Inappropriately angry for a school psychologist, but not overtly racist. I'm not from the south, so how bad is it to say "Santorum wins Mississippi and Alabama primaries: I grew up in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana-I am a Wallace Man at Heart!". That's one of the tweets the article called malevolent.

Is that code for being pro-segregation, or more akin just being a redneck with a confederate flag bumper sticker?

Neither he nor his detractors seem to know much about George Wallace.

In the late 1970s, Wallace announced that he was a born-again Christian and apologized to black civil rights leaders for his earlier segregationist positions. He said that while he had once sought power and glory, he realized he needed to seek love and forgiveness.[note 3] In 1979, Wallace said of his stand in the schoolhouse door: "I was wrong. Those days are over, and they ought to be over."[4] His final term as governor (1983–1987) saw a record number of black appointments to state positions.
