We
received word late last night that my name… and the names of
several other Virginia Flaggers… were included on a list of names
that is being circulated as a “confirmed” list of KKK members,
revealed by the internet group “Anonymous”.
The
list also includes members of the Va Division, SCV, and two past
Commanders in Chief, among others.
It
is obvious to anyone of reasonable intelligence that this list is NOT
anything that the “real” Anonymous would have released. The
personal information is nothing more than that which any citizen can
find in a simple google search, is riddled with sophomoric errors,
and the links cited all refer back to the hate bloggers who have
nothing of substance to offer.
There
is absolutely NO proof offered that any of the people on the list
have any connection to the Klan, in any way, shape, or form.
I
can also speak for myself to say that I have never been a member of
any such organization, never known anyone who was, and have never
even heard of anyone who has. Anyone who knows me knows full well
how laughable this accusation truly is, but I have no desire to
parade my personal life on display in an attempt to prove anything to
these people. I am comfortable letting my words, deeds, and actions
speak for me, and have little concern for the ignorant assumptions
and opinions of people so wholly unconnected to me or mine.
What
is also obvious is that this list is a cruel and vicious hoax. By
publishing the personal information of the most vocal and outspoken
Southern Heritage activists, and labeling them as “KKK members”,
these people have incited some of the most sadistic and hateful
attacks and threats that we have ever witnessed. They even went so
far as to publish the names of my children. All of this with one
purpose in mind… to intimidate and silence those who have the
unmitigated gall to disagree with their version of “truth”, and
who are unwilling to go away quietly.
We
are working with local, state and federal authorities to track down
the source of this defamation, and to investigate the threats that
have been received as a result of this false post.
Please
reference this link, which clearly proves the fraudulent nature of
this “list”… http://pastebin.com/it6a2r4g
This latest assault serves, once again, to accentuate the clear and very real differences between those of us who have decided to take a public stand for our Confederate Ancestors, and those who are clearly threatened by our very existence.
My response can be
best summed up in one of my favorite Jane Austen quotes:
"My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me."
