Really Odd Bedfellows
Although it's April Fool's Day, I don't think this is a joke. I found this news article in today's Sacramento Bee.
About 10 members of the Ku Klux Klan crashed a rally organized by the anti-illegal immigration group the Minuteman Project Saturday, police said.
Wearing black T-shirts with the KKK insignia, their faces covered with bandanas and sunglasses, the group chanted and waved American flags.
Minuteman Project spokesman Raymond Herrera said his group of about 40 decided to leave when the Klan members showed up. He said the group did not invite the racist organization to join the rally and would no longer post the dates of its rallies on the Web.
What? The big, brave Minutemen cut and run at the first sign of some unwelcome visitors? Apparently so. Here's the real money quote, though:
"We don't approve of standing anywhere near the KKK - they're not with us," said Herrera, a Mexican-American from Victorville. "We're a multiethnic group. We don't believe in racism, and when the Nazis show up we cancel the rallies immediately. We do not intermingle and we do not believe in their philosophy."
Yeah, right, Mr. Herrera.
[Note: I will, however, be checking the SacBee tomorrow to see if the story is legit. Some things are just too funny to be true]
