Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Some people are making a big deal about a KKK rally in Austin, Texas, in support of the anti-gay marriage amendment due for a statewide vote on November 8.

The rally planned on the steps of city hall the Saturday before the election will urge voters to favor proposition 2.

However, some who support proposition 2 don't welcome the KKK's assistance.

One such person is Pastor Ryan Rush of Bannockburn Baptist Church. Rush said that a group that would come in that is characterized as hateful and bigoted is not welcome in this city. He said he doesn't want the Klan as a partner on any cause.

In a letter the Klan sent to the city, the group acknowledged that security will be an issue, noting the violence that erupted at a KKK rally and march to the capitol in Austin in 1983.

Can't blame the Rev. Rush for his concern, but he should relax. Most Americans realize that the KKK has always been very opportunistic in its causes, hoping to find just the right mixture of issues that will increase its fan base beyond the bigoted nutjobs who comprise its core. In modern times it has never worked.

The KKK are not strange bedfellows at all. Isn't it obvious that they only dropped by just to steal the sheets!
