When was the "moral panic" over the KKK, exactly? Usually the term means an irrational fear.

Other parts of the list are also obnoxious and/or offensive but I didn't want to dissect it all.

I suspect they're saying that the KKK itself was a "thundering herd of dumb".

Pretty sure the KKK was supposed to be the moral panic against things like black people and catholics.
