[White] Citizens' Council newspaper available online

The entire run of the [White] Citizens Council newspaper is available online at:

I recommend thumbnail mode and then select the page you wish to view.

The members of the Citizens' Councils newspaper makes it quite clear that Confederate symbols were commonly understood as symbols of white supremacy and this view was held by members in mainstream society in the South and elsewhere.

The assertion by Shelby Foote and others that the KKK ran away with the meaning of Confederate symbols during the Civil Rights Era is shown to be nonsense.

What is the difference I would like to know? Why are the people in the article linked to by the following URL upset with McDonnell and not Obama?
