Hi,
Will do.  Actually, the *first* voice message left on my office answering machine following the publication of the essay was a woman thanking me, and telling me about the need to expose the League of the South, which I had never heard of before.

Ed Sebesta is a good resource about the neo-Confederates and probably has quite a lot on Robert Stacy McCain.

I assume I sent you the email from Mark Potok of SPLC.  Maybe McCain will applaud that email and that would be one way of getting a response from him, as well as appropriately shaming the SPLC (namely, by having McCain praise Potok's email).  I sort of feel like Dina Parr when it comes to the SPLC...

I strongly believe McCain was not merely quoting the Tennessean newspaper, but was actively working with Tim Chavez, that they had some sort of strategy.

This email might loosen up Chavez's tongue: Here Chavez is called a racial epithet by the neo-Confederates he was helping.

 Hey, aids infested nigger bitch!!! When you send someone an e-mail calling them ignorant, be sure you do not show your ignorance as well, smelly jigaboo!!! The war between your ears ended in 1865, not 1869, as you told that spic Chavez. You have about as much sense as that "communist nigger" Farley. (Damn, I am still laughing about that!!!) As far as your feelings about the right side winning, I have a piece of advice for you, ignorant nigger whore. Go and see the movie "Gangs of New York". It is one of my favorite movies. Niggers are lynched and burned. People call Abraham Lincoln (who was a White Supremacist) a nigger-lover intent on destroying the White race. Racism is rampant. There is a lot of Confederate sympathy. Oh, did I mention that the movie, extremely factual and historically accurate, takes place in NEW YORK CITY??? Go and see it, if you dare to experience some TRUTH, instead of the lies you spew out of your smelly, cavity infested mouth!!! Lick my toilet bowl's insides clean!!! Black power, under your arms!!! Nigger.

Chavez may also be afraid because he said in his column he was mentioning Toomer's name to punish her for supporting me, and it was after that that she got this threat that made her so afraid, I didn't hear from her again until this year (after I mentioned her name in an essay). Toomer was president of Vanderbilt's Black Student Alliance in 2002-2003, and had asked me to support their cause. 

Vanderbilt's Freedom Forum / First Amendment Center had the McCain article on its website for years, I believe, even though they never responded to a single one of my many emails and telephone calls.  They might also be willing to attack McCain to keep themselves from looking bad.  (They couldn't claim ignorance of the case.)

Finally, you could call up Manning Marable.  He mistakenly praises Vanderbilt in his book, Living Black History (p. 12 I think).  He too might be embarrassed that he got the Vanderbilt story wrong and be willing to give you some choice words.

Jonathan

Hi, Jonathan-

Will be shooting over a couple of e-mails soon regarding info on the chapter, which will also include an account of what happened at Vanderbilt specifically and related wrongdoing. Am trying to force McCain to answer for himself; if you can, try to spread the word; I've got to hurry and force his hand ASAP as the book must got to press on January 2nd.
