POPSDavid Duke Defends Tea Parties From Charges of Racism
Personally, I do not think that the entire tea party movement is racist. The majority probably (hopefully) are not. That said, neither do I believe that there are absolutely no racists who attend them, and that there was not a chance that some may have shouted racist comments at a congressman just because there is not a video. I also know that you cannot always control who supports you or "your cause", but if some of Dukes' friends were in attendance, I would say there is a fairly good chance that one can wager there were at least a few racists there. The only thing that one who does not share their ideologies can and should do is denounce those who feel that way and clarify that theirs is not a welcome or shared sentiment, not just deny that they are there. People like Duke & friends suck, but they do exist and at times will adopt the same causes that you support. This does not mean you support theirs. Life is not Glenn Becks' magic blackboard.

POPSA Brave and Honourable Catholic Priest Against these baseless accusations, Father Coyle defended the faith and the Order, becoming a lightning rod for attacks. Federal agents warned Bishop Edward Allen of Mobile, Ala., of threats against Father Coyle’s life and of plans to burn his church to the ground. Then, on Aug. 11, 1921, Rev. Edwin R. Stephenson, a Methodist minister and Klansman, stepped onto the porch of St. Paul’s rectory with a loaded handgun. About an hour earlier, Father Coyle had officiated the wedding of Rev. Stephenson’s 18-year-old daughter, Ruth, to Pedro Gussman, a Catholic migrant from Puerto Rico. Like many other Klansmen, Rev. Stephenson despised Catholics. When he learned that Father Coyle had married his daughter to Gussman, he was livid. He shot the priest in cold blood, and Father Coyle died within minutes. The man that murdered Fr. Coyle was aquited. The trial judge was a Klan member.

POPSLearning of the Battle of Oxford paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. They had to capture the city quickly; the F.B.I. had intelligence that thousands of Klansmen and segregationists from California to Georgia may have set off for Oxford, many of them armed. The first troops to reach Oxford found over 100 wounded federal marshals at the center of campus, 27 of them hit by civilian gunfire. Packs of hundreds of rioters swarmed the city, some holding war dances around burning vehicles. Snipers opened fire on the Army convoys and bricks struck the heads of American soldiers. Black G.I.'s in one convoy were ambushed by white civilians who tried to decapitate them in their open Jeeps with metal pipes.... ...The Army troops restored order to the school and the city, block by block. A girl watched a team of infantrymen under attack on the Oxford town square and, according to a reporter at the scene, wondered aloud, "When are they going to shoot back?"

POPSRules For Training Your Dog And Your Politicians
For example, a lot of people are trying to get different behaviors out of dogs and politicians by going to town hall meetings and yelling at them. Now, as Cesar would tell you, that is not a good strategy. While that might intimidate some of the more timid dogs and politicians, many of them will feed off that angry energy and only get more frantic, barking and calling everyone who disagrees with them racists and Klansmen. As Cesar will tell you, dogs and politicians often act out because they don’t know what’s expected of them. To help with that, they need rules, boundaries, and limitations. Politicians are the same way. Their rules, boundaries, and limitations are clearly defined in the Constitution For example, socialism is clearly not allowed, but politicians are constantly testing this boundary and often ignoring it entirely. Why? We’re not always consistent about it. Consistency is important, but that’s not all there is to handling your dog or politician . . .

POPSWhite Supremacists Cheer Obama Convinced that all will see the inferiority of non-white people if Obama is elected. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Maybe Affirmative Action boosted him to the top of his Harvard Law class. Maybe it suppressed unfortunate McCain to the bottom of his US Naval Academy class.

POPSPropaganda art "Propaganda is neutrally defined as a systematic form of purposeful persuasion that attempts to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, and actions of specified target audiences for ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages (which may or may not be factual) via mass and direct media channels. A propaganda organization employs propagandists who engage in propagandism—the applied creation and distribution of such forms of persuasion."

POPS40% rise in Hate Groups since 2000: Southern Poverty Law Center More: "The defendants are members and high-ranking officials of one of the most violent white supremacist groups in America," said SPLC President Richard Cohen. "They promote violence and intimidation and call for the death of racial and ethnic minorities, homosexuals and so-called 'race traitors.' They targeted and viciously beat our client solely because he has brown skin." The IKA's compound in Dawson Springs, Ky., is situated on 28 acres owned by Ron Edwards. It is the site of Nordic Fest, a music festival that brings together Klansmen, skinheads and members of other violent hate groups each year in May.
