Well, fortunately, most people in our small town have known us for years and know the charge by the HRC is ludicrous. What concerns us is our potential customer base, the people who don't know us and who might not take the time to look into the accusations or ask us for an explanation, you know, the "headline readers".

Yes, and how many firewalls will now block Free Republic due to this disinformation of it being a hate group? And how many times will we have to ask to have our name removed from other agencies' lists that may label us a hate group because of this? I fear many liberal organizations will now use the press release to put us in the hate group category. They'll never had heard the retraction, of course. No, wait, was there ever a retraction? NO! So soon Morris Dees will have us in his hate group list at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
