dam Hussein, was buried by the racist avalanche in Georgia, and lost his Senate reelection
bid. Here's how Cleland described it:
Basically, when Roy Barnes changed the flag, that was it. That was the straw that
broke the camel's back. And what happened was, Ralph Reed then took the
hatchet and buried us. He took the hatchet that Roy Barnes gave him, by pushpolling
in the Republican suburbs, and in South Georgia, this question: The Democrats
are trying to take away Georgia's culture. And it came off the charts, especially
with white males.... And it quickly became a racial issue. And in the South,
if all politics are local, all politics are racial in the South.
In January 2003, 1 gave one of my enormously popular corporate speeches to the South
Carolina Bar Association in Charleston, where I learned that the Confederate flag is still a
huge issue in the Palmetto State. That same day, I heard someone on Fox News call John
Walker Lindh a traitor—which he was. He was a traitor because he fought against soldiers

You know who were the worst traitors in the history of our country? The Confederates.
They took up arms against soldiers wearing the uniform of the United States of America.
But they were much, much worse than John Walker Lindh. Because they killed hundreds of
thousands of American troops. And for what cause? So they could whip and torture black
people. Why would anyone want to put up a flag honoring that?
To give you some idea of just how evil and anti-American the Confederates were,
here's a rough comparison between the American deaths caused by the Confederates and
those caused by the most evil of our enemies today.

How could you possibly claim to be against traitors like John Walker Lindh, yet want to publicly
display the battle flag of the most murderous, anti-American betrayers in history? No
offense to my Southern readers and fans, but I don't get it.
I was talking to a Southerner about this the other day, and he said, "The Nazis were
bad. But we drive around in Volkswagens."
I said, "Yeah, but we don't put a Volkswagen on top of the state capitol."
