I can confirm this, and a story was broadcast on the local
ABC news affiliate (WJLA) that talked about this and Waco
some. Congressional hearings by the senate have been sceduled
as a result. I saw vidiotape of the signs referenced in the
article posted to the list. I did not see T-Shirts, but I
did see a whole lot of 'confederate flags' as well as allot
of serious drinking and hell raising by burly dudes who
looked like they'd be more comfortable in body armor.

Interestingly enough, WJLA is on the net (note

Has anyone got the address of the Southern Poverty Law Center? Wonder if 
they will go apeshit putting out press releases against the racist 
activities happening during the watch of TReasury Secretary Robert Rubin, 
a Nice Liberal Jewish Boy.....
