What Fucking Century is This?

Oh, that's sweet: the Ku Klux Klan distributed flyers throughout Louisville, Kentucky, including my parents' freaking driveway, as part of a membership drive.
Honestly, we're quickly approaching rolling back the Enlightment.
Posted by: petrilli on December 19, 2004 5:17 PM | permalinkCan you enlighten me on how the KKK got the fliers in the papers without the papers' knowledge? Maybe I skimmed over the article too quickly to follow the logic.
Also, who is this Bernard Faller they are quoting? Some local guy?

2) Ho yes.

Posted by: Rutter on December 20, 2004 9:48 AM | permalinkPer Max's question, the article says that they used various old publications and stuck the flyer inside to give enough "heft" to fling onto driveways. Looks like they raided the recycling bin and created a fake paper for driveways.
