Chavez and Ashcroft

[Chris Kromm]

The best source on all this stuff is my friend Ed Sebesta's Temple of
Democracy site. It has the whole Ashcroft interview, as well as extensive
background on the neo-Confederate revival and the connections of different
politicians (Dem and Repub) to the movement. Sure beats the sophomoric
anti-South rantings on this list. ;)
