A former head of the KKK is dead -- too bad it is of natural causes.
Former Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard Samuel H. Bowers, who was convicted eight years ago of ordering the 1966 bombing death of a civil rights leader, died Sunday in a state penitentiary, officials said. He was 82.He died of cardio pulmonary arrest, said Mississippi Department of Corrections spokeswoman Tara Booth.
Bowers was convicted in August 1998 of ordering the assassination of Vernon Dahmer Sr., a civil rights activist who had fought for black rights during Mississippi's turbulent struggle for racial equality. He was sentenced to life in prison.
"He was supposed to stay there until he died. I guess he fulfilled that," Dahmer's widow, Ellie Dahmer, told The Associated Press on Sunday. "He lived a lot longer than Vernon Dahmer did."
Booth said that the Klansman died at approximately 11:30 a.m. in the Mississippi State Penitentiary Hospital in Parchman, a sprawling prison carved out of the cotton and soybean fields in the impoverished Mississippi Delta.
Here's hoping that not even Bowers' family mourns this creep's death -- though I'm sure that I'll hear from at least one of his fans on this site.

Comments on The World Is A Cleaner Place
This might sound a little strange coming from me, a strong law and order type. I caught this line from the movie, The Green Mile, teaching me the need to find closure, even with creeps and murderers. The scene had the prison guards taking care of a man who'd just been electocuted for his crime and the guard was able to communicate the idea that he, the prisoner, had served out his sentence and paid his debt to society; that the books were now even and to treat the corpse with the dignity it deserved. It made for a very compelling thought process, one that I had not considered until viewing the movie. It is not for us to decide the eternal state of anyone, that is reserved for the Lord alone.

Meredith went on to promote black nationalism, while working for both Jesse Helms and David Duke.

Most of the Klans in the South in the 1960s were pretty rough-hewn ,utlized as the strong arm of the refined Citizens Councils. But even in the gruffest, unlettered Klan literature resounded a rudimentary truth, if stated with too much venon.
The fact that Groggy's party has surrendered on affirmative action reflects the truth of the anti-White dynamics which now prevail in America as predicted then by the crudest, should Tradition be eradicated.

|| Posted by Rhymes With Right, November 8, 2006 08:38 AM ||No, you espouse race-hatred in the form of Zionism's Arabophobic slaughter, as happened today
|| Posted by Ken Hoop, November 8, 2006 07:39 PM ||I espouse the right of the Jewish people to live in the land that God gave them, free from terrorist attacks by jihadi terrorists.
|| Posted by Rhymes With Right, November 8, 2006 08:55 PM ||If opposing the murder of innocent men women and children by jihadis constitutes race hatred in your book, then that shows what a shrivelled blackened mass your evil sould has become.
And KKKen, please note that it is contempt for cowardly murderers, not fear or hatred of Arabs that motivates me. Jew-hatred is clearly what propels you and most opponents of Israel -- whether they are Arab or not.
