"[4] In 2000, the president of the progressive advocacy group People for the American Way called Southern Partisan "racist", pointing to columns that criticize Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela, and alleged that it views slavery favorably.
"[2] Southern Partisan received national attention in 2001 during the confirmation hearings of U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, who had praised Robert E. Lee in a 1998 interview with the magazine.
[citation needed] The magazine's editor Christopher Sullivan has said that critics take "quotes out of context to paint a picture of racial and historical bigotry in the Partisan".
