There are two interesting things about this.
1. Fox News is having Andrew Napolitano on their network as a credible expert. It is a sign of neo-Confederacy getting mainstreamed into the conservative movement in this country.
2. The public is beginning to find out about this craziness through major media outlets like the Daily Show.
By the way, if you haven't purchased your copy of "Loathing Lincoln" by John Barr you should.
