Newspaper Calls For KKK to Block Tax Increases In Alabama

Publisher Goodloe Sutton

A small town newspaper in Alabama published an editorial last week that called for the return of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) to block tax increases in the state.

The editorial was published on Thursday and Goodloe Sutton, publisher of the Democrat-Reporter newspaper in Linden, Ala., confirmed Monday that he wrote the column.

Sutton writes that Democrats "do not understand how to eliminate expenses when money is needed in other areas."

"This socialist-communist ideology sounds good to the ignorant, the uneducated, and the simple-minded people," he added.

He defended himself by saying he was “not calling for the lynchings of Americans.”

“These are socialist-communists we're talking about,” Sutton said.
