Huge 1920s KKK cache discovered, reveals war on Catholics
by Paul Bedard | Dec 15, 2017, 8:37 AM

A huge collection of Ku Klux Klan material from the 1920s has been discovered, detailing the group’s “second coming” when it shifted from attacking blacks to Catholics and immigrants.

The enormous Klan cache, untouched since the 1920s, was found in Altoona, Pa., about 23 miles from Lilly where hooded Klansmen fought with Catholic German and Irish immigrants in 1924. At the time, 250,000 Pennsylvanians were members and all but two counties had KKK chapters.

It has been divided into over 40 lots and is being put up for auction next week by Maryland-based Alexander Historical Auctions. The total value is $20,000-$50,000.

I'm sure this discovery will come as a huge disappointment to today's racialists. Sounds like they won't be able to use any of this material 't all.

In PA's defense, we don't have a lot of Jews here so we had to make do with the next best thing.

Ban the PA flag! It's a symbol of HATE.   (See how easy that is?) 

And to think which side the Irish Brigade fought for...(Antietam, Gettysburg...)

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So, now we are talking about the Civil War? Obviously, Irish fought on both sides.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan

The wikipedia entry talks of how there have been 3 incarnations of the Klan, the 2nd incarnation which apparently this was is described in the article.  We all can make our own judgements.

So did the PA KKK just hate Irish from south of the Mason-Dixon Line, or were they equal-opportunity haters, and hate Irish everywhere?

Permit me to specify: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Brigade_(Union_Army)

Or were they like the 54th Massachusetts?

The only distinction I can think of is those on the union side tended to be fresh off the boat.

Considering the Southern Irish fought the Northern Irish, too, Maybe they just hate the Catholic (Southern) Irish. But the Southern Irish were Republican and economically thrifty (invented the IRA).

Well at least the PA KKK had their hate focused where it was deserved with the Irish. They apparently had a good working relationship with the blacks....

Of the more bizarre items are signs advertising "KLAN DAY" which included a picnic and elaborate fireworks display, a press release describing a baseball game between Klansmen and blacks.

Y'all aren't fooling me. It was likely a bunch of coal miners fresh off shift.
