Glenn Beck’s pseudo-news site The Blaze posted an article about the Ku Klux Klan rally in South Carolina, and it’s boring.

But the comments! A cornucopia of right wing insanity, coming atcha from all angles! The Klan are Democrats! Nazis are liberal socialists! Blacks are the real racists! It’s a false flag, funded by George Soros! Staged by Democrat operatives! The liberal media blames us whites for everything! And the Klan are right, by the way! But they’re Democrats, so they’re evil! Except they’re not evil, they’re the only ones standing up against the racist liberal media and the racist negroes! And La Raza! Don’t forget La Raza!

I wish I were exaggerating. Here’s a small selection of the insanity, presented for your bemusement.

The difference is Proud White People have no need to shout ‘White Power’ ! We are White and have the power ! I guess negroes just constantly find need to remind themselves of whatever black power is suppose to be,or whatever they perceive it to be ! The liberal media is always blaming Whites for every problem negroes have or ever will have. I remember a few years back Brotha Sharpton demanded that negroes be treated with ‘respect and dignity’ ! Yeah right ! You don’t get treated with ‘respect and dignity’because you’re a *****,thats something that’s earned.What negroes need to do is learn to function in a civilized society. In about a year and half we will have a White President again and all this nonsense will end with that race baiting Muslim out of the White House and back in Kenya working on his Presidential Library !

Yes because the left is the part of the political spectrum supporting the Confederate flag and the KKK

[…]

Nazis are socialists…..left wing bottom-side

[…]

If this is acceptable, “Black power!”, then why not this, “White power?” Maybe it’s black privilege that’s the problem.

[…]

I watched both rallies live. 99% of everyone their were Racists! All DemocRats! A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.”

Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school — all to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites.

[…]

Ain’t that sumthin, both the kkk and the nbp have some deep roots
in the democratic party, i bet if they they threw a Bar-b-q with ribs,
chicken, potato salad, with some biscuit’s and a little white gravy
these two groups might get along better then having mega-phones
and rocks so handy, at least until they ran out of beer.

[…]

Both groups are racist organizations. But this is probably being staged by Democrat operatives to stir up racial hate and to smear the south. Yes the democrat party was and still is the party of slavery and the KKK. The modern day Democrat party intends to enslave all Free Americans regardless of race. It’s the communist Fascist way .

[…]

The first annual Democrat intramural games.

[…]

Obama- “Excellent.” Next step, martial law.

The klan rose up to suppress the Republican vote through voter intimidation using the noose thousands of times and using the burning cross. They were a wing of the Democrat party, just as I believe they are now. They only seem to show up to provide a visual aid for the Democrat narrative when elections are near or when Republicans have momentum towards shrinking government, which Democrats say is racist because Democrats say that everything against their collectivist agenda is racist! David Duke and the klan have been silent through the Obama years. Interesting, huh? Elections are coming though. ……
The panthers are a wing of the Democrat party too. It would not surprise me if all of the klan and panther members rode in on buses paid for by labor unions!

[…]

They have to have a strong law enforcement presence at events like this. That’s done to keep the negroes from doing anything really stupid and getting hurt or arrested. (Law enforcement knows if negroes get into trouble they will yell racism,and Brotha Sharpton will be harassing people in your town the next day,trying to speak english but never able to pull it off. He likes to speak in that old days Mammy ***** dialect.)The negroes can’t breathe,black lives matter,they like to hold their hands up as to an imaginary arrest,etc.,,etc. they like to wear black tee shirts with these and other such ridiculous statements on them. I’m no fan of the KKK,but it’s good to know they won’t get accused of something that never happened. Trust,but verify !

[…]

everyone laughs at the klan, but back in the day they said the negroes will cause more trouble as time goes by!!
i listened to a taped klan recording of a rally circa 1960s…ill be damned if the person speaking wasnt prophet!

EVERYTHING he said was 100% accurate!….

[…]

The Instigator in Chief could not be more pleased

[…]

0 has that huge monkey grin, running thru the rainbow house high-fivin’ everyone!!

[…]

I would not be surprised if both groups were paid by George Soros. Are these really KKK members? And just because the other ones say they are Black Panthers do we really know? Easy to put on a costume. At this point they will do anything to destroy this country. These could be agent provocatuers meant to push the globalists agenda for a race war; and the collapse of America.

[…]

If this spreads it’ll be the straw. White people beaten to death by groups of black people. Groups of whites shooting every black they see. War in the streets. Martial law over the nation.

There are many more comments in this vein, and some are much worse — raving paranoid insanity and denials of racism, right next to absolutely overt racism. And these are just from the first two pages in the comment thread.

It’s no wonder someone like Donald Trump is doing so well in the polls. After years of incitement and dog-whistle racism by Fox News and right wing blogs and news sites, the right wing base is completely deranged. Certifiable.
