thistlechaserKu Klux Klan Says It Doesn't Condone Tea Party, Koran Burning, or Westboro Baptist Church's actions.
My first reaction was to worry about actually agreeing with the KKK on something, but in truth we all agree with them on a whole lot of things: It's good to have air to breathe, rotten food is worse than non-rotten, no one should be killed based solely on the color of their skin-- Oh wait, strike that last one.
On the Tea Party:
"Our Associates, members and supporters are here officially ordered: NOT to attend Tea Party events or support them in ANY way," writes the Klan. "The Tea Party does not represent any but a shallow limited political agenda, which fails to serve our Nations interests."
Part of me worries they don't officially support the Tea Party to make the tea baggers look better (if the KKK doesn't support them then clearly they can't really be nothing more than a bunch of racists!), but I'm probably giving them more credit than they deserve.

I just hope no innocent folks from Kansas got stuck! (I suppose most would have rental cars with local plates, so it was probably okay.)
