George --
Since Chase and others seem to believe we're making this stuff up, perhaps we should offer a synopsis of recent media treatment. Jim might not object to a series of brief references, with citations so people could check them out if they wish.
I'm equally offended when some public figure goes out of his way to insult American soldiers today. I hope all of you are. Some of the remarks in Congress this week made them out be victims, too.
As mentioned in an earlier post, Northern media used the "T" word about Robert E. Lee in May 1865. We shouldn't be surprised if the media continues to disparage Confederates today.
