After flyers appeared in Mt. Sterling and Paris appearing to promote services from the KKK, the same flyers have been found in Corbin.

    A spokesperson for Corbin Police said officials are not sure if flyers are being distributed by the KKK or if someone is printing them off the internet to stir up trouble.

    If you’re doing work for the KKK, that means you’re in it!

    The effect is the same to the people being intimidated whether you’ve paid your dues or not.

    Wait, what if this is just a massive misunderstanding?

    It could be the Kentucky Konnected Kommunity? A service that just happens to share the same unfortunate… Wait no, it’s just a bunch of backwards racist snowflakes? Oh well.

    We all know that their browser history is completely full of jungle fever. I hope some day they embrace it fully.

      There’s a Kathy’s Kountry Kitchen in Waterloo, Indiana. They know exactly what that means. Don’t try to eat there if you aren’t white.

        Everyone thought it could have been an honest mistake. After all, she was home schooled. But then, they found out her name is actually Margaret.

      And lots of trans porn! Like more than any other demographic. I’ve known some shitty hick bums whose computers I’ve fixed. Every single one of them is into porn that would make Daisy Taylor blush.

        Well, at least we know they aren’t worried about what’s below the belt. That’s a good thing, showes they’re adaptable.

          Oh yeah haha, if only they didn’t spout off the most vile homophobic and transphobic shit in public. I’ve exposed a few folks because they went on hateful rants on Facebook back in the day. Not very ethical on my behalf, but when dealing with bigots, nothing is off limits.

    The KKK. Grew up around them. Smokers, drinkers, drug users, sexual deviants etc. Low class people with nothing good to offer society. AKA Human shit.

      I’m not sure if it was an accident, but you make an excellent point juxtaposing classism with racism.

    From this article about the arrests:

    On Thursday, TN Rep. Scott Cepicky (R-Culleoka), issued the following statement in response to reports of racist propaganda and criminal trespassing being reported in Maury County.

    “I am deeply disturbed by the vile actions of outsiders who have attempted to intimidate and threaten members of our community. This group does not represent Maury County nor the shared values that bring us together. Racism is a repulsive ideology that we will not tolerate. Next session, I will draft legislation to increase punishment for criminal trespassing as well as hate crimes in Tennessee. I strongly encourage anyone with information about these events to contact the Columbia Police Department.”

    That’s possibly the most un-Republican response to an event like this that I’ve ever seen. This guy is going to get branded a RINO and lose his seat if he’s not careful. ;-)
