The Ku Klux Klan has Endorsed Barack Obama for President-Fiction!

Summary of the eRumor:  
The forwarded email is what appears to be a news story that claims that the White Supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan has endorsed the candidacy of African American Senator Barack Obama in the 2008 race for president of the United States.
 
The Truth:  
Why anybody would believe this and forward it is a mystery but it circulated on the Internet in February, 2008 during the season of primary elections for president.  The "news story" quotes the Imperial Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan as saying that the group wants Obama more than Senator Hillary Clinton, who was the other major Democratic candidate.

In reality, this story is from a British humor-satire site called The Daily Squib (www.dailysquib.co.uk).

That happens from time to time:  a story from a satire site gets circulated as the real thing.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

Ku Klux Klan Endorses Obama
February 7th, 2008

by James R. Crowe

Anything or anyone is better than Hillary Rodham Clinton

KENTUCKY - USA - Imperial Wizard, Ronald Edwards has stated that, "anything is better than Hillary Clinton."

White Christian Supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan has endorsed Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States of America.

Speaking from his Kentucky office in Dawson Springs, the Imperial Wizard exclaimed that anything or anyone is better than having that "crazy ass bitch" as President.

This is the first time in Klan history that any member of the KKK has ever publicly supported an African American candidate for the presidency.

KKK lodges all over America have been gathering and holding rallies supporting the black presidential candidate.

Grand Turk Cletus Monroe has also been very vocal about the election and has donated thousands of dollars to Obama's election fund.

"The boy's gonna do it. My Klan group has donated up to $250,000 to the Obama fund. Anything is better than Hillary Clinton. Hell I'll even adopt a black kid from Africa before I vote for Hillary."

"A few years back we were lynching negroes. Now we're gonna vote for one to be president of the US of motherfu**ing A, damn it! Anyone or anything is better than Hillary Clinton - anything!!"

Placards for Barack Obama have been put up around the Klan's Headquarters and the KKK have announced a television ad campaign to support the African American candidate
