ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's highest court has ruled that the Ku Klux Klan's lawsuit over its bid to 'adopt' a highway can continue.
In a unanimous decision announced Tuesday, the Supreme Court of Georgia dismissed the state's appeal of a lower court ruling. Court officials say the Georgia Department of Transportation failed to follow the correct procedures in filing its appeal.
But I do have a question. Do terrorist organizations deserve them and, if not, then what defines a terrorist group?
Well a terrorist group would be criminals, so no.
Criminals have rights too, though.
Except generally that right is limited and in the case of a terrorist organization their free speech is limited for the safety and security of society as a whole who you do you think ISIS propaganda should be protected?
At what point did you decide I thought all rights are infinite?
The old KKK (when they were the militant branch of the democratic party) would meet the definition of a terrorist group.Are you saying the KKK is a terrorist group? Because I see them more as a hate group than a terrorist group (at least in it's current incarnation).
So the KKK suit against the state of Georgia gets to continue, as that organization is vying for the right to have it's own sign on Georgia roads.
And to those of you who believe that the ACLU is a liberal organization, they are the ones who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the KKK. And it's not the first time they have helped the KKK. Remember Skokie, Illinois, in which the Klan was allowed to march through the Jewish section of the city?
Moral of the story? Yes, even douche bags have First Amendment rights. But I do have a question. Do terrorist organizations deserve them and, if not, then what defines a terrorist group?

The current KKK appears to mostly be just a hate group, who spread their vitriol to whomever is stupid enough to listen.

I am glad they are reduced to a joke line, when I was a kid in Louisiana,Yep. That's what I was referencing.
Yep. But they do make for a fun time on Jerry Springer:
Same, they haven't been terrorists in decades.
In my experience, I always have to remind people that when they get into a KKK rant lol.

But the KKK still commits terrorist acts. Here in Texas, there are 2 KKK members on death row for dragging a black man to death behind their pickup truck. So I do not regard them as funny. The KKK is every bit as terrorist as ISIS. The only difference is that America has a better legal system than the Middle East. If not for that, the KKK would still be lynching black people and blowing up their churches and homes for just wanting to vote.
If all rights are infinite they lose meaning and purpose, you use the concept of reasonable limits.
I believe that they would kill again if they thought they could get away with it.
The few times in the past when the ACLU has helped the KKK, they had their own motives.They are a "liberal" organization and that is precisely why they filed that and similar suits.
