Well I kinda figured. 🙂 Just pointed it out to suggest that maybe we shouldn’t assume the worst about Boykin, i.e. that he knew about the LotS connection going in and only backed out because it started getting press.
Has Dr. Johnson also backed out?

buddyglass – My understanding is that he also was unaware that the IOTC director was a board member of the League.

No retraction or apology for spreading false allegations, I see. Clearly the “accuracy” door only swings one way.

Use credible sources, not left-wing buttholes.
Joe Carter, who is the webmaster for the Family Research Council, left a comment pointing to Perkins’ response to Blumenthal on the FRC website. That response said:

Tony Perkins was the manager of the 1996 U.S. Senate campaign of Republican Woody Jenkins in Louisiana where Impact Media was contracted to make pre-recorded telephone calls for the campaign. In 1999, an unrelated federal investigation uncovered that David Duke had a financial interest in the company, which he did not report to the IRS, resulting in his conviction on federal tax evasion charges. This connection was not known to Mr. Perkins until 1999. Mr. Perkins profoundly opposes the racial views of Mr. Duke and was profoundly grieved to learn that Duke was a party to the company that had done work for the 1996 campaign.
These facts have been widely reported in Louisiana and the reports appearing now in various partisan media are not accurate. In 2003, Mr. Jenkins published a letter in the major daily in Baton Rouge responding to a critical article that resurrected the same distortion. “[I]t is unfortunate,” Jenkins wrote, “for you to smear a good man like [then-] Rep. Tony Perkins. There is absolutely nothing about the matter that should taint Rep. Perkins. His intentions were entirely honorable, and neither he nor I have ever been ‘in bed’ with David Duke as you so crudely and unjustifiably allege.”
The assertions made by Mr. Blumenthal are untrue and a distortion of the facts.

As for Boykin having a “boss,” you are technically correct and I withdraw the objection. The intimation that Gen. Boykin would do as he is told contrary to his conscience is unlikely but falls within the province of acceptable slime in the current environment, just as Dr. Throckmorton could be similarly slimed as one who must do whatever Grove City College tells him to.
Which he wouldn’t.
