In a document released today, Anonymous identified sitting US Senators Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, Dan Coats and Johnny Isakson as members of the KKK. Anonymous also lists several mayors of major US cities. Mainstream news outlets are slow to jump on this story, probably for fear of being sued back into the Stone Age, but it's worth noting that Anonymous, like them or not, hasn't been shown to be making things up with their major info dumps in the past.
So, if the Senators mentioned above are, in fact, outed KKK members, what fate should await them? Should they be forced to resign, even impeached, or is the decision to belong to a known terror and hate group a personal one? Should Cornyn be allowed to remain the Senate Majority Whip? How can they come out strongly against Al Qaeda and radical Islam if they are, in fact, members of a radical hate group that's been responsible for committing countless hate crimes and acts of terror against people of different races?
If these are accurate, it should be an interesting few weeks for some very prominent politicians.
Lets see where the facts leas us
Yeah... I don't believe it.
Doesn't seem plausible to me.

I don't know that I would call the current or recent KKK a "terrorist group". Hate group? That's all a matter of perspective and opinion. I do not in any way condone or agree with what the KKK is and what they believe, but they are allowed to practice their beliefs freely. It's kind of along the lines of Westboro Baptist Church and their beliefs/conduct.
Contrary to belief, the KKK is not what it was in the 1800's or the early 1900's.
Isakson was allegedly seen at a white sale at KKKMart back in the day. He's a tough character, I wouldn't cross him, especially if he's 3 sheets to the wind.
It's not an illegal organization is it? So firing them would be no different than firing a minority if they were an activist for ,say, the Black Panthers.
Voters should decide if that's who they want, if in fact, they are tied to these " exclusive clubs"
But hey, I've read that Bernie is a socialist nazi... No one is trying to oust him.
If the KKK is now accepting gay members, things have changed.

They're running out of straight people that hate black people (and immigrants, Jews, etc.)?
As a straight guy, I find this really encouraging.
This will make a few headlines, some idiots will read them and believe them, then the facts will come out and it will be proven entirely false. The damage will be done though.

Actually, what typically happens with these Anonymous info dumps is that there are lots of strong rebukes, then a person or five decide to damage control it by publicly owning/apologizing for something they did "a long time ago" or "in a momentary lapse of judgment". Once a few have admitted to being KKK members, the veracity of the whole dump suddenly looks a whole lot better. Not saying that all these people are KKK members, but if history is any indicator, Anonymous has gotten a lot of those names right.
In this day and age it's hard to believe anyone that had any kind of political aspirations would join such a group.
1. There's nothing Christian about the kkk
2. Anyone associated with them is going to quickly lose in an primary or challenge so it's a self correcting problem.
3 so long as their information is accurate go anon. The problem with the anon organization is so many different people or groups try to claim they are apart of anon.
The KKK is a hate group, and so is the WBC.
Wouldn't really surprise me if there weren't senators, police officers, etc... that were members of the KKK. What would be shocking is if any of them owned up to it. Would be great if anon would release accurate information on all sorts of sordid senate secrets. They've let the NSA spy on us, they should be willing to have information released about them. Especially if they're in favor of NSA spying. Just my two cents.

How many black churches were burned down in SC after that psycho shot all those people in that church in Charleston? If I had to guess who was responsible for what could be considered focused attacks, I would guess that it was the KKK. I would say what they do could be considered terrorism for black people in some communities. Not your traditional definition though.. supposedly they're Christian and they adopt highways.

There is nothing Christian about any hate group. Adopt all the highways they want, give to charities, whatever.... but Christian they are not. They may say they are and actually believe it, but they are not. The KKK is about as Christian as WBC.
I agree they could be considered a terrorist organization against blacks, Jews, etc., since their objective is to maim/destroy/kill/terrorize them. But as a terror organization in general, not so much.

So they're only a terror movement if you're not a white Christian. Do I have that logic just about right?
By that logic, ISIS is only a terror group if you're not Islamic.

I see what you're saying.
By definition a terrorist is one who terrorizes or frightens others. Terrorism is the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
Both the KKK and ISIS are terrorist groups. Just because they are a threat only to specific people or groups of people doesn't mean they're not terrorists, they only are against those groups they take issue with.
I guess my original thought was the KKK is not a threat to the general population like ISIS or al-Qaeda. But in reality they are because America is a very diverse country.

Thanks for clarifying. I get what you're saying and agree.
I would never argue that the KKK is on the same level of ISIS. The modern-day Klan burns crosses and stages rallies, whereas ISIS operatives blow themselves up in town square. The underlying message is the same, though: "I hate you, I am superior to you, and I will use whatever means I deem necessary to make you do what I want you to."

Hmmmmm, sounds like we need to reclassify our Leftist and Socialist friends as terrorist groups then.

Not sure about you, but I haven't seen anyone burning any elephants lately.
