Unsurprisingly, since Obama has been elected, the Klan and other hate groups have been more active,

Barely three weeks since America elected its first black president, noose hangings, racist graffiti and death threats have struck dozens of towns across the country.

More than 200 such incidents -- including cross burnings, assassination betting pools and effigies of President-elect Barack Obama -- have been reported, according to law enforcement authorities and the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups.

Racist websites have been boasting that their servers have been crashing because of an exponential increase in traffic.

And America's most potent symbol of racial hatred, the Ku Klux Klan, is reasserting itself in a spate of recent violence, after decades of disorganization and obscurity.

Let's face it; the KKK used to practically be a branch of the Democratic Party and these hate groups? They tend to be hard core socialists. Also, as we all know, there is only one former member of the KKK in Congress: that's Robert Byrd.

So, on behalf of all the rest of us in America, could you Democrats calm your backwards, sheet wearing brethren down a little bit? Hey, Markos, Arianna, maybe you could say a few words to these people or send "Sheets" Byrd out as an envoy.

The rest of America would appreciate it.
