Is Congressman Joe Wilson a member of hate group, Sons of Confederate Veterans?

Turns out Congressman Joe Wilson may be a good ole boy after all. It turns out that Congressman Wilson is or was a member of a group Sons of Conderate Veterans. It’s not clear if he is still a member but the group has had known racist ties since 2002 when it was taken over by extremist.

Was Wilson a member in 1996 when he was one of only 7 Republicans to go against their own party & vote to keep the Dixie Rebel flag flying over the South Carolina capitol?

Does the right hate President Obama because he is black?

The level of hate and animosity directed towards President Obama has George Cook the host of Let’s Talk Honestly ( www.letstalkhonestly.com ) wondering if it’s because he’s black.

Now Mr. Cook doesn’t believe that many on the right are outright racist but he does believe that race is a factor in their treatment of him as president. He believes that there is no longer any respect for the office to the point that people are saying “He’s not MY president”"

He believes this is true especially in the manufactured uproar over the president speaking to America’s students.

Why are people worried about their children being indoctrinated by President Obama when there were no such worries when President Bush ( 41 ) and President Reagan did the same thing? Is President Obama’s race an issue?
