Good luck to him as long as he restricts himself to keeping Isists, homophobes and racialists under attack. I wish I had the know-how!

Dammit, I've done it again! So sorry, Hope ... my forgetfulness is getting beyond a joke!  :(

Why?

Do you really not consider the Klu Klux Klan to be racist and homophobic?
