I can't fathom a place/time or a situation where bragging about being associated with KKK could be considered bragging. Am I just daft? This you and I agree on but some people crave attention and he wouldn’t be the only person who ever thought it was a good idea

Hugo Black, the SC Justice the federal building is named after, was a “member” of the klan. He also renounced his membership (which he had to have to get elected in Alabama) long before he was appointed to the court and was in fact a fairly liberal justice. But, the point is true. There was a time in the 1920-30s that if you wanted to be successful in politics you had to be a member.

In March of 1991 I was tasked with handing out and training locals in the use of small arms and light crew served weapons in the Shia areas of the swamplands of southern Iraq. I did not enjoy any part of this work as the locals really were horrible people. We were at first assured their would be no intervention by the baathist's. A few days later we were hung out to dry and had to hump for weeks with no support to find government positions that were not under heavy air fire from the same idiots they swore would be suppressed. We were run into the water by every kind of fire that could be mounted on slow and fast movers. The air conditioned force would chase the fast movers around a bit if they saw them but the rotary wing aircraft (mostly our old stuff) would hound us day and night with chain guns/.50/rockets and antitank missiles.
One of the 6 persons who had my 6 and saved my life more than once in the following weeks was a young man of color who had a lily white wife and a whole passel of mixed children. He had to move three times to keep his family safe in the ten years we worked together.

He actually did some good going against the KKK as a US attorney. Thats completely not true, that whole trial was a sham and a publicity stunt. Exactly. Doug got his face on the news every night which was the primary goal of that trial. So you are also ok with the kkk? Great reading comprehension Geno. Please show me where in my post I advocated for the kkk. I remember the trial and everyone knew Dougie was pursuing this for political points and build his name. Same thing Alice Martin did when she went after Scrushy when everyone advised her to get the case to a different jurisdiction. Didn't work so well for Alice...

So building your name against the KKK is not a good thing. Got it. Thanks for tuning up my reading comprehension. I was lacking until you came along and clarified everything.

Character matters. He should have called Doug then. I bet he’d of dropped everything he was doing to stop that kind of racism. Lord, who could imagine having to move three times? Did the evil folks chase him across state lines? What are you trying to portray with your story here?

Character matters and you just sank to Doug's level if not lower. That the KKK would have been perfectly ok with a local army captain's daughter making a family with a person who was black as the ace of spades. And............. that a person who was black as the ace of spades was of FAR BETTER character than the vast majority of human beings I currently know. The triple "so called knights" of dishonor would have killed the man who saved my life. Another sad stain on our history.

There are worse, much much worse, choices for AG than Jones.
Stacey Abrams comes to mind and her name has been mentioned for the job. I didn't even know she is a lawyer.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Character matters. Funny, I have 2 business partners that happen to be black and married to white women, both say they have way more trouble with blacks than they do whites. Probably shouldn’t post the truth though, that doesn’t fit Geno’s Democrat narrative. It’s probably just because my partners are conservative racist.

So - Let me in on the secret - how was the KKK being brought down a bad thing again?
I'll add this, Geno. The big problem I currently see is that many on the left equate any white person who opposes liberal ideologies as modern KKK. The clan was despicable then, and racism is despicable today. That isn't up for debate. The choice of highlighting "I fought the KKK" is meant, IMHO, to communicate "I'll fight white conservatives" in 2020 lingo.
