It's Official: Hate Groups Heart Roads
First it was the KKK; now it's the American Nazi Party that has "adopted" a road, this time in Oregon: News - StatesmanJournal.com
County officials listed "constitutional right to free speech" as the reason they allowed the group to give them money, er, join the program.
Is this a new trend in America? Hate groups adopting roads as a means of self-promotion? The article says it has been going on since the '90's. If this is true, and it's continuing, then either it's working for the groups, or they don't care about the effectiveness of the program.
Either way, it's gotta be disturbing to drive down a lonely country road and coming across a sign for the Nazis. It would make me think twice about stopping for gas, that's for sure.
More later...
