Is Mary Ellen Synon a "Neo-Confederate"? edit

Mary Ellen Synon is on record as hating Abraham Lincoln, attacking the Reconstruction Era, defending the first incarnation of the Ku Klux Klan and praising George Wallace. She also writes for Chronicles magazine by the Rockford Institute, a group accused by one source-the Southern Poverty Law Center-of being a Neo-Confederate group...("the [Rockford] institute publishes Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture, a periodical filled with articles penned by neo-Confederates.")[1]. Also, she quotes Clyde N. Wilson, a professor linked with the neo-Confederate group League of the South. It seems to me all of these would qualify Synon as a "Neo-Confederate" sympathizer, at least. However, I've removed the "neo-confederate" link from her article until I hear what other Wikipedia users think. 188.141.79.220 (talk) 19:52, 24 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
