Scottsboro Klan Video Proves Simpson’s Case in Siegelman Prosecution
September 11th, 2007This video courtesy of the Scottsboro Police Department in North Alabama shows former head of the Jackson County Democratic Party, Parker Edmistons, “knocking up” Bob Riley for Governor signs at a Ku Klux Klan rally on the Jackson County Courthouse lawn Nov. 16, 2002, just days after the election while a legal recount fight proceeded. He’s the one in the black sweat shirt and jeans also seen hobnobbing with members of the Klan and Jackson County Sheriff’s deputies. Sources say this double-barrelled political dirty trick may have been set up or leaked by another lawyer who was a member of the same machine fraternity at the University of Alabama as the governor’s son Rob Riley - working both sides of the political fence. Since Jill Simpson was on assignment for the Riley campaign taking photos of this dirty trick to use against Democrats, including Siegelman, this video, along with Ms. Simpson’s phone records, prove there was a Klan rally and a phone call - in direct contradiction to public statements reported in the Alabama press from Republican and business officials associated with Bush political aide Karl Rove. He resigned from the White House in August. The reason Ms. Simpson was in on the conference call - a call now reported around the world - was precisely because of her involvement in “researching” the Riley-Klan incident.

Good question. You mean they think?
