Six middle-class Confederate veterans from Pulaski, Tennessee, created the original Ku Klux Klan on December 24, 1865, in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War.[7]
Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is the name of several past and present secret domestic militant organizations in the United States, originating in the southern states, that are best known for advocating white supremacy and acting as terrorists while hidden behind conical hats, masks and white robes. The KKK has a record of terrorism,[2] violence, and lynching to intimidate, murder, and oppress African Americans…
The first Klan was founded in 1865 by veterans of the Confederate Army. Its purpose was to restore white supremacy in the aftermath of the American Civil War.

That Harold Ford "Racist Ad"
Posted by wpcomimportuser1
Today E.J. Dionne bashes Republicans for running negative, racist ads, highlighting the RNC ad against Harold Ford in Tennessee that has received so much attention from the media elite:
And there is what will, sadly, become the most famous advertisement of this election cycle, the "Harold, call me'' ad run by the Republican National Committee against Rep. Harold Ford Jr., the Democratic candidate for the Senate from Tennessee. To claim that an ad depicting a pretty blonde woman coming on to an African-American politician does not play on the fears of miscegenation on the part of some whites is to ignore history. My hunch is that the sliminess won't work this year.

Chip Saltsman was responsible for that Naked White Lady ad:
“Saltsman then became Senior Political Advisor to Majority Leader Frist at VOLPAC, a political action committee chaired by Frist and dedicated to recruitment and support of Republican candidates for political office nationwide. In 2004, eighteen of the twenty-two races that VOLPAC supported were successful. And, in 2006, VOLPAC helped ensure the election of Senator Bob Corker over Harold Ford, Jr. in Tennessee.[3]
Now Saltsman continues with his KKK-inspired racism by releasing a disparaging song about Obama:
“For Christmas 2008, Saltsman sent a music CD full of political satire songs to members of the Republican National Committee. The CD of 41 songs included one entitled "David Ehrenstein's 'Barack the Magic Negro'" set to the tune of "Puff, the Magic Dragon".
