re: Anon Keeps Giving the KKK Free Publicity and Making the KKK Feel Relevant

There's an intersection near my house where the traffic signs are screwed up in that no one has right-of-way. Visibility is great in all directions. People regularly ignore the stop signs. I haven't seen an accident there in 30 years.

A state trooper starts hanging out behind some bushes and begins writing tickets to errbody. Subsequently I notice several bullet holes in the sign. After somebody takes a shotgun to it, they replace the sign and the troopers keep writing tickets. Next thing I know, somebody runs over it with a coal truck. They replace the post and slap a new sign on it. Keep writing tickets.

And then the unthinkable happened. Somebody took a rattle can and spray painted a swastika on the sign. The local newspaper suggested this was the work of a smoldering hotbed of Nazi skinheads. One well-meaning soul took a can of paint thinner and tried to erase it, but wound up taking all the paint off down to the metal which actually made a bigger swastika.

They replace the sign. The cops quit hanging out there. The "Nazi skinhead" problem goes away. Still haven't seen any accidents.

As CLM would say, there is a want. In liberal groups, any sign of KKK/neo-Nazi activity triggers a collective orgasm.
