A crew of alleged Ku Klux Klan members counter-protested followers of a
controversial Kansas church before the U.S. Memorial Day service with
President Barack Obama.

The white supremacist group, who call themselves Knights of the Southern
Cross, said they were at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia on Monday
to protest the anti-military message of Westboro Baptist Church.

"It's the soldier that fought and died and gave them that right to free
speech," Dennis LaBonte, the self-described "Imperial Wizard" of the
Virginia-based group, told
CNN<http://edition.cnn.com/2011/US/05/30/arlington.cemetery.protesters/>
.

Westboro Baptist Church is known for holding anti-gay protests at the
funerals of U.S. military members.

Three members of the church were there, saying the dead should not be
idolized.

Another collection of about 70 people, not associated with the KKK, also
protested the extremist church group while police monitored.
