Personally, I wouldn't be too surprised to find a direct connection between Beck, and the unsavory past of Whatcom and Skagit Counties. http://tinyurl.com/qar38d On a lighter note, the Mayor of Bellingham is offering a key to city to Jon Stewart in response to Mt. Vernon's mayor's plans to give one to Beck.

However, we definitely have extremely conservative pockets, so I'm not surprised about the KKK in earlier times. I'm not aware of any KKK around now. Mt. Vernon is the county seat of Skagit county. Both counties are rural and have a lot of relatively small farms. Beck's soon to happen appearance in Mt. Vernon, is very controversial.

Vernon where the Beckster is from. I got curious and decided to look at some historical Klan documents that are available online. The teabaggers and Glen Beck's rhetoric is straight from "The Watch Tower", newspaper of the Klan circa 1920s. Very scary!
