In response to my previous article, I received several e-mails, some not so friendly.  One of the points that the confederacy supporters make is that it was unfair of me to make a connection between the confederacy and the nazis.

Unfortunately, it appears that James von Brunn,  would disagree.

Von Brunn is the man who shot and killed a security guard at the Holocaust Museum.  According to a news report (from a Fox affiliate of all things):

Witnesses say he was wearing a confederate soldier's cap and a long coat, which he may have worn to conceal what police describe as an early-1900s rifle.

I'm Cliff, and on that "note", I'm outta here!


Photo: A typical confederate soldier's cap.  No photos of von Brunn's cap are available at this time.

By the way, thanks are owed to the folks at R.E.A.L for first catching this update.
