Talk:Thomas Robb (Ku Klux Klan)

Vandalism

All jokes aside (I have made quite a few funny edits to this page aka Robb loves jews, Robb is gay, etc.), isn't the "he loves the republican party" a little bias and liberal minded (not that there is anything wrong with that). The quote seems to try to tie the Republican Party to the KKK. Besides, the source never directly states Robb "loves" anything. I'd appreciate it if an opinionated statement like that would be removed. I'll also stop vandalizing this page if it is written properly.

Hmm, edits along the lines of 'Robb loves Jews' don't seem to me to be the most astoundingly original or effective ways to poke fun at nazis ... I'm not sure if the reference to Marilyn Musgrave is relevant - the statement was not made directly by Robb. Maybe it was just added as an attempt to discredit Musgrave? Anyhow I'm leaving it in as I'm not from the US so maybe this issue has significance i don't know about! --131.111.247.135 (talk) 16:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm I wonder why people connect the KKK to the republican party... gee I can't seem to put my finger on it.. maybe because the republican party's views are opposed to nearly everything having to due with individual rights like gay marriage & abortion& immigration- so the fact that they would be linked to being racist or "prejudiced" isn't or shouldn't be really of a "shocker". Also, I can't even imagine a KKK member being a democrat, could you??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.155.181 (talk) 14:06, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Gee you are an idiot! The KKK in the 60's was the SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS who were lynching blacks! You talk about rights but you support the rights of only the people who support your party. You communist!

References

This article needs serious help. The first two references, for instance, which should provide basic factual information, well, the first one doesn't look authoritative and is in fact dead, and the other is to a campus newspaper. There is no reference at all to (let alone more information on) this supposed 1997 documentary. Worst of all, these statements about Robb by the London Times and the one by the CDR, the only possible source, as far as I can tell, is Robb's own resume. We are taking his word for what is said about him? I've done as much as I could with limited knowledge and resources--if there really is an investigative journalist working on this page, they should do some work, some better work, to make this article up to snuff.

Vandalism

I understand that not many people like the KKK, but putting 'all KKK members suck cock' at the bottom of the page is just plain immature. I've removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.211.36 (talk) 20:48, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

KKK.com

Explain what is "inappropriate" about adding KKK.com this article? It was added because it has a quote giving his line of thinking and identified Robb as KKK national director. He is the national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and KKK.com is their website. Agg56tt (talk) 23:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

They are a terrorist group- what do you people expect? That "organization" is responsible for the slaughtering of entire families: children, elderly, women and men. Lucky for them, this is America, where inciting violence and hatred towards people because of their skin color is tolerated and is a "God-given right"... yeah God bless America.. woohoo.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.155.181 (talk) 14:10, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Name one crime committed by Thom Robb and his Klan! Just one. You cannot! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.207.184.41 (talk) 19:29, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Neutrality issues

It seems this article has been the target of sloppy, biased edits by white supremacists pushing a white power POV. The comments about the ACLU display strong bias. Stating that the ACLU is considered by some to be liberal is one thing, calling it anti-white or Jewish supremacist because it doesn't support Neo-Nazis and the KKK is a bit ridiculous. The comment about his first wife ditching him for a Black Panther seems dubious too. I would like someone to actually cite which source it's from, if it's not really just an outright vandalism to ramble about the Black Panthers. I'm flagging it for an uncited source and point of view issues. This article might require a rewrite to regain any level of encyclopedic value. --RaptorEmperor (talk) 07:10, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Agree on the neutrality issues. An article about the head of the KKK that doesn't mention racism, white supremacy, or terrorism is glossing over the entire essence of the organization the guy leads. If someone reading this article didn't know what the KKK is (plausible, considering this is an international website), Robb comes across as a conservative pastor and generally nice guy. Readers don't get the impression that this is the head honcho of a controversial group, let alone a violent fringe one. The article probably needs a substantial rewrite. Dpenn89 (talk) 09:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

What violent fringe group? The Knights Party is a non-violent group! Name one crime these people have committed. THERE ARE NONE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.205.54.4 (talk) 20:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm not seeing any evidence of violence from the Knights' party, either. Detesting an ideology is one thing, but lying about it is quite another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quietguy425 (talk • contribs) 06:28, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Christian Identity Church website dead link

It looks like http://www.christianidentitychurch.net/ website no longer exists/doesn't work on modern browsers. I would update it to the archive link, but I can't find anywhere on that website that has that quote, and it would be better to link to that.
