Former KKK leader Tom Metzger to run for Congress in Indiana

Given today's hysteric political climate, I suppose it was only a matter of time. Just a shame it had to come from my home state of Indiana.

As reported from Fort Wayne, former KKK leader Tom Metzger, from Warsaw, Ind., is running for Congress:

The 71-year-old former KKK Grand Dragon and founder of the White Aryan Resistance has launched a campaign as a write-in candidate. He advertised his candidacy with a small ad in the Warsaw-Times Union Newspaper. It urged people frustrated with "the Republicrats" to "send them a real message." The seven-line ad concluded with "Write in Thomas L. Metzger for Souder's job, 3rd District."

"I ran the ad for a week and I might bring some hillbilly bands into town to get the campaign going," Metzger told NewsChannel 15. "They can call me any name they want, but I'm going to tell the truth."
