Joe Wilson's Strange Friends
The controversial congressman has been a member of Sons of Confederate
Veterans.
by Max Blumenthal
Since Republican Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina bellowed at
President Barack Obama, �You lie!� during the president�s nationally
televised speech on health care, the fourth-term backbencher has
emerged as a hero for the conservative grassroots.
One of the most enthusiastic endorsements of Wilson�s histrionics came
from the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), a group that Wilson has
belonged to according to his own biographical materials.

�Mr. Wilson, never apologize for allowing your love of truth to
overrun your desire to be polite,� the SCV Tea Party declared on its
website. http://scvteaparty.com/?p=165
�It is the liar who must apologize, not the one who identifies the
liar!�
Who are the SCV?
A once-proud organization of Confederate history buffs and Civil War
re-enactors that traditionally spent its money to restore battlefields
and Confederate cemeteries.
By 2006, however, the SCV had been substantially taken over by an
organized cadre of white supremacists
http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=1027 (read
here for more background
http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=154) who
sought to turn the nation�s oldest Southern historical society into
what the veteran white supremacy activist Kirk Lyons called �a modern,
21st century Christian war machine capable of uniting the Confederate
community and leading it to ultimate victory,� had seized much of the
SCV�s leadership positions, the Southern Poverty Law Center released
an extensive list of SCV officials who belonged to �hate groups.�
http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?sid=90
Lyons, a key member of this new leadership, had harbored dreams of
creating a seemingly benign front group for a more sophisticated
version of the Ku Klux Klan.
http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?sid=90
�I have great respect for the Klan historically, but, sadly the Klan
today is ineffective and sometimes even destructive,� Lyons told a
German neo-Nazi magazine in 1992.
�It would be good if the Klan followed the advice of former Klansman
Robert Miles: 'Become invisible. Hang the robes and hoods in the
cupboard and become an underground organization.'�
With the SCV, Lyons discovered he didn�t have to go underground after
all.
Once Lyons helped install his close friend, Ron Wilson, as president
of the SCV, the organization�s political newsletter, The Southern
Mercury was transformed into a propaganda mill for crude white
supremacist cant. http://fpacscv.org/southernmercury/
Mailed to all dues-paying members of the SCV until it folded in 2008,
the Mercury published articles describing blacks as genetically
inferior to whites, calling African-Americans as �a childlike people,�
and warned that if Obama runs for re-election, race riots of an
�exceedingly violent nature� would immediately ensue, leaving �entire
sections of some of our cities in ruins.�
Here are a few highlights from the Southern Mercury:
�After the turn of the 20th century, the white Southerners had
disfranchised and segregated the blacks, in perhaps the mildest
reaction possible at that time to the blacks� transgressions. The
blacks�then a childlike people�had been selling their votes to the
Democrats en masse for $.25 apiece in national elections.�
��Where We Stand Now, And How We Got Here,� by Frank Conner, Southern
Mercury, September/October 2003
"Previously, anthropologists had routinely recorded the notable
differences in IQ among the races; but at Columbia, a liberal cultural
anthropologist named Franz Boas�decreed that there were no differences
in IQ among the races, and the only biological differences between the
blacks and whites were of superficial nature� Meanwhile, the liberals
in the media heaped special praise upon black athletes, musicians,
singers, and writers�and treated them as typical of the black race.
The liberals were creating a false image of the blacks in America as a
highly competent people who were being held back by the prejudiced
white Southerners.�
�Conner, September/October 2003
�It is very clear to me that if Barack Obama should be elected
President, he would be extremely anti-white and would demand
reparations for slavery and press hard for affirmative action to the
degree that it would hurt young whites who were seeking jobs or
admission to College and Graduate Schools.�
��Americans Face The Worst Presidential Candidates In History,� by
Robert Slimp, Southern Mercury, May/June 2008
�I believe that [Obama�s] rhetoric and anti-white legislative
proposals would stir up racial riots. If he were running for
re-election, these riots would turn into an exceedingly violent nature
that would seriously damage race relations in America, and leave
entire sections of some of our cities in ruins.�
�Slimp, May/June 2008
According to Edward Sebesta, http://www.newtknight.blogspot.com/ a
leading researcher on the neo-Confederate movement and its ties to
mainstream politicians,
�The SCV tries to present a face of �heritage,� historical nostalgia,
to the public, but the articles in the �Southern Mercury� show a group
that is seething with an extremist reaction to a changing world. With
Obama the SCV members are confronted by a very visible sign that their
idea of a world, or even their locality, being one where Reactionary
white Christian men should dominate, is nearing an end, if not over.�
Did Rep. Joe Wilson resign from the SCV as soon as the organization�s
takeover by avowed white supremacists began?
There�s no public indication, and his office phone lines have shut
down under the blizzard of calls prompted by his Obama outburst, so he
couldn�t be reached for comment.
What we do know is that while serving as a state senator, Wilson led
an SCV-inspired campaign in 2000 to keep the Confederate flag flying
above South Carolina�s state capitol.
�The Southern heritage, the Confederate heritage, is very honorable,�
Wilson proclaimed at the time, responding to critics of the
Confederate flag. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/503579.stm
Wilson�s rebel yell at Obama has electrified the Republican
grassroots, filled his campaign coffers with donations solicited on
conservatives websites,
http://www.freep.com/article/20090910/BLOG36/90910072/Wilson-takes-case-online--pleads-for-donations
and earned the previously unknown backbencher primetime appearances on
right-wing talk shows.
Interesting choice.

Ahhhhh, the "Martian Empire"!!!!! One of your great fears???
But you demand to be treated like an adult. No you're treated like a
member of the age group you most closely resemble, B1ackwater, esq.
The onus is on you to post like one. Maybe you're to young to
understand this point. Get your mommy to explain it.
