Tuscaloosa, AL – Glossy News – In what legal scholars are calling a possibly precedent changing landmark case, the KKK this week launched a challenge against organizations that “think they can out-hate [their] white agenda,” according to a brief filed in the 4th District Federal Court. The KKK lawsuit, in partnership with the ever-helpful ACLU, seeks a bold new definition of free speech.
At issue is whether people having negative reactions to constitutionally protected speech, as offensive as it may be, somehow constrains the freedoms of the lunatic fringe of the first part in the first place. While the math may seem confusing, the counting of teeth in the endeavor seems markedly less-so.
The complex legal filing has its nexus in a very unlikely place. In this sleepy Midwestern town, most inhabitants didn’t even know the Ku Klux Klan had a radio station operating so near. Though never enjoying much of a broadcast audience, WKKK seems to have a strong internet presence, via links to several Aryan Pride Enthusiast websites.
WKKK is by all accounts quite popular with the APE community. The programming format consists largely of classic Southern rock, except no Allman Brothers Band, because they had a colored drummer. After each block of songs, and the commercials for regional gun shows, the DJ says, “N-word n-word n-word n-word n-word n-word n-word n-word n-word n-word n-word.”
All went well until local real estate agent Claude Hammer was fiddling with the lower end of the AM spectrum in his 1998 Ford F-150 truck, and then all Hell broke loose.
Mr. Hammer made several angry phone calls to WKKK, implying in very judgmental language that White supremacists are not helpful to the United States. Glossy News has obtained a transcript of Claude Hammer’s first statement.
“Nothing but a bunch of pencil necked repressed homosexuals who contribute little more to this nation than serving as example of what the rest of us shouldn’t be like.”
Obviously, Mr. Hammer’s remarks were quite hurtful. Now the KKK and ACLU are pressing this legal challenge for a clearer definition of free speech. If you say things, when somebody disagrees with what you said, are they infringing on your free speech rights, or are they simply exercising their free speech rights?
Dr. Laura Schlessinger could not be reached for personal comment, but Glossy News was assured by her publicist that personal photos would soon be available online.
I appreciate the attempt to shield me from possible death threats.
