Ted posted a lie about Perry's "confederate" ties. Imagine that:

From 2009:

"Now, where does Governor Rick Perry fall on the ideological continuum I have just described? Does he see America as a gloriously pluralistic mix of color, culture and ethnicity, or is he some species of white nationalist.

In the tradition of the Southern governers who have gone before, Perry is speaking the language of state’s rights. That doesn’t necessarily make him a racist or a white supremacist. There is nothing inherently racist about seeking a balance between federal and state power. But we all know what Southern governers meant by state’s rights in 1860 and 1957, and concerns should be raised when politicians toss around this kind of rhetoric.

When they’re talking secession it just gets worse.

Two points. First, Governor Rick Perry is a proud member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Second, the SCV has been moving in a radical, neo-confederate direction since 2002 and is now run by blatant racists.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that Perry can be identified with the SCV’s recent extremism. In the 1990s, the group had a strong anti-racist faction and received commendations from Bill Clinton. Maybe Governor Perry would be shocked if he knew what was going on.

But until the Governor’s allegiance to an increasingly racist organization is clarified friends of justice will be left with an uneasy feeling."

Its seems to be common knowledge that Perry is a member of the SCV. That would suggest his office has some explainin' to do. And its not surprising.......just two years ago, Perry was pushing secession, one of the planks of the SCV. When it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck........well you get the picture..........Perry's starting to smell up the joint.

What kind of governor do you have, Brumar?
