Desegregation, before Brown

Pat Buchannan: the once-favored candidate of Stormfront.

I actually like a lot of his ideas. If someone would come up with a communitarian, economically populist, socially conservative politician who wasn't a race baiter I'd vote for him in a second. Those two things seem to be mutually exclusive though in such a way that makes me believe some kind of race thing is baked into strasserism/blue labor.

You're describing nuns.

You might ask the race baiter you quoted if Buchanan was ever a member of the KKK like Harry Truman, Harry Byrd, or Hugo Black, all fine Democrats.

"When it comes to hatred, to violence, to racism, the Knights of the KKK can't hold a candle to the thuggish and criminal elements in the black community in Washington, D.C."
Pat Buchanan

Are the facts of the article in error? Which ones?

It's not the facts which are fine as far as it goes. It's the conclusion we're supposed to draw which is "ignore all those Wallace voters who also voted for Goldwater, and their descendents in the modern GOP."

I feel sorry for those upstanding Republican libertarians who are now forced to feel defensive about their party's history, but there it is.

Well now, I've never known you to back down under false accusations of an opponent, why should Republicans when high profile Democrats like Frank Rich do the same?

Frank Rich did do a good job accurately describing history. Unlike your moron from the National Review which hasn't been a real publication since Buckley died.

Your moron buddy Paul Rand tried to rewrite history live and in-person and it didn't go over well. Try again with your revisionist history, bitch.

Goldwater was not a racist. Frank Rich is a partisan hack.

and where does that leave us? The Southern Strategy is still a festering political wound, the GOP is still totally in denial and blacks vote 90% Democratic.

Republicans need to come clean and make amends.

Party of Lincoln!!!!! damn it!!! Lincoln was a republican can't you understand that simple fact!

Republicans freed the slaves 160 years ago and damnit those 'people' have never given republicans the respect they deserve for that in that entire time!

Plus Goldwater! He only hated blacks that he'd have to see! And he liked desegregation!

Damned ingrates should be voting republican!


edit: but fuck hispanics, those sleazeballs will vote democrat no matter what we noble and patriotic republicans do for them so we should do nothing at all for them. Fuck them all.
