Pretty significant. "I Rode with the KKK" got the IRS to revoke the Klan's tax-exempt status which was a big financial blow, while he also humiliated them publicly (especially when he got the Superman radio show to do an arc with them as the villains).
I wrote about this briefly in White Flight:
That quote comes from the informant reports that Kennedy sent to Ralph McGill at the Atlanta Constitution.

They're really fascinating documents. Available in the McGill Papers in Emory's Special Collections. findingaids.library.emory.edu/documents/mcgi…
For those who are interested, here's the first episode in the Superman arc, "The Clan of the Fiery Cross."
