OT I think there is "credible evidence" that Ashcroft supported "American Partisan" and contributed an interview to it. Lott was the one who participated in meetings of the White Citizens group. Consider an Ashcroft defender: "Ashcroft's opponents also make much of his 1998 interview with Southern Partisan magazine. In fact, Mr. Powell quotes from it at the beginning of his article. In that interview, Ashcroft expresses not the slightest support for slavery or racism. Quite the opposite. In a passage ignored by Mr. Powell and just about everyone else in the major media, Ashcroft again speaks indignantly against "revisionists" who have falsely attempted to turn America's Founders into defenders of slavery." Duh! "America's Founders" enumerated representation based on slave populations in the Constitution. It appears that is was quite an accident that there was slavery in the US according to Ashcroft. The Founding Fathers were opposed to it and the Confederate Generals weren't fighting for it.
