::that is an appropriate criticism about some other article, such as one on Center for the Study of Popular Culture. but their KKK coverage has not been challenged to my knowledge. We must watch out for moral relativism here--evil institutions like the KKK deserve exposure of the sort SPLC has provided for decades. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 23:18, 9 November 2009 (EST)

:::Are you familiar with the Wilcox Report? Wilcox, who publishes an annual guide to the Extreme Left aqnd Right [http://www.questia.com/library/book/nazis-communists-klansmen-and-others-on-the-fringe-political-extremism-in-america-by-john-george-laird-wilcox.jsp] claims SPLC grossly inflates the number of Klan groups for fundraising, and mainstream sources do not question thier figures. I can send you a copy of it if you'd like. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 23:45, 9 November 2009 (EST)

::thanks for the tip, I'll check it out. What it does well is give a very useful digest of news reports of all KKK activities.[[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 00:09, 10 November 2009 (EST)

...in terms of oppsing Fedral policies--my bad, I misread the Prohibition thing. But the article certainly undersells activities like the lynching of returning black servicemen and the Leo Frank case. Is there a reason for that? [[User:MichaelHWC|MichaelHWC]] 23:24, 9 November 2009 (EST)
