A small town Alabama newspaper publisher has written an editorial calling for the Ku Klux Klan to ‘ride again,’ according to a new report in the Montgomery Advertiser.

Goodloe Sutton, the publisher of the Democrat-Reporter newspaper in Linden, Alabama said, “If we could get the Klan to go up there and clean out D.C., we’d all been better off... We’ll get the hemp ropes out, loop them over a tall limb and hang all of them... [it's] time for the Ku Klux Klan to night ride again.”

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."  James A. Baldwin
