    I would pick both, but there is no multiple choice.

    Stupid question.

    Actually, for a UTSA student, that's creme de la creme.

    ... an "unnecessary intrusion into states rights". Jim Crow laws were all passed by the states.

    is that Strom Thurmand? You do realize that he was originally a democrat right? He then , appropriately, moved over to the GOP! Great civil rights record.....

    They would have been FOR civil rights but AGAINST Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society".

    right-wingers, conservatives, Repugs, rurals, bubbas, red-states are generally racist, while there are scattered exceptions to the rule.

    ("we value the black vote" - dubya at NAACP meeting, not that Repugs value black people)

    A er/Nixon's Southern Strategy, still alive today, was blatantly racist.

    Tea party is dominated by old white men who seem to be unemployed and have time to wave misspelled, racist, slandering placards at tea party astroturf jerkoffs.

    The votes of congress are a matter of public record. No need for "selective editing".

    How genteel.

    We'll see if "Tea Party" ever gets a chance to prove its bona fides on civil rights and scaling back the welfare state, or whether it becomes a sub-brand of the GOP instead..

    True, and it's a view which Barry Goldwater held at the time. It really isn't a stretch to think tea partiers could think the same way given fundamental views regarding private property. The main issue to me is why they would be so angry about being seen to oppose the CRA of 1964 for precisely that fundamental reason.
