He also knows the KKK was never progressive or liberal in their history.

I have noticed a concerted effort in the media to confuse the liberal/progressive terminology. It seems to have started with Limbaugh saying Hitler and the NAZIs were leftist/liberal because they had the word socialist as part of their name.

This is a misinformation effort. It is akin to saying the moon is made of green cheese. But it actually influences some of the more uneducated people.

The KKK was formed by ex-Confederates who couldn't admit they lost the Civil War. And today these douchebag RWNJs pretend like the Dems & Clowns didn't switch polarities in the late 60s! This is why they want to abolish the Dept of Education- So no one will question the alternate reality in which they live. They can see how well it's working in North Korea...
