...year-old Liberty Counsel in Orlando, Florida. "In the '80s we discovered we must enter the mainstream to assert those liberties." Along with a number of school-prayer cases, the Liberty Counsel has advocated free speech in an amicus Supreme Court brief on behalf of the Ku Klux Klan, which wants to erect a cross on the Ohio statehouse grounds. Other legal groups focus on defending antiabortion activists, while the Rutherford Institute, established in 1982, concentrates on what founder John Whitehead calls "legitimate civil liberties cases," such as school prayer and home schooling...
...years as the nation's premier civil rights organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has faced snarling police dogs, cross-burning Ku Klux Klansmen and murderous assaults on its members. But none of these posed as dangerous a threat to the N-Double-A's continued survival as the group's own recent leadership. Under the feckless sway of William F. Gibson, an inarticulate but wily South Carolina dentist who has chaired the group since 1985, the organization has sunk into near bankruptcy--both financially and intellectually. Says Michael Meyers, a former n.a.a.c.p. staff member...
Murray, like Holocaust revisionists and the Ku Klux Klan, must be vilified. His Harvard connections and clever insinuations have enabled his rotten work to poison political debate.

Charles Murray and all he stands for must be driven from academic, social and political discourse like a diseased...
...television news. One of the tapes showed soldiers of the elite Airborne Regiment at Petawawa, Ontario, a base 115 km northwest of Ottawa, participating in vicious and racist hazing rituals in 1992. In one scene a black recruit crawled across the ground, with symbols declaring ``I love the Ku Klux Klan'' daubed in excrement on his back. Another soldier was shown being forced to eat urine-soaked bread. The second tape depicted Airborne members in Somalia in 1993, where they were serving as U.N. peacekeepers. Asked to describe his tour, one soldier told the anonymous interviewer, ``I think it sucks...
...gleeful fusillade of criticism from Democrats. In 1986, Jeffrey had written that the junior high school program in question contained "no evidence of balance or objectivity. The Nazi point of view, however unpopular, is still a point of view and is not presented, nor is that of the Ku Klux Klan." Moving quickly to avoid a prolonged, Clintonian embarrassment, Gingrich fired the professor the same day the evaluation came to light, though an assistant of Jeffrey's claimed the Speaker had known about her views on the program before he hired...
