We don’t hate the south, rather we love the truth.

“We don’t hate the south, rather we love the truth”

That’s really sad. If someone were to try to choose FR’s premier purveyor of malicious falsehoods about the South you’d be in the running.

You ought to at least admit what you do, as it’s obvious to everyone else. What was your latest? That Mack Lee was Robert E Lee’s illegitimate son? Well Mack Lee would certainly have been honored were that true considering the affection that he held for Lee. Those who are curious can read Mack Lee’s book for themselves:

But your claim has even less credibility than the Collander tales about Jefferson and Sally Hemmings. You post it simply to try to slander Lee, which is little surprise. Let’s contrast your scurrilous ravings with what one Republican President had to say about Lee:

“In 1907, on the 100th anniversary of Lee’s birth, President Theodore Roosevelt expressed mainstream American sentiment, praising Lee’s “extraordinary skill as a General, his dauntless courage and high leadership,” adding, “He stood that hardest of all strains, the strain of bearing himself well through the gray evening of failure; and therefore out of what seemed failure he helped to build the wonderful and mighty triumph of our national life, in which all his countrymen, north and south, share.”
