Goodloe Sutton, editor of the weekly Democrat-Reporter newspaper in Linden, Arkansas (60 miles west of Selma, population 2,123) has made national news resulting from his editorial calling for the Ku Klux Klan to ride again. He advocates lynching Democrats – ironic considering his paper’s name.
Reveling in the attention, Sutton is doubling down, “… It’s not calling for the lynchings of Americans. These are socialist-communists we’re talking about. Do you know what socialism and communism is?”
The University of Southern Mississippi’s School of Communication reacted by removing him from their Hall of Fame. The quality of his writing makes one wonder how Goodloe Sutton got into the Hall of Fame in the first place.
