What is the relationship between the Republican Party and the KKK? Are many Republicans, Klansmen and women?

None at all.

There is absolutely no connection to the kkk from the GOP but democrat senator Robert Byrd was a member of the kkk. the GOP is the party of Lincoln and has done more for minorities than the left has ever done. The left tries to hold minorities down and make them dependent on them so they can have control while the right tries to help all Americans prosper and have opportunity.

Actually, the KKK is associated with the Democrats.

E.g., see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senator_Byrd

In part:

Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan when he was 24 in 1942. His local chapter unanimously elected him Exalted Cyclops.

According to Byrd, a Klan official told him, "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd later recalled, "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did." Byrd held the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops.

In 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo:

“ I shall never fight in the armed forces with a ***** by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds. ”

— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944,

There is no relationship between the KKK and the Republican party.

I have never bothered to ask any member of the White Patriots Party that I have ran into are they a Republican or a Democrat because it does not matter. making their day miserable is the only thing I cared about.

Democrats formed the KKK and comprised the majority of members today.

Oh yes. Alan Keyes, who was a leader for many years, was the leader of the KKK at some point.

Here's a picture of him just in case you don't who I'm talking about

So in other words - your question is very silly.

Actually the KKK started out as the enforcement wing of the democrat party. I find it interesting that you failed to note that from your viewing of the documentary.

I would be very interested in one policy that is similar to the GOP platform. Please share what those "many" policies are.

Wrong party. Your looking for the Democratic party of Robert KKK Byrd of West Virginia.

My concern is that the DNC or other groups are sending people to Y/A to ask this type of question

Democrats are getting to be a gang of thugs

there are no republicans in the kkk, and the kkk was formed by Democrats and every Democrats president was a member of the kkk except JFK, kennedy, carter and obama.

i'll repeat that once again, there are no known republicans ever in the kkk, its all Democrats.

remember it was lincoln the first republican president that freed blacks in america
