Step One: Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour refuses to denounce a group of Confederate lost causers for proposing a state license plate venerating the founder of the KKK, Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Step Two: Liberals are outraged.

Step Three: Conservatives demand to know why liberals are always calling conservatives racist, and the KKK were Democrats anyway so there. Why are Democrats always picking on Barbour? Because he’s white and Southern? That’s racist!

Step Four: Conservatives decide if liberals hate Barbour so much, there must be something to like.

Step Five: Profit!!!
