What's wrong with playing a Confederate general.

The Confederacy has nothing to do with racism whatsoever, and I thought that movie was one of the few good things Ted Turner has ever done. It actually gave a fair portrayal to the Southern side.

Also, for some reason, I don't think West Virginia is dumping this guy, if the reason is he's a racist.

If his views were really unpopular with the people in that state, he would have been taken down long ago. Thats something that has to be accepted.

Now if it was a conservative that played that role we both know the Dems wouldn't stop howling until he resigned. C'mon!

Did he play Nathan Bedford Forrest? The two have something in common.
