He obviously was seduced by the dark side when he appeared on creepy Bill Maher's show. Then he rips to shreds that poor old coot, Maurice Bessinger for his support of the Confederate Cause.
I believe Michael supported flying the flag at the Confederate memorial on the state house grounds. He didn't think it belonged on top of the state house dome.
And, yes, I am proud to count Bill Maher as a friend. I'm always glad to appear on his show as the Conservative Red Meat to be tossed to the Hollywood lefties.
However, I must correct the posting alleging I call myself an Independent. That is absolutely not true. I spent six years as a Republican political consultant, I was Pat Buchanan's S.C. coordinator in 1992 and I am proud of being considered a member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy by people like Alan Dershowitz (whom I have interviewed).
The fact that I am not a Confederista (I happen to support the US Constitution. Jeff Davis didn't) sometimes throws the racist-Right Republicans off. They assume that any white Southerner who doesn't hate black people must be a liberal.
They are, of course, completely wrong.
Thanks again!
