Alabama newspaper editor calls on KKK to lynch Democrats


The editor and publisher of a local paper in Alabama is under fire for penning an editorial calling for mass lynchings by the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).

The opinion piece ran in his print-only newspaper, the Democrat-Reporter, last Thursday, Goodloe Sutton confirmed on Tuesday.

He said Democrats were going to raise taxes and that the KKK should hang them and raid Washington DC.

Alabama lawmakers have called for Sutton to resign.

The KKK is one of the oldest white supremacy groups in the US, formed just after the civil war. The group was behind many of the lynchings, rapes and violent attacks on African Americans in the 1900s.


The editorial began garnering attention online after students from Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, tweeted photographs of the article.

COMMENT:-

What's the big problem here? Doesn't the 1st Amendment protect "freedom of the press" and "freedom of speech"? I mean, didn't the editorial SPECIFICALLY STATE "It's not calling for the lynchings of Americans."? I mean it's not as if the editorial were calling for hangings based on race, religion, gender, physical impediment, or national origin (doing that would be illegal) - right? Besides if those left-wing, loony, liberal, socialist, pinko, commie, N***** lovin', so-called "students" hadn't made a big fuss over nothing who would have cared - right?
 
Well yeah, it’s Alabama, the land of good ole’ boys, outside toilets, and houses on wheels.

Your tongue-in-cheek commentary notwithstanding, ...

Freedom of the press is protected. That is why there is no law under which this editor can be charged for writing what he wrote.

That is not to say that there is freedom from consequences. People can retaliate by boycotting the advertisers in that paper until the editor is dismissed. They can put pickets up in front of the newspaper's publication site. They can boycott retail outlets that sell the paper, and they can cancel their subscriptions.

Freedom of the press doesn't grant you the right to incite violence against political opponents like freedom of speech doesn't grant you permission to shout fire in a crowded theater.

Ignorance is promoted by people of Ignorance.

Again, I say.... "This" and.....

Follow up with this: " "The Confederate Ideological War Upon and Against America from within the Trump and Republican Organizations and its Constituency....
There is "no act they won't comment", there is no governance system of policy they respect, and there is no honor unto the United States of America, the point and fact is ... the Confederacy NEVER ceased its acts of treason and subversive acts to invoke treasonous activities.

They hey day of "white nationalism of white male dominance, is "over"... these attempt to try and hang on to the last vestiges to promote its continuance has brought out in the open, all those who have lusted for a remake of the systems that existed pre-1964. President LBJ broke the back of segregation, but he said some will hold in their hearts and minds the vile of segregationist madness, and he clearly identified whom they are.

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

The wealthy have used them as foot-soldiers to promote self defeating madness for centuries and decades, and they still have not figured out, their condition and status in life and economics is thrust upon them by the same wealthy and industrialist who continually use them like "well groomed pawns", to help keep taxes on the wealthy low, while the wealthy do all they can to keep wages low on the working poor and train them like a cult, to blame everything but themselves and the wealthy who control and direct them. It's been centuries of the greatest scam every played out upon and through the backing of poor whites and working poor whites... to promote the "divide mentality" for the sake of the wealthy dominating over poor whites, working poor whites, women and minorities. All while leading the right wing poor whites to push the agenda of "self defeat" all in the aim to play on their delusions about their skin color, and the want to have someone to look down upon... they will give up anything and everything and spin themselves into full economic duress, just to support an angle and delusion of having someone to look down upon.
All the while, the wealthy extend the gap of wealth far beyond the grasp of poor whites, working poor whites, women and minorities.

No one see's any of the well to do whites of liberal mindset, nor do they see any of the working poor whites of liberal mindset, pandering to protect the wealthy, and they do not support massive tax give aways to the wealthy and the industrialist.... The liberal minded whites, women and minorities stand up for "each and all" and they stand to promote the respect for and of "civil and civic equality" for any and for all, and they stand in support to promote the aims for economic opportunity to have accessibility for any and for all, to have means and access to earn and gain economic equilibrium for any and for all.

The racist and segregationist have not learned over all these centuries and decades.. that their fight is being engaged by them "against themselves" and they try and do it by and through attacks on others, with a vain hope that their white skin will give them what it has never given them.
White privilege has been of design for the wealthy whites, the delusion of white privilege among poor whites is nothing more than a fictional fantasy, because the wealthy white and well to do whites, "buy" and "back" white privilege for themselves, based on their having "money" and "political power".... They could care less about a broke and poor white, except they are useful to create a buffer of contentions between society, and the wealthy and well to do. They are like a disposable insulation to protect the wealthy whites and the well to do and the industrialist. They should have learned that truth, from the way the poor whites were used to fight the Civil War, which was of design to protect the wealthy whites, the industrialist slave holder and to ensure that the poor white remained in the 'service class" as controllable minions, who were always considered as disposable pawns.
 
They have been trained to play any game of divisions, be it based on bias and bigotry of ethnicity games, of which they have been trained to play out upon and against, other whites, based on their country of origin's heritage... when they call came from "Europe"... but one group was biased and bigoted against another, from the various regions of Europe, and they all... even though they could not stand each other, they came together on one matter, and that was the matter of "skin color and hair texture"... to stand against the Minorities from Non White Countries of Origin.

They embedded the bias and bigotry into the make up of "religious ideology" to ensure they play it out in the hearts and minds of each other by contorting religious motivations into factions of ethnic and racial prejudices, bias, bigotry into the frame work to promote the make up of what is "racism".

They brought the Segregationist Ideology of Serfdom to America..... each trying to protect their wealthy serf masters and the various ideals of the various serf masters... as they amassed themselves into "cult like" grouping of secular serf groups.... This has been transferred into amassing them into "political groups"... to push their ideals of "serfdom by skin color and hair texture" madness into society.

Most can't and don't have the capacity to think expansive or deep enough to see, acknowledge, or recolonize the role they play in their own self containment gaming of secular groups embedded in serfdom. They rally and rail about how their wealthy master's need more money, how their wealth masters need more tax cuts and how their wealthy mastered have trained them to fight against the very social and civic safety net programs the principles of Democracy try and promote and provide for them and all of society. They stand "promoting the wailing of the wealthy" who tell them... push to cut programs, push to give the wealthy tax breaks, and break down the system of social and civic programs, so the wealthy won't be obligated to pay any tax, that might help support general society.

These are the same types who fought against Unions, because they were determined that their serf masters needed more money!!! They became so devoted to that agenda, until they supported the busting of unions and then followed up to support the stripping away of workers benefits, and now they support stripping away worker's protections, even the protections of "safety programs" in the work place.. They support the madness of this Administration wealthy who say, do away with "safety record" so no injured worked has any documentation of prescience to file claim due to injury. Unaware they support the premise of themselves being continually seen as "disposable" and easily "dis cared low wage labor" who can be tossed away when they are injured and can no longer make money for the wealthy. They are "too ignorance" to know... this is the premise of ideology of how a system felt about slaves and indentured white servants and the poor white service class... they were to be afford nothing, but back breaking labor, and when they could no longer give it, they were seen as useless to the wealthy, and slated for the category of "disposable".... to be left to die out... They again showed that is the premise and principles they follow, when the "Let's kill and let die out any who can't earn money for the wealthy, whether they are sickly children, sickly young adults, or elderly who can no longer work.....

This is the ideals the Right Wingers and Racist have been groomed to back and support... and of too much ignorance to know... its equally so themselves they stand and fight against as well.
 
Well yeah, it’s Alabama, the land of good ole’ boys, outside toilets, and houses on wheels.

Putin must be thrilled with his boy Donny.

Just what he wants. A civil war in the USA.
 
Not only will they not gain any insight from what is written above... many will come to fight against it like a savage fighting against civility, and others will run from it for fear it may "enlighten them" and crash their whole concepts that they built their lives around.
many can't digest it, because to do so, would bring awareness that they have lived their life based on an ideology of self defeat all while being enthralled in vanity of skin color madness, that has made them filled with loathing against others based on skin. While doing so... they will forsake anything of ethic's and dignity, for the sake to promote the delusions of white nationalist agenda of white male dominance with the self delusions of white supremacy. They've turned that into a "Political Party Agenda" .... unaware of its subversive and corrosive acts and actions upon and against the principles of Democracy.
Segregation was and is as much promoted in various religions and has been promoted by and through secular religious madness for centuries and decades. We see it every more present today, in the stand of the "right wing white evangelicals"... who cling fast to the ideals of "antebellum society" and Confederate Ideology, rooted and groomed in "segregationist ignorance".. all the while promoting every aspect they can of white nationalistic agenda... It stands to relegate women as if they still see them as "possessions" and they promote their anguish that they can't continue the promotions of seeing blacks and other minorities as property.
They still amass and control the poor and dire poor whites into the likes of servitude to the wealthy, to be no more than a service class of disposable minions, easily replaceable and easily discarded when they can't product money for the wealthy or the institutions of religions that governs the minds and hearts of such masses.

This message has been available and presented for centuries, and they fight against it, because it would burst their bubble of expecting white skin delusions of superiority, and the want to white privilege.


When they can find no one to immediately attack, they will attack each other about "money"... to the point they will "wipe out the entire family", "kill a mate" and even come to the vile of killing their own parents for the sake of Money... with a hope that it will give them the "white stature" to try and stand among the wealthy. It's the damnest thing ever!!! The self measurement based on "money"... in the aims to want to acquire white privilege based on wealth holdings.

It's why Trump knew he could tell them.. "he could shoot someone of wall Street, and they'd still back him"... because he knew how much they worship a white man with money and the ideals of white men with money. They'd stand brother against brother, father against son, and children against parents, for the love and lust of money. We see the news filled with them on a daily basis. We see within their Religious groups... the lusting of sexual obsessions that damage the lives of children by the same ones who claim to promote a purity in religion, when they can't see beyond and within the structure built on amassing money, leading the masses and seducing their children for sexual gratifications... while still pushing "ideals of bias and bigotry" through 'secularist religious ideology"... yet, each religion claims itself devoted to "One God"... yet.. because of secularist religious programming, yet, one group can't stand the other. Which tells the truth of the promotion of divisiveness, and "NOT" Unity... all while they each claim to support and promote "One God"...

Today in society, they cry and whine that "white men are being discriminated against"... because... they no longer have "white male dominance as a means to have the ability to dictate to the masses and think they can ration out rights and privileges to women and minorities'..
They cry discrimination against white men, because they no longer have "white male privilege to have first option and first accessibility to anything and everything" and they cry discrimination against white men, because society will no longer accept or submit to white men dictating and controlling who can participate in employment, opportunity and political positions". They cry discrimination against white men, because women no longer will accept being "his possession" and she is today, demanding "equality in all things", and the right to "love whom ever she wants".
These are the same white men, who today, are angered because women no longer accept being abused and used as sex objects and now can use the law to call out and punish these white men with and those without money, who think they have some given right as white men to treat women as a "service provider of pleasure" at his beck and call.

Yes moron, even then.

So why call out this journalist then? You seem to think he is an enemy, but according to you, journalists just should just not be called out ever...almost like they're a "privileged class" or something.
 
Well yeah, it’s Alabama, the land of good ole’ boys, outside toilets, and houses on wheels.

The greatest harm Trump has done to this nation is giving license to the deplorable vermin to come out from under their rocks and stand upright and walk like humans among the rest of us. We see it over and over again - this being simply the latest manifestation of the ugliness.
 
These again are the same white men who can't digest the element of "equality"... so he detest that he has to compete with women for jobs, based on equality and competency, he truly detest that he has to compete with minorities on "equality and competency" and he tries to push outrage, becasue he can't dictate who gets and opportunity and who does not, based on his racial and gender bias mentality of race and gender prejudices".

Today... no longer can he use his money to think himself to be exempt from prosecution when he "sexually abuses women", we see it on the wealthy saturated university campuses, of the young men, continually thinking themselves as being "ENTITLED" to encroach upon any "female" that catches his eye. and the thought that if she is economically poor, that he has a unspoken right to use her as a "service provider of pleasure, whom he can discard like a empty candy wrapper".. We see them in "court" pretending and claiming to be so upstanding, while the evidence continues to demonstrated his biased and bigoted groomed in mentality that he has a right to the sexual pleasure of any female he deems his interest to encroach upon; and how dare she object.

This is straight out of the Antebellum history, of seeing women as nothing more than a possession and a machine of pleasure that can produce and heir. who can be bought fully, by his usage of money to give her shelled and money to go shopping.... and the delusion that she can have status, as long as she is his possession, as long as she treats him like he is "master over her".

Yes... the fight we see in public and in the political arena of the right wing conservative agenda is a fight to try and preserve and conserve this ideology and the want to continue thrusting it upon the American society.

This history of living and enacting such power over women and society in general and the control to regulate who gets economic uplift... is a fight that is played out each day, by the same premise and principle, that "none relinquish power willingly".... so they fight like a wild savage beast trying to control, sustain and re constitute that power over society, its women, and its minorities and its economic and political systems.



How dare any minority complain about the economic devastation he thrust upon them and how dare they complain about the denial of them using the investment banking systems as a means to build up their communities and their lives. How dare them, to complain about wage, when they have been historically used not only as slaves, but as if they were serf who are beholding to the wealthy masters.... who control them to remain being relegated to the economic status of the poor.
How dare the poor want access to go to places the wealthy go, and how dare them think they should have access to the systems of education that was designed for the wealthy, by the wealthy, to teach the wealthy how to keep the money in the hands of the wealthy, and how to keep the masses contained into subservience... by keeping them ignorant and uneducated.

We are wittnessing by living within the reality and life process of the downfall of "white nationalist white male dominance"... and they are fighting like wild savage trying to hold on to it.... They care nothing of American Democracy... they care for and of "white nationalist white male dominance"... and they will use any means to try and hold on to it. Including bonding with any Foreign Adversary of white dominated nations, like Russia, if they think Russia can help them hold their grip of white nationalism of white male dominance.

It was never going to be pretty nor was it going to be without contentions and challenges, vile and malice in the ways they will fight to try and cling to white nationalism of white male dominance, It was never going to be respectful of democracy nor the principles of democracy, in how the process of the down fall of "white nationalism of white male dominance was and is to be rid from American Democracy and the American Society....
This goes all the way back to the white nationalist of white male dominance, once tried to claim the United State Constitution was ONLY for white males. It was the system that white males did not allow women to vote, and considered minority black people as 3/5 of a person, only for the sake of the white males to use them to give himself the ability to have the power of more than one vote.
Society today... will not accept any more of the "white nationalism of white male dominance, as being the controller and the system to ration out rights and privileges to women and the mass of non white society.
 
"They" (the white nationalist of white male male domiance programmed minions)!!! will rush to try and bury this thread... because facing its facts and exposure of truth(s) that have long been denied, fought against and the acts and efforts to try and cover over such truths by every means one could conjure up.... They "run"... hoping that it goes away, and with a dire hope that the poor whites or the right winger brigade of minions don't become "aware" and "awakened'....

When they can't send out their attack squad because the attack squad can't make the truth go away... they flee... like the true cowards of avarice driven madness they truly are.

Today, we see the political field filled with people who are now addressing all these matters, and exposing and standing up against the malice of madness that has long been promoted by white nationalist white male dominance agenda.... The TRUTH(S) can't be "silenced" !!!!

Now.. that society's multicultural people have gained voice, and the liberal minded whites are no longer afraid of the right wing conservative idealist who want to prolong and reinvigorate this bias and bigotry... Today, the liberal minded whites, both male and female... no longer fear the retribution that the right wing , bigots and racist once subjected them to.... is today, standing up and speaking up. Women are standing up and speaking up and will not accept being the possession she was treated as in the past... and she is no longer waiting on "white men" to ration out rights to her.... and she is no longer standing on the side allowing white men to create and dictate political policy over her and over minorities... The "right wing white male who want to conserve that madness" are furious.... Their attitudes today is "' how dare women and minorities to tell me that I can't control what I have a history of controlling" !!! Their attitude is how dare women to stand up and "deny me the right to use her for sex any way I want, and how dare women to not submit to my money and my title, and submit to me using her as a sex toy of pleasure when I want to, any way I want to, and to go sit down and get out of my way when I'm finished and done with her.
The various groups of minorities won't be silence, no longer can the system of using the "police" to promote the agenda of white nationalist white male domiance and use them to attack any who challenge the white nationalist white male Domitian programming. As today... the video is exposing it all to the entire world.
They ways that police were used during segregation to contain and control minorities and to be of usage to 'put pressure and threat upon liberal whites... is no longer something that society will accept.

Today, the police departments are being reformed across America.... to root out the bias, the bigoted, and the supporters and upholders of white nationalist white male dominance programming... Today... we see them "getting jail sentences" for their groomed in historical conduct of being an extension of white nationalists programming.

We see the political arena of the Democratic and Liberal Population and its leaders who are standing up and speaking out, in exposing every act of vile and malice that has been engaged to prolong the dominance of white nationalist white male dominance.
 
Freedom of the press doesn't grant you the right to incite violence against political opponents like freedom of speech doesn't grant you permission to shout fire in a crowded theater.

The shouting fire thing was overturned in 1969.

The idea of falsely shouting "fire" in a crowded theater arose from the Supreme Court’s 1919 decision in the case Schenck v. United States. The Court ruled unanimously that the First Amendment, though it protects freedom of expression, does not protect dangerous speech. In the decision, Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote that no free speech safeguard would cover someone "falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic."

Yet Brandenburg claimed the First Amendment protected his speech. His appeal reached the Supreme Court, and the Court agreed with him, in contrast with the earlier Schenck decision. Advocacy, even when it encourages law-breaking, helps the marketplace of ideas, ruled the Court. Had Brandenburg instructed followers to commit a specific crime, he’d have committed a number of offenses himself. But the First Amendment protects speech that merely advocates general, indefinite illegal action.

With that ruling, the Court overturned the Schenck decision that had introduced "shouting fire in a crowded theater." No longer was "clear and present danger" a sufficient standard for criminalizing speech. To break the law, speech now had to incite "imminent lawless action."
