Earlier this month Travis Pierce, our Natonal Membership Dir. participated in a discussion on the internet blog/show called “Center Stage“. Center Stage is hosted by Kheri Hines.
The show was 2 hours long, this show also featured Johnny Clarey activist and former klansman turned preacher and a representative of the Texas NAACP so the left wing had 2 speakers opposed to Travis, it was a ratio contrived to be sure their message was clear and to minimalize our position. Mr. Clarey ranted loudly even drowning out the NAACP spokesman, with hateful vitriolic language and name calling that would have made Adolph Hitler blush. Mr. Clarey followed the Allinsky plan perfectly with unfounded accusations and refusing to accept any solutions offered by the Klan.
Ms. Hines show was put on Facebook, the popular social network site so they can reach a broad spectrum of young people. Now Facebook has removed the broadcast stating :
