Not your father's George Wallace?

Lord knows going through life with the name "George Wallace" can't be easy. I doubt this does much to downplay that rep for George Wallace Jr., who is an Alabama Public Service Commissioner and the son of the Alabama governor.

George Wallace Jr. addressed the Council of Conservative Citizens during its national conference in Montgomery, where it protested its designation as a race-driven "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Wallace said the 50 people at the meeting in Montgomery struck him "as good, patriotic people."
The Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center classifies the Council of Conservative Citizens as a hate group. During the group's national conference in Montgomery, members protested outside the law center's headquarters Saturday, with some waving the Confederate battle flag.

If you visit the group's Web site, be sure to check out the ad for "White Pride" T-shirts on the right side of the homepage.
