The Atlanta Journal did an investigation on this and could find no proof that this is the case. That statement is a flat lie because the AJC DID find evidence of the origin of the flag being based in a desire to fight desegregation, as Tucker's piece indicated.

Apparently you missed my previous post regarding the 1992 statement of fact (which unlike yours was not an opinion piece).
The racists of the time had no problem speaking up, going on the record, and saying exactly what they thought of the Civil Rights movement or standing in doorways or otherwise being loudmouthed boors. Its curious that they did not do so in regards to the flag issue at the time. Makes you go hmmmmmmmm.
