   I believe that if there was a huge counterdemonstration at the KKK
   rally, then the Klan organizaers would be tickled pink.  Reason: the
   Klan, according to the Grand Wizard that presided over the Colorado
   Klan rallies that received the national press attention said that they
   wanted to show the rest of the world that they were not the militant
   ones in this society.  Rather, it was those groups that fostered these
   movements to keep all alternate groups silent.  They want people to
   come and make noise and shout and even fight against them.

If this is true, then the most promising course of action to achieve this
would be for the KKK to have some of its own members pose as
organizers of counterdemonstrations.

   My questions is: Why play into their hands?  If everyone would simply
   ignore them as they do the political condidates running for affice,
   the Klan would disappear into oblivion as do these political
   wannabees.

If everyone realized this, the possibility I described above could still lead
to national media attention. In other words, they don't need us.
