She should have known who he was and sent the thing back! As you say it was only $100. Now go to her website. Look at the Photo Album. The last picture is one of her shaking hands with Rev. John Killian, the Past CCC Commander and National Chaplain of the Council of Conservative Citizens. Now this organization, amongst other thing says (and I quote directly from their website) "“We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called "affirmative action" and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.” And she is proud enough of this association to post a picture on her website? The original question is still unnswered "will her family ties and background impact on her ability to make unbiased decisions on the Court Of Civil Appeals?" sandman, you are right it is only $100 dollars, but the fact she took it from someone must of use know as a long-time right-wing troublemaker, is the issue here.

She has raised somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000 this year for her campaign. And you're right, on her 45-day report there is a contribution from a Leonard Wilson...for (gasp) $100! If you do the math, this is about 0.2 percent of the overall total. This whole smear is getting nastier by the minute. Well Anonymous, I went and looked at her campaign contributions.

You will notice the name of Leonard Wilson. For those of you who don't know, Leonard "Flagpole" Wilson is an old time Klan leader and associate of Judge Thomas's father. He go the name "Flagpole" because in 1956 he scaled a flagpole at the University of Alabama, during the desegregation riots there and yelled continuously "Keep 'Bama White" Lately he has been and ardent supporter of Chief Justice hopeful Roy Parker. We all have seen the photo's of Parker flanked by two men. Parker has a little Confederate flag n his and and several in his pocket. The guy to his left is Leonard "flagpole" Wilson!!!

Regardless of what her parents are or aren't that's reason enough to vociferously oppose her. These right wing hate groups are supporting Thomas TODAY.

I think his remarks basically said that he knew nothing more about this than what the reporter asked him. Additionally, I don't see a lawyer making any comments about a sitting judge. If it were her opponent, I would think he would have sought relief through either the State Bar or whatever vehicle they have to complain about a judge.

She has a record as a Judge. If she discriminates on the basis of race it will be reflected in her record. Because there is only a record of fairness and sound decisions by Judge Thomas, her opponent has to try to make this election about her parents. What does that say about his credentials?

Judge Thomas, might have 10 years experience on the bench. But to think she can stand there and say "I never knew my parents were involved in the Klan"??? C'mon people, her mother was arrested in 1979. It reportedly made the national news. This was in Cullman, Alabama where there we huge billboards at the city limits screaming "don't let the sun set on yo black ass in Cullman". What did she think those were? Come on Judge!!!!

I don't believe anyone should be damned on the basis of a litmus test, but they should be willing to explain why the results are not indicative of their own political stance.
