14. Missouri has been a haven for many white separatists groups for ages.

The Klan was proud to announce its "Adopt a Highway" stroke of brilliance years ago, and maintains it gleefully. Surely it's for publicity, but it's their way of reminding the human race that they are very much active in Missouri.

There have been clusters of these white supremicists scattered throughout the state for ages, involved with violent white racist criminals like Chevie Kehoe and his brother, huddled up in their own creepy communities.

An article representative of news many Missourians would remember:


Controversial ‘campaign’ ads air on area stations
Posted Mar 31, 2010

From staff, AP reports

news@joplinglobe.com

The owner of some Southwest Missouri radio stations believes he has no choice but to run controversial ads because the Aurora man who is paying for them has filed as a write-in candidate for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat now held by Christopher “Kit” Bond.

Frazier Glenn Miller, 69, is a former leader of a group called the White Patriot Party. His ads have been aired in Springfield, Kansas City and, beginning this week, on radio stations out of Monett.

Some of Miller’s ads have started running on radio stations KRMO and KSWM, AM stations that are part of Monett-based Eagle and Falcon Broadcasting. KSWM is a talk radio station, while KRMO is a country/agriculture station.

“It started yesterday,” said Dewayne Gandy, president of the Monett radio stations, in a Globe interview Wednesday. “I think there are a total of 18 (ads) over 90 days.”

While the ads focus on Jews, according to an Associated Press analysis, they also criticize immigrants and minorities. The ads also goad white voters to “unite” and “take our country back.”

“This is the second time we have had Mr. Miller on the station. He was here in 2006 also,” Gandy said, referring to Miller’s run for the 7th District U.S. House seat held by Rep. Roy Blunt.
