Obama/KKK Link is Bullsh*t!

Klan Director Angrily Responds to Article Flooding the Internet

Gary  'The G-Man' Toms
About a month ago, I received a rather disturbing email from a dear friend of mine. Embedded in the email was an "article" claiming that Kentucky's Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, Ronald Edwards, had endorsed Barack Obama. I'm sure many of you may have received the same email, especially if you're part of the black community. Strangely enough, the article seems to be flooding the email boxes of blacks and whites all across the country. The article cites Edwards' reason for the alleged support as an effort to thwart Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House. I'm paraphrasing here, but according to Edwards, "Anyone is better than having that crazy-ass bitch in the White House." The article goes on to note that Edwards had donated $250,000 to Obama's campaign, which really made me sit up and take notice. If Obama did in fact take a contribution from the Klan, it deserved media attention and a column from The G-man.

The Internet chatter over this article began to spread like wildfire. Even noted radio talk-show hosts, both black and white, gave significant air-time to it. While everyone was busy trying to figure out what the hell was going on, The G-man went to work by directly contacting Edwards, via email, to confirm the story. I was very interested in hearing what the Imperial Wizard had to say, especially given the fact that I just obtain comments from his boss, the Klan's National Director Pastor Thomas Robb, who vehemently stated that the KKK would never support a black man for president. To date, Edwards has not responded and is not likely to. It could be a "black thing". Who the hell knows?

Dismayed that Edwards didn't show The G-man any love, I made the decision to take the article apart, bit by bit, and carefully analyze it. Check out what I found. The name of the alleged reporter on the story was named James R. Crowe. When I searched news organizations throughout the U.S., there was no listing of the reporter being linked to this story. Next, I researched the Ku Klux Klan to see what information would pop up. Interestingly enough, I found a correlation between the reporter's name and the history of the hate group. James R. Crowe was said to be one of its founding members. Moreover, if you break down the name James R. Crowe, you get the name "Jim Crow"! This made me realize that I had proved the article was complete bullshit, but with people all across the country swearing the article was real, I needed one more crucial piece of evidence. The G-man wasted no time in getting it.

One day after my research, I emailed the article to Pastor Robb and asked him to give me his assessment, as the Klan's national director and spokesman. It took him a while to get back to me, but I suspect it was because he was trying to find out who was responsible for trying to make the Klan look like a bunch of assholes. Based on his response, which was issued in a national press release, Robb is not at all happy with the article and rumors. Robb stated, "Despite some rumors, the Ku Klux Klan is not endorsing Barack Obama for President!" Robb went on to say his organization has serious questions they would like Barack to answer. "Is he willing to stand for the protection of white men, women and children who are quickly becoming America's new minority? Just over two years ago, the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. stated that white children under the age of five counted for less than 50 percent of the population. I do not feel it is an exaggeration to be very concerned about America's future. Where does Barrack Obama's allegiance lie?"

Robb's anger apparently reached a boiling point, as the Klansman actually referred to Obama as a "traitor". "Many are saying his allegiance is to Africa. Barack Obama, if elected, will try to take the bread from our children's mouths and send it to Africa. What will be left to feed the hungry in the United States of America? The U.S. is a great nation! How great will we be should a traitor take office as President? Is America headed down a dangerous path? We believe so. While we do not take an official position toward any candidate, we feel that we represent the opinion of many dissatisfied people throughout the country who worry for the future of their children."

Rachel Pendergraft, national spokeswoman for the organization, said, "We pray for the day when we will see a strong candidate; a God fearing white man or woman, who will restore the principles of the Constitution, promote free enterprise versus a planned economy, put military troops on the border to stop illegal immigration, put an end to the social experiment called forced integration which has had a devastating effect on all races, and return our schools to a wholesome environment of learning by removing homosexual indoctrination."

Well, alrighty then! With that said, I think it's safe to assume the Ku Klux Klan IS NOT endorsing Senator Barack Obama. Catch you folks later!

    Thank you for writing this article.The KKK was here in Fredericktown . I know they are here and I hope there are more people that are opposed to them, than join them. I think they came from another planet.

    To all the PUNK-ASS racists posting hate comments for "The G-Man", this is all I have to say: "The fine ladies and gentlemen of Associated Content, I present to you.......IGNORANCE AT IT'S FINEST!

    THE KLAN IS THE LEAST OF YOUR WORRYS YOU WORTHLESS COCKSUCKER

    I'm not sure if this is the article you mentioned on my Bill Gwatney article -- I haven't picked up on a related theory except the hatred for Hillary Clinton. Well, anyway I think you did a great job here on investigating the source...it opened my eyes a bit wider...I think it's easy for some of us white folks to forget the KKK is still active when you're not really exposed to it or can't fathom their twisted minds -- not that I'm blind to some of the supremacy and hate that has increased in our country on multiple levels. Keep up the good work!

    Sad thing is it seems many people do not know the Klan is still active. Perhaps they do not lynch people, bomb churches and stuff today. But they are darn good at legal lynchings and other stuff. Lots of bad press here about Wright and "I am appalled" or "I am outraged". Never get that about the Klan.

    Oops, wandered from the KKK Obama endorsement. But in a way it is related. Obama proposes solutions to fixing inner city issues. Sad his Pastor seems to playing devils advocate in reaction to Ferraro's statement last week. He should have stuck to preaching the gospel and left politics out of the pulpit. I have been having a hard enough time trying to convince Pocono Mountain area~my term~rednecks~that Obama's church is not racist. See what the guy told you about sending all the money to Africa. BTW, did you see that CP's article about Obama's church. Over 300 comments....I can just see the headlines now~or maybe Dame Clinton will do it at the next debate. She will show the clip and demand Obama denounce his minister and his church. She already got him in trouble due to Farrakhan~and those Pocono people know all about it. Sigh.

    Now I never suggested it to Paul's supporters that were pestering me to death. Instead I would say: He is stuck in the 1950s and out of touch with the reality of today. I would give the example of his wife. She probably did not need a business license when she ran a dance school in her basement. Today a homeless person needs a permit to sell street newspapers. Hard to do when one has no address. : > The gist of Paul's message may tie in what you imply Cosby was saying. Blacks are lazy, whiners who want everything handed to them on a silver platter, playing the race card (whatever that means) and playing the victim. But I remember those days and "we don't hire that kind here"~even after Affirmative Action. I know a bit how lenders discriminate against persons of color as to housing or small business loans. I know a bit of the difference between rich school districts, such as where my sister taught and poor school districts that do not pay enough to attract quality teachers.

    The article came from a UK satire paper the Squibb. Shamontiel just sent me that email. When I first read the article a few months back I checked Snopes dot com. It was not there so I went to Open Secrets to try to verify those supposed donations to Obama's campaign fund, with no luck and forgot about it for a while. I was checking another KKK thing at Snopes, which is how I found out it was satire. What I was trying to verify was one of Ron Paul's campaign staff members~no longer remember the guys name~to verify if he was a KKK member. I saw a video of the guy giving an anger white supremacists speech and linked to the Klan. My next stop was Storm Front to see if he was a member. And dagnabbit, there are the photos of Ron Paul at one of his rallies with proud Storm Front guys. I had my suspicions of Paul being a racist~can pick up clues from words spoken, ya see.

    The KKK? Lynching's too good for 'em! Seriously though, you did good, Gary. Those guys (and women too it seems!) would make me laugh if they weren't so sinister. I can hardly believe they're still at it in the 21st century. Keep on rattling their cage!

    Good investigative (neo)-journalism. KKK-what idiots. Do they even know how much food produced in America is discarded for purposes of market prices "while there's a white man at the helm. Talk about tunnel-vision.
