Hacktivist group Anonymous publishes names of alleged Ku Klux Klan members

Anyone know what kind of track record Anonymous has with these kinds of things? Scary if true..
The mayor of Lexington, Kentucky says he's not a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Anonymous postings saying he is are "false, insulting and ridiculous," Jim Gray said in a statement on Monday.
Gray was responding to the release of names of purported KKK members by someone claiming to be with the hacktivist group Anonymous.
"I have never had any relationship of any kind with the KKK. I am opposed to everything it stands for. I have no idea where this information came from, but wherever it came from, it is wrong," Gray said.
Many others also named began to take to Twitter Monday to disavow themselves from the postings.
Someone using the Twitter handle TheAnonMessage and posting as Anonymous, a global online activist network, said last week it would expose Ku Klux Klan members and publish personal details about alleged KKK adherents.

In a new post on document-dumping site pastebin, Anonymous names US Senators Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), John Cornyn (R-Tx.), Dan Coats (R-In.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) as members of the KKK. Anonymous also outed several mayors of major US cities, including Madeline Rogero of Knoxville, Tennessee; Jim Gray of Lexington, Kentucky; Paul D. Fraim of Norfolk, Virginia; Kent Guinn of Ocala, Florida; and Tom Henry of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

None of that would surprise me and if it's true screw all of them but has anyone corroborated any of this?
What a great way to get rid of some political opponents you don't like. Post a list of political enemies on the internet under the moniker Anonymous and declare them part of the KKK.
Has any of the media outlets reporting this done any follow up?

Did they list Harry Byrd, the Democrat U.S. Senator and longtime Klan member?

He just may be dead. As is Robert Byrd...

Anonymous has said this leak is not their list.

I'm pretty sure they won't bother listing dead people, but thanks for playing.

Dead Democrat Klan member or a live Democrat Klan member matters not. Evil lurks in the Democrats.

I'm surprised to hear you think the Klan is evil. I figured you to be a supporter.

Nope.
I'm a Republican.
It is the Democrats who ran slavery, created the Klan and to this day just use black people.

Moron.

How much do you want to bet that more Republicans are uncovered than Democrats as KKK members when Anonymous releases their list? You should be comfortable taking that bet, since you seem to believe that no Republican has done anything bad ever and every single Democrat ever was worse than Adolf Hitler.

"seem to believe"? Posting such a ridiculous assumption just shows how bigoted you are son.
Fact: It is the Democrats who ran slavery, created the Klan and to this day just use black people.
