Was the KKK's only mistake not opening an office on K Street?

MetroWeekly editor Sean Bugg has a great article up about Washington Post writer Dana Milbank's opposition over the Family Research Council being labeled a "hate group":

So, into this wades Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, who set off a firestorm with a column denouncing LGBT groups for calling FRC a ''hate group.'' It's not hard to compress Milbank's argument, because it's not much of one: Because FRC is a ''mainstream conservative think tank'' it can't be a hate group because it's not the Ku Klux Klan. Apparently, only people who wear a white hood and brandish a swastika can be labeled ''hateful.''

Unless, perhaps, the KKK opens an office on K Street, in which case we would need to begin carefully considering their policy proposals.

And here's Mike Signorile reporting on his interview with Dana Milbank on Tuesday.
