2) He does not deny, as I understand it, any of Max Boot's specific quotations from him regarding race.
3) To say one is only "intermittently" in the KKK or a Nazi is hardly a ringing endorsement of one's position. To say one is not "responsible" for the comments of the leadership one supports is plain silly.
Well strike one
League of the South Board of Directors

Well strike two. What's he to deny? He states clearly he's Armenian and not Anglo-Celtic in his statement. Also please note this statement
As for the group's "racism," a word that is thrown around at anyone who looks cockeyed at Jesse Jackson, I find it revealing that white supremacist organizations have repeatedly and vocally condemned the League
Heck, Republicans have been considered 'racist' by the mainstream media and the Church of Morris Dees at times. Should we disband the Republican party as well? By your standard we should.

Ah, I see. Being a member at one time of a group that has called for Southern secession at some point in the future and advocating protection of beliefs that don't jell with the multiculturalism of PC is now akin to being a Nazi or a member of the KKK. How quaint. No argument so just get the Nazi/KKK slur in early?
To say one is not "responsible" for the comments of the leadership one supports is plain silly.
Say what?!? I've supported President Bush from time to time. Am I somehow responsible for the idiotic things he's said and done in the past four years on the domestic and foreign fronts?
BTW, since you're now throwing around baseless allegations and opinions, let me just state that I've read your book. I seriously wish I had the two days back it took me to drudge through it, especially as it pertains to the War. If you're so concerned about Dr. Woods and what his NY Times bestseller states, I'd write Amazon immediately so that it will no longer be packaged with your work, as it is now.
Ping to self.
Great post Charlite!
Bump
It's pretty easy to say, "I don't agree with many of the views of this organization and will no longer associate with it." But he's chosen not to do so. That is telling.
And if that's your view of "the War" as you call it, you're welcome to your view. And thanks for buying the book. But I won't be buying Woods.
Oh, and not "Director." Sorry, did that from memory. Try "founding member." Just re-reading BOot's comments on this guy shows how nutty this group is. 9/11 was our fault. Hmmm. I thought Ward Churchill was the one saying that.
Oh yes. A group that doesn't believe in interfering with other nation states unless directly attacked, little foreign aid, and no pre-emptive wars. Sounds familiar. Yes, I suppose Adams and Washington would be considered nutty by today's 'conservative' standard
You sound about as conservative as Boot. And I agree with Dr. Woods. Boot represents everything that is wrong with conservatism today.
And I guess I say the same of you. Again, thanks for the book purchase.

“what happened there. My mother knew Mrs, Scores personally—her husband was later in the oil field. The Darrow team was totally at each others’ throats in the end.”
I for one would love to read more.
“I know he’s on the board of a group that, if it isn’t a “white supremacist” group, it sure comes close.”
How come Negro supremacism, Indian/Spanish mulatto supremacism, Hmong supremacism, and every conceivable other supremacism are beyond wonderful, but white supremacism is beneath contempt?
