With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies?

The KKK is seeking a permit to hold a protest at the Masters this year. They want to demonstrate in favor of the Augusta National Golf Club's right to restrict membership to whoever they choose. If that turns out to be men only, well fine! Now, imagine the Club's board of directors meeting. A bunch of old white guys wanting to keep the exclusivity of their men only club, but getting help from a group that doesn't help their image. The Augusta National spokesman tried to distance the club from the KKK, but, hey, that's where it really comes from! Bobby Jones, the founder, was a really great golfer, but was also a good racist.
