Hatin'...on the Farm

Jordan Green over at YES! Weekly passes this on in this week's issue:

Some haters

Flyers wrapped around recycled pages of the News & Record and sealed in blue plastic bags proclaiming the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to be “a national disgrace” turned up in the driveways of residents in the Adams Farm section of Greensboro on Monday morning. The flyers advertise the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, an Arkansas oufit run by Thomas Robb that advocates for “white Christians.” The flyers accuse King of slandering the military, attempt to link him to communist groups and assail his purported “anti-women behavior, his ‘secret’ homosexual lifestyle, and his subversive actions towards American and its traditions of Christian decency.” The Knights Party has been sued by The Rhinoceros Times in the past for using its pages to package racist propaganda. The flyer distributed Monday contains the proviso, “The attached newspaper/magazine is for weight purposes and should not be considered an endorsement of either this flyer [or] the Knights Party.” — JG

And you know...I was wondering why my driveway didn't have a blue bag on Monday morning whereas my neighbors had one; I didn't know what to make of it.

Kind of scary...
