Amerika's Paper Finds Its Augusta

Update: The link has been fixed, I hope.

Update: Yes, it has.

And here's an excerpt:

"A Vanderbilt University professor has stirred outrage in Dixie by declaring that Confederates were 'cowards masquerading as civilized men' who should have been executed at the end of the Civil War.

'Every Confederate soldier deserved not a hallowed resting place at the end of his days but a reservation at the end of the gallows,' Jonathan David Farley, an assistant professor of mathematics, wrote in a commentary in the Tennessean, Nashville's largest newspaper....

Allen Sullivant, chief of heritage defense for the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), said Mr. Farley is 'entitled to his opinion, even one that's based on misinformation, ignorance and bigotry.'"

The Moonie Times' Augusta is, of course, the rehabilitation of the Confederacy and Southern racists.

And here's further proof of the obsession: Farley is again castigated in today's Times, with the following drivel:

There's little doubt that leaders of the Confederacy miscalculated when they chose war with the Union, and even less question that the Confederacy's soldiers were supporting the wrong values. But the deeds of nobility and honor were as common among the men in gray as they were among the men in blue.

Oh, really? I guess we'll be seeing Wes Pruden's praise for the noble warriors of al-Qaeda and Iraq next.
