"I don't want to upset any apple carts," explained attorney Kirk David Lyons of the Southern Legal Resource Center in North Carolina, a nonprofit group devoted to protecting the civil rights of people involved in Southern-heritage issues.

This article is giving free publicity to Mr. Lyons (a self-proclaimed white seperatist), who apparently has added the David to his name.

Kirk Lyons represented Andre Strassmeir, a German national, who was head of security at racist camp at Elohmin City. On the day of the Oklahoma City bombing, Lyons' office received phone calls from one, Tim McVeigh; no one is quite 'sure' how he got the phone number. Regardless of the merits of this particular case, Mr. Lyons has an agenda that the AP was too lazy to mention. Many believe that Andre Strassmeir was a government mole, brought in from overseas to keep an eye on the US "far right." (Also see the case of the Arizona Vipers, 1995-96.)

There is a lot more to this Lyons character (he worked with ultra-leftist Ramsey Clark on the Branch Davidian lawsuit against the government) but I suggest a Google search, "Kirk Lyons Andre Strassmeir" as a start. But anytime I see Lyons name next to anything I feel a little sick.

This article is giving free publicity to Mr. Lyons

Maybe/Maybe Not! The article was intended to be about protecting the CBF, not Lyons. I know Lyons is a controversial figure. Care to comment on his "motive" for defending this case?

Did you mean the case is giving free publicity to Lyons, rather than the article?

I don't know much about Mr Lyons. Maybe he is a horrible fellow BUT at least someone is willing to stand up for freedom of expression even if it is offensive to some sensititve souls or the rules governing the expression are unevenly applied.

This Lyons fellow would appear to be literally all over the political map.

I don't care much for Ron Kuby but I confess I could see hiring him in certain cases.

My real issue with lawyers is not so much with the political showdogs as with the large tort firms.
