The lefties in Durham are upset that fliers, purporting to be the
product of the Klan’s fevered brains, showed up in their leafy
neighborhoods (as the News & Observer likes to call them). But Durham Police Sgt. Dale Gunter pointed out to them on an e-mail to the Partners Against Crime District 2 listserv:
While no one wants to see our city associated with this type of
literature, it is protected by the Constitution. The
same Constitution gives us the right to read what we wish, protest an
issue, choose to worship what and where we want ? the list is long. We
take the good with the bad.
Darn. So even wackos on the right have free speech? How can that be?
Further, the direct-mail golden goose Southern Poverty Law Center has even cast doubt on the Klan provenance of these fliers. Echoing Jon Sanders, who constantly points to “hate crimes” manufactured by lefties to denigrate the right, an SPLC expert on hate groups says he “wouldn’t vouch” for assertions that the neo-Nazi National Alliance distributed the fliers. In his opinion, according to The Herald-Sun of Durham, the fliers “featured an uncharacteristic use of cartoons [and]
didn’t seem like the kind of literature the group has put out before.”
