Are you guys having fun in your echo chamber? Mind staying in here until November?
Do you want to deny you enable birth canal abortions, like I emphatically said the above was a war crime?
Come on, lets calibrate your morality for any new posters here useless...
...So he supports them by wanting racist hiring procedures to be legal. He's enabling racism, and so apparently are you with your tacit support of such things.
Hey come now dude, i don't know what the hell your problem or issue is, but we've cleared that up. It seems that you're obsessed with me and my position on abortion, inspite of my clarifications.
i shall forgive you though
Hate the OP just hate it.
1) Journalist, you keep using the word Nazi, I don't think it means what you think it means.
2) Herbert Hoover was the first Republican to use the Southern Strategy, it was a one time wonder because the Dem's rallied and put a stop to it.
3)It was LBJ, not the GOP who handed the South to the Republicans. Democrats had been coasting on Southern support since FDR while adopting more and more policies that the South was opposed to. The Solid South flip would have happened by the late 60's no matter who was president.
Gee, looks like Romney is picking up steam.
Or is that just all the racists finally coming out of the woodwork?

LBJ should have opposed civil rights in order to keep the Democratic coalition intact?
Not saying that, and it wasn't just on Civil Rights where the Dem's lost the South. They also diverged on other social issues and economic ones, example- farming legislation.
Again, it wasn't about who was president per se as it was the final development of a trend started by FDR. FDR created a coalition of Southern agrarians, Norther unionworkers, and the black vote. In no way was that going to last. The Dems just picked the later two and let the former fall in importance to them.
It was primarily civil rights which drove almost all the racists out of the Democratic Party into the Republican Party. Those who didn't initially join, largely due to Democrats like George Wallace and Lester Maddox still in the party, did so shortly afterwards due to the efforts of Nixon and Reagan to recruit them by pandering to their fears.
...So he supports them by wanting racist hiring procedures to be legal. He's enabling racism, and so apparently are you with your tacit support of such things.
(which I think have more or less gone away by now due to the relative rarity of racism even in the South)
His autographed axe handles aka "Pickrick drumsticks" were quite popular with those who demanded only the finest implements to keep uppity blacks in line, and out of their restaurants.Don't be haten on Lester Maddox! He was the Governor of Georgia and thus above reproach.
Well, even in Mississippi, IIRC 54% of people (Or was it 54% of Republicans? I can't remember corrrectly) are not against interracial marriage. I suppose that doesn't mean they "Aren't racist" but if they don't have a problem with interracial marriage, I doubt they are racist enough to not hire someone on racist grounds.
Obviously, the fact that a majority of people aren't racist doesn't excuse the minority that is. But it does mean that deregulation would not recreate Jim Crow.
Of course, I still have bigger things to worry about.
