	Talk:Robert Byrd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It doesn't matter if Byrd was a Kleagle 60 years ago or 50 years ago or if was a Kleagle in 2001 when he was talking about "White N**." The fact that he was a Kleagle** is the probably one of the most important aspects of his whole career.
		He even admits that himself when he tells other potential Kleagles not to become Kleagles because the whole Kleagle thing--even if you are like Byrd and think the Kleagle thing is cool--will hurt you because guys like me (the supposedly UNserious conservative) will remind him of his Kleagle days every chance that I get.
		Byrd was a Kleagle and that is one of the most important aspects of his whole career.

		Well, fine, if it's a wholesale purge Democrats want, we assume they'll be happy to start with their own ranks and oust the former Ku Klux Klan Kleagle, Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
		As usual, this high moral and political tone was set by the Democrats' supreme leader, Bill Clinton, and his wife Hillary.
		Byrd identified himself as a former Kleagle and recommended a person to serve as state Klan coordinator.

		Gray's vision of the members of the Klan is one of often confused, conflicted, and most often well-meaning people who wanted the best for their cities and states, but embraced the more destructive solutions to achieve those ends.

	Miscellany: Senator Kleagle
		But if I grant him the most charitable interpretation of his past -- the one he claims -- he let "his blind ambition and his hunger for votes" lead him to align himself with one of the most reprehensible organizations in the history of this country.
		Byrd wrote that he continued as a "Kleagle" recruiting for the Klan until early 1943, when he and his family left Crab Orchard for a welding job in a Baltimore shipyard.
		Returning to West Virginia after World War II ended in 1945, he launched his political career, but not before writing another letter, to one of the Senate's most notorious segregationists, Theodore Bilbo (D-Miss.), complaining about the Truman administration's efforts to integrate the military.

		Clifford Taylor became the Kleagle for Benson, Pierce, and Ramsey counties in late 1924.
		As a Kleagle, he had to make weekly reports to the Imperial Kleagle explaining the strategies, numbers and locations of his recruitment activities.
		The posters advertising the 1923 Larimore meeting came from the, “Office of the King Kleagle of North Dakota.” That person was F. Halsey Ambrose, who appeared before the state legislature the previous winter to oppose a bill that would make the wearing of masks outdoors a misdemeanor.

		“I believe affirmative action is wrong!” wrote KKK Grand Kleagle Phil Lawson, who issued the written statement supporting the proposal on the group’s Michigan Web site, www.mysticknights.org/Michigan.

		About 318,000 signatures must be collected by July 6 to place the initiative on the November ballot.

		A mistrial or other delays could easily make it unlikely or impossible to prosecute the Klan recruiter (or, as the sheeted guys call the job, the Kleagle).
		Killen, at his age, might even die - and expiring without a conviction is a form of beating the rap.

	WHEN WHITE HOODS WERE IN FLOWER
		Recruiters called Kleagles signed up members for local chapters (Klaverns) at ten dollars a head.
		The Kleagle kept four dollars; one dollar went to the state's King Kleagle, fifty cents to the Grand Goblin, and so on up the chain of command, with two dollars to Simmons himself.
		For many native-born, white, Gentile Americans, joiners by nature, the new Klan became a special lodge, like the Elks, the Rotarians, or Woodmen of the World, for which Simmons had been a field organizer.

		In “Conversations with a Kleagle,” Aronson will have to become a kleagle, or recruiter for the KKK.
		The play’s title refers to an interview conducted with the racist leader by Walter White, an African-American journalist from Chicago who in the 1920s passed himself off as a white man in order to infiltrate the Klan in Louisiana.
		The kleagle winds up “the most hated man in the parish,” Aronson said.

		Kommited Kleagles are the ones who do activist work, like raising money from brownie, I mean whitey, sales, and picketing fl-tie dinners.
		Kleagle means organizer but in everyday Klan slang it just means 'leader', especially the leader of a small local group of klansmen(known as a klavern).
		Clarke and Tyler would receive a good amount of money for every new KKK member, which the fee would be $10.00, $4.00 went to the Kleagle (an official in the KKK), $1 went to the King Kleagle (state leader of the Klan), $.50 to the Grand Goblin, and $2.50 to Clarke and Tyler.

		The Pulpit Pounder: Byrd's Albatross--The Kleagle and the Klan
		And far from being taken in by a recruiter, Byrd was an official recruiter for the Klan, a "Kleagle." So as you might expect, his book appears to be another flight into fancy for the "Child," as his remembrances don't seem to have much to do with reality.
		This is a paragraph of text that could go in the sidebar.

		There is no greater example of this double-standard than when comparing how liberals treated former Senator Strom Thurmond, and how Senator Robert Byrd has risen to a top leadership position in the Democratic Party.
		Byrd (a Democrat) and Thurmond (a Republican) were both segregationists in younger days, and Byrd was actually a Grand Kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan.
		Both men were leaders in the segregationist State’s Rights "Dixiecrat" Party, led legendary filibusters against fl-friendly legislation in the late 50’s and early 60’s, and voted against the 1964 civil rights acts.

	Power and Control: Dems revert to Klan roots
		Byrd was a local leader of the Ku Klux Klan for a period of time in the early 1940s, holding the title Kleagle; Klan recruiter.
		In a 1946 letter, he wrote, "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." However, when running for Congress in 1952, he announced, "After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization.
		I am just pointing out that "Kleagle Byrd" is denouncing Rice for her performance in office while her supporters are noting her race and sex.

	Conversation With a Kleagle, a CurtainUp review
		In Conversation with a Kleagle John Watson, a reporter from one of the first fl newspapers in Chicago, decides to expose the Klan for what it is. Since he can pass for white ("high-yella", in the parlance of the times) he goes down South disguised as a Klan member to get his interview with Monahan.
		In Kleagle, John Watson gets his interview with Randall Monahan but his ruse is discovered and he narrowly escapes his own lynching.
		While still rough in places, Conversation with a Kleagle is an arresting glimpse into America's not-too-distant past, where white politicians preached the preservation of the "good old Christian American way" and "Yankee carpetbagger" was an insult of the highest degree.

		Byrd won the primary, but during the general election campaign, Byrd’s GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country.
		The letter was dated 1946 — long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan.

		While searching for the word "Kleagle" just to see how very distant Byrd's connection to the KKK was I came across this interesting tidbit...
		Many poor whites were drawn to the idea that their economic woes were caused by Blacks, or by Jewish bankers, or by other such groups, similar to the Nazi party's propaganda in Germany.
		BTW "Kleagle" is an Official rank in the klan (basically a recruiter)so Byrd's connection was certainly not distant.

		Miller served as the Texas Kleagle, or Klan recruiting officer, for the Atlanta based United States Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, from 1955 to 1957.
		In 1957 United States Klans Imperial Wizard Eldon Lee Edwards banished Miller from his Invisible Empire for failing to establish a single Klavern (Klan unit) in Texas and for using the Kleagle appointment for his own purposes.
		Miller then began his own Klan unit, the Aryan Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which resulted in an international mail-order Klan with headquarters in Waco.

		It was Killen ("the Preacher") who Deputy Sheriff Price contacted that Sunday afternoon to get the word out to local klansmen that he was holding for their later disposal three men, including Mickey Schwerner, the much despised "Goatee."
		Killen, the owner of a local sawmill and a former unsuccessful candidate for sheriff, was a marginal character until Sam Bowers appointed him "kleagle," or klavern recruiter and organizer, for the Neshoba and Lauderdale County klan.
		He zealously performed his duties, as evidenced by the over seventy men who met on June 16 in Meridian to plan a trip to Mount Zion Church in Longdale, where they hoped to find and kill Schwerner.
