I contacted www.salon.com and sent them documentation about the Nov./Dec. 2012 Confederate Veterans article about the award as well as the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) support of white supremacist ideology.
The article has just been run and you can read it at:

I will be doing updates to track the interest in this revelation.
Updates:
Huffington Post has picked up the story.

Phoenix New Times, the weekly alternative paper has picked up the story.
http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2012/12/sheriff_joe_arpaio_accepted_aw.php
This means people in Phoenix are going to know about this.
It is making local Phoenix television.
