If you think for an instant that this dimbulb doesn't represent the core zeitgeist of the New Confederate/Rethuglican base, and that the treason flag he's got in his left paw is "heritage, not hate," you should go pick up Tony Horwitz' excellent book (published in 1998!) "Confederates in the Attic." (Also: "Impeach Obama." Yeah, in your fever-dreams.)
(h/t P.E.C. for the book!)
