White supremacists adopt Mall Road

Meet Mall Road in Florence, Kentucky. (Those in the know call it KY 3157.)

I almost never visit Florence Mall, so I was unaware of what was looming in plain sight on Mall Road. It turns out that over a year ago, part of the road was adopted by the National Alliance as part of Kentucky's Adopt-a-Highway program.

What is the National Alliance? Let there be no doubt about it: The National Alliance is a white supremacist, neo-Nazi organization.

It's unclear if anything can be done about the shame of the National Alliance getting its name on a sign on a major highway in Florence. The Supreme Court ruled that the morons of the Ku Klux Klan could participate in Missouri's Adopt-a-Highway program, so this case wouldn't be much different.

The Adopt-a-Highway sign on Mall Road mourns the death of National Alliance founder William Pierce - a man whose extremism never relented. Even on his deathbed, Pierce claimed that Jews controlled the media and that no honest coverage had ever been done about him.

Now that Boone County has become the epicenter of local right-wing politics, let them deal with this embarrassment. We in Campbell County were force-fed this bullshit long enough. Now it's another county's turn.

Boone County's Republican officials seem proud of being movement conservatives. The fact that they sponsored a Glenn Beck-themed event attracts extremists like the National Alliance. The GOP reaps what it sows.
