OXFORD, Miss. -- About a dozen hooded Ku Klux Klan members rallied briefly at the University of Mississippi before Saturday's football game with No. 10 LSU.
The members of the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan spent about 10 minutes waving flags, displaying Nazi-style salutes and occasionally gesturing at a group of about 250 hecklers that included young children. They were protesting the school's decision to drop a pep song that included "Dixie."
Some fans had been ending the song by chanting, "The South will rise again." Chancellor Dan Jones asked the band to stop playing the song after fans ignored a request to drop the chant.
The Klan said it was protesting over lost Southern symbolism at Ole Miss, which has been rocked by racial strife before.

So, only 12 Republicans decided to show up???
only take one to do the job.
charlie I'm a republican and BOOOOOOO on you and the kkk. You both have bigoted minds. How sad...
If the Klan had pulled guns and started shooting the hecklers while yelling "God is great", would JohnHatesAmericaCain written ad nauseam about the right of free speech and the respect we owe the peaceful movement of the Klan? I guess the extreme racism and violence is reserved for Americas enemies.
charliemanson, your name says it all about your perspective. May you continue to rot in prison, typical Dem.
Isn't Robert Byrd getting too old for this stuff? The robes are no scarier than the hooded jackets covering the head and face that so many wear right out in public.
A hoodie is a hoodie.
We still have KKK? Thought they had Gone With The Wind,, I wonder if they would ride down Lumpkin Rd a few times..Dixieland I miss you..
the kkk? lmao.
The others knew that images would be made and their closet beliefs exposed, but no one should be surprised. This American history for all to see,,,
I didn't know the KKK was still in exsistence??? Does anyone even take them seriously anymore???
jason..It appears that justus takes them seriously, he sees things differently than most.
Hey johnston! Don't blame charliemanson, you Pubs did it to YOURSELVES! live with it.
Amazingly Johnston condemned a poster not the KKK. Lets see, APEX, IRISH,BETTYBOOP,JACK,LOLO JEANS,JOHNSTON,WP,SOUTHERNGUY,CONVERTED,CONFERERATE AMERICAN, a flag carrier and a poo-per scooper to follow behind. Is that ....Naw. They said Mississippi. My badd!!!!!!!!!
How is this any different than the New Black Panthers marching in the streets?
If you wear a mask to protest you are a coward.
The saddest part is that the media bothers to put this crap in the paper.
Hey,wordpass, did what?
ispy, that sure is a lot of capital letters. What does you post (11:52) mean?
It was a roll call. Then I realized that it was in Mississippi and not Augusta's chapter.

ispy, you assign ownership to people who disagree with you but ignore the Grand Wizard Robert Byrd. Typical Dem. Your party loves you.
WHY are you folks ok with ARMED black panthers standing over voting booths and against UNARMED kkk voicing their OPINION in a PEACEFUL manner?
wizzard - It's just not something they understand any longer. MLK was the last one to hold peaceful protests that gained worldwide coverage and got his message out like these Klansmen did.
ispy;please defend black panthers standing over voting booths with shotguns.your posts seem to advocate blacks FORCING their opinion and condemn whites VOICING theirs.
Who said that I agreed with the Black Panthers. This article was about the KKK. Print one about the Black Panthers and I will be against them . WIZZARD you can march all day long and it will not bother me. My thing is the Black Panthers, as far as I know do not wear hoods or masks. Why do the KKK wear them?
It is a COSTUME.I don't see you saying ANYTHING about what the ARMED black panthers were wearing while standing over voting booths.WHAT do clothes have to do with anything?
What would intimidate you more-a mask OR a shotgun?
ispy;please answer-mask OR shotgun
I answered your question-WHY will you not answer mine?
