Who cares.
The Klan may be there cowardly tucked away in the crowds during the debate but it won’t have any effect on the debate itself nor the candidates involved.
Security is tight, the Secret Service is on the alert. How many times have we seen hecklers get booted and escorted out??? It won’t be any different but it will certainly be entertaining to watch them get dragged by the collar across the aisel.
The “Klan” is basically inept and weak and doesn’t pose much of a threat like in the old days. But still they should be cautious about it.

With regard to Secret Service on alert:
First, leave no stone unturned to inspect everyone who enters the hall where the debat is being held, including all media personnel and substutes if there are any.
Second, the space for a great distance around the hall needs to be secured.
Third, the route to and from the airport and beyond needs to be secured with every possible means.

I hope that you are willing to be defrocked before coming into the debates. Specters at the feast are so middle ages.
Why don’t you guys come into the twenty first century with the rest of us.

Well if anyone who watched the debates, which went pretty smoothly without any hint of interferrences from the crowd. The Klan Klowns who were supposedly in attendance(I doubted it) at the debates didn’t have any effect on the debate itself or candidiates.
So heretofore, the annoucement that the Klowns will be there largely was overlooked.
I don’t think people actually take them seriously but they should remain under scrutiny and survelliance.
And I think Obama did a great job last night by maintaining his composure and professionalism. McCain on the other hand spent the majority of the time demeaning, scrowling Obama as if he couldn’t handle criticism very well. Not to mention those grins on his face that makes him look like a jerk.
