...like the things that other men like," they all start screaming, "faggot, queer." Welfare is unpopular, as is charity, deemed "communist." A beery tough asks one Klansman how much it costs to join. Told $20, he replies, "For that, can I burn two niggers a month?" "The Klan has no connection to all that violence you've heard about," the kleagle says, and the man looks confused till he sees a radio microphone stretched in their direction. "Get that fucking thing out of here," he tells the reporter, and then apologizes profusely to the robed one. "That's all right...
EVERYONE TALKS contemptuously about radicals, repeating something someone once told them about how the far left is just like the far right.

Wilkinson led the crowd of 400 across the field to the cross and, cautioning spectators to stay out of range of the flames, distributed torches to the 40 or 50 hooded Klansmen. After explaining the religious significance of the ceremony--"Christ's purifying light will shine forever"--the Wizard told his followers to light their gasoline-soaked torches. Barking out his orders, he had them circle the cross three...
