Hmm. Anyone who relies on the link below about Dees should take another
step and examine the website where it is posted www.patriotist.com . Be
sure to scroll down to the column titled "The Outraged Negro Gambit," and
peruse some of the other enlightening links. The article on "cultural
genocide" (That's where southern, white, confederate peoples are being
violated when the confederate flag is not allowed as a symbol in public
places, for those of you who wonder.)
Thanks, Deacon, for demonstrating to us exactly who discredits Morris Dees,
with a little insight into why.

Tom,
You seem to know a good bit about the situation. Here is my question. How
does the Southern Poverty Law Center make their money and earn recognition
as one of the most profitable non-profit organizations in the U.S.? (Here's
a hint: http://www.patriotist.com/dees.htm)

Simple: Follow the links. Wilson to Wilkins to the League of the South.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has exposed the League of the South to be
white supremacist in nature. Or are they lying, too?
It is truly that simple.

I am not representing the Daily News, but I think it is clear that
Doug Wilson and his various buddies are trying to kill the messenger
since they really do not enjoy the message.
The message is that Doug has been exposed as clearly and directly
supporting the abhorrent practice of human slavery. Wilson has lately
been stepping carefully away from what he co-wrote in that booklet
("Southern Slavery: As It Was"). He now says he really meant that
slavery should have been ended without the Civil War, but the book is
quite obvious. Wilson said that human slavery was justified in the
Bible and justified historically by the wonderfully humane system of
slavery developed in the South. Wilson has been exposed writing
blatantly untrue assessments about the nature of Southern slavery (ask
any historian).
Since Wilson is worried about this message getting out, he is
sending out the troops to attack the Daily News as the messenger.
The topic of Wilson's February conference is "Revolution and
Modernity." However, it is accurate for the Daily News to indicate
that a discussion of Southern slavery will be incorporated into the
conference. Wilson and his co-author (Steve Wilkins) from the slavery
book are both featured speakers. In previous years, these annual
conferences sponsored by Wilson's church have included discussions of
slavery whatever the stated focus of that year's conference. Wilson
acknowledged that he expected the topic of slavery to arise at the
February conference as well.
I thought the Daily News article was more than fair to Wilson,
giving him plenty of space to define his views.
Looking back at the published article, I was amused to read again
the subtitle: "Debate, emotions already stirred as preface to February
conference at UI." Yup, that about sums it up.
