Sen.Robert Byrd should be kicked out of office for his remarks

I would guess that would be hard to find out. I think one of their mantras is secretness, thus the tradition of the hoods during public appearances. DO YOU have a population count on them?

I'd like to find out somehow... !?!?!?? Perhaps someone else
know this answer, ugh ?

You're right I never see any article
about whereabouts of KKK and name
of town/city areas etc... so I have
no idea which town/city have the
highest population of KKK...

Here is an article on the KKK, but I would view it with a touch of skepticism, since the primary source is the ADL. Morris Dees with the SPLC isn't much more trustworthy.

This is the link to the Klan:

Caution: This is what they say about the Klan themselves. Consider the source.

We have some kkk in our area. You wouldn't know it by driving down the road, but a few years ago, there was a 'rally' at our state capital. 6 Klan members showed up for the rally and hundreds of counter protesters showed up to kick them out of town

On occassion, we have some white supremacy groups that distribute flyers in the middle of the night.

I think it has been about four years since they held a "rally" in the Charleston area.

I just went looking through some old articles I have. It was Feb 7th 1998 (sheesh..how time flies). They didn't want to call the counter demonstration a counter protest. What the other groups did was form a 'Unity Day' on the same day. It was actually a pretty good idea to do it like that. That is basically what kept things from getting violent (there had been rumors of violent counter protests). I remember they took the tour busses and surrounded a spot near the capital called 'Lawyers Mall'. Basically these Klansmen were surrounded on all sides by busses. This kept things from getting out of hand. As the Klansmen got louder with their speeches, the counter-protesters got even louder.

[Historical Notes: [1]. On February 7, 1998, Congressman Elijah Cummings joined Governor Parris N. Glendening, Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, and more than one thousand other people of good will in Annapolis, Maryland, for "Unity Day" events, including a march and rally celebrating unity and diversity. [2]. These multi-cultural unity events were the Annapolis community's response to a provocative KKK rally - also held in Annapolis on that day - by members of the hate group from other communities (a KKK rally permitted in exercise of the Klan's First Amendment right to "protest" the celebration of Black History Month). [3]. Through the love, tireless effort and organizational skill of the Annapolis volunteer organizers, their community emerged from the Klan invasion without significant injury to persons or property and reaffirmed their city's commitment to multicultural unity and diversity. [4]. Congressman Cummings' actual address to the Unity Rally departed from the text of his prepared remarks, but he makes the prepared text available in the hope that all who read the following words will thoughtfully consider the problems and perspective they advance.]

Once there was hundreds of thousands of klansmen in washington.

And they left one behind.
