Bye -bye liar.

I guess whatever education you received didn't include the concept of conjunctions creating multiple subjects for a sentence. Of course, I know that Lost Causers would truly be lost without their creative ways of attempting to shift context and trying to make words mean something different. The actual, complete sentence that I wrote was,

"Several years ago, Ron Wilson, who has a long history of white supremacist activism, and Kirk Lyons, whose background is even more colorfully racist (his wedding was performed by Richard Butler at the Aryan Nations compound in Idaho), succeeded in taking over the leadership of the SCV and turning it into from a heritage-promotion group in a more explicitly political organization with extensive ties to southern nationalist groups like the League of the South."

Now, did you see that part that said "Ron Wilson"? Ron Wilson was the one who actually occupied the seat of Commander in Chief of the SCV.

What happened was that in 2000, Kirk Lyons won a seat in the Army of Northern Virginia department board. In 2002, he ran for commander of that division, the largest and most important of the SCV's three departments, while Wilson ran for national Commander in Chief. Lyons' history became an issue and he lost the election by a small number of votes. Wilson, however, won and appointed Lyons to the national board, while Lyons put Wilson on the board of his Southern Legal Resource Center and gave Wilson's daughter a job there. Wilson then sent all of the SCV's litigation work to Lyons for a series of confederate flag lawsuits.

A shism formed in the SCV between the new wave of leaders who wanted to make the SCV more politically active and the section of the membership who wanted to keep the SCV as it was, mostly devoted to historical preservation, "tombstone polishing" in the words of the Wilson/Lyons faction. These two factions became known as the "Activists" and the "Traditionalists", or, more frequently, the "Lunatics" and the "Grannies." The Grannies pushed for a resolution disavowing racism and Wilson responded by purging large numbers of them, suspended whole camps and attempting to seize their funds. Over the next few years, membership in the SCV plummeted from 30,000 to 18,000.

If you want to give an alternative version of what has happened in the SCV in the last decade, I'd be interested to see it. Otherwise, I await your latest attempt at an ad hominem insult.

Another common liberal tactic: when you're busted saying something stupid, counter attack by questioning your opponents education and intelligence. (Sarah Palin gets this all the time.)

did you see that part that said "Ron Wilson"

Did you see this part? " and Kirk Lyons,"

I know you yankee liberals aren't real bright but do you know what the work 'and' means, don't you?

If you want to give an alternative version of what has happened in the SCV in the last decade,

Another liberal tactic: imply that I said something that I didn't. (your mentor, NS, tried that same tactic on this very thread by stating unequivocally that I 'hate the United States')

Once again you've been exposed as a liar. Your attempts to deny your dishonesty are lame and pathetic.
