Sorry to say it's sad but true. The ineffectiveness of our government at stemming the illegal tide into the US has brought this about.

It's a shame that folk have to turn to scum like the Klan because there is nobody in the government that will do the right thing.

I think this is great.
We have to do something about illegals, left-winged activists and corrupted policticans. Thanks for bringing this story to the East TN area.
Many Many East TN residents are fed up with the increased numbers of illegals. They cost Americans much money and they drive our highways with fate drivers license and no insurance.
Also, they account for a large percentage of crime.
So I am all for what the KKK is doing.

Good... SOMEBODY needs to do something because our inefficient and ineffective and laughing-stock government is only concerned with making sure it's OWN citizens have passports to get back into our OWN country.

Scum is scum, no matter what color their skin is. I don't think the Black Panthers are any less scummy than the Klan. The are all disgusting racist creeps.

i'm glad somebody is doing something, whether it is the kkk\black panthers\me or you don't matter. it's sad when we the people have to depend "our" government to p*ssyfoot around, not having the b*lls to do anything.
the government is probably glad the kkk has got involved. it is easier to get the majority of people p*ssed off and focused on them, after the kkk does the governments dirty work.

We are being invaded. If it takes the KLAN to stop the invasion then so be it. The Federal Government has done nothing about the invasion. Spanish is spoken every where in Knoxville. Americans are strangers in their own country. Start the first concentration camp in Crawford Texas. GO KKK

Count me in..I am sick of all this crap too. Our country will not be ours in another 25-30 years unless we do something now!! What kind of life will our children / grandchildren face when we are taken over by ILLEGALS??? They breed like rabbits and are sucking welfare & schools dry!!! We had better wake up!!

GO Klu Klux Klan!!
If we had a "White Caucus" in Congress there would be a world wide outcry. If we had a "White Coaches Association" every negroe in the country would be dead set against it.
If we had a "White American College Fund" every n---er & n---er lover in the country would be crying foul.
In the history of the NFL one negroe quarterback has won the Super Bowl, and, the very next season he was completely out of the game due to lack of talent.
Must I say more?
I can make more statements of FACT, but, I believe if you can think at all you get my point.
LONG LIVE THE KKK!!!
I say more power to the KKK.

While we are at it - let's get the Muslims out of here too - the reason they stay quiet about the terror their "religion" brought to this world - only means they condone the behavior.

Reading some of the comments makes me hope that the racist rednecks in this country are still a minority. And, when later this year there is a comprehensive immigration reform with path to legalization for undocumented workers, maybe there should be a provision to deport all the NASCAR-watching Billy Bobs from this country: America will be a better place without Billy Bob!
Rednecks and racists: get a job or get out!

TO MR COHEN------YOU WROTE GET A JOB OR GET OUT. GO WHERE, TO MEXICO. YOU CANT GET A JOB IN THE KNOXVILLE AREA BECAUSE THE ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE WORKING THE JOBS. THERE ARE ALOT OF LARGE CORPORATIONS HERE IN KNOXVILLE EMPLOYING ILLEGAL ALIENS WITH THE HELP OF EMPLOYMENT SERVICE AGENCY'S AS FRONTS. WHO DO YOU BUST THE CORPORATION OR THE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY OR BOTH. THE KKK WILL DO A BETTER JOB AGAINST THE ILLEGAL ALIENS THEN BUSH HAS.

It is truly sad when an essentially lawless group of mindless bigots are made to have a voice because our government has done and probably will do nothing about illegal immigration problem. This issue ought not be turned into a race issue.(Essentially, it is a legal issue, and a class issue). As I suspected, because successive administrations have done nothing substantial, we will watch as America becomes balkanized. Who will win? The neo Nazis or the Latinos? We could have spent our time far more profitably. All we had to do was enforce the law. Dare I even think it?: Did someone (with an obscene amount of money) have a private agenda? or was it just corruption as usual that steered our government into accepting an invasion for Latin American--with open arms?

Well whatever, the KKK can have its First Ammendment rights, but whatever they do I just hope they emphasize that Nathan Bedford Forrest was NOT the true father of the KKK. So what if he started it? He also tried to DESTROY all evidence of it after he realized it was getting out of hand. Only in the 1930s was the KKK picked up again by a guy elsewhere in the country. Please KKK, tell people the truth and quit makin people think that Forrest was a bad man.
