Here is a photo of Haley Barbour with the Council of Conservative Citizens, which appeared on their website during his 2003 election:

The photo was placed directly above a variety of racist and anti-Semitic materials, including an essay by outspoken anti-Semite Edgar J. Steele entitled “In Defense of Racism” and tracts urging that Germany be cleared of the “blood libel” of the Holocaust. 

The CCC is what the citizens councils evolved into. Barbour refused to ask them to take his photo off their site.
