I'm not sure that Thurmond or Helms were in the KKK, much less Kleagles (whatever that is), and running on a segregationist platform in '48 was the Democratic thing to do at the time.

I don't get your Bush reference.

I applaud your feigned ignorance of the politcal shift of the 60s in the south, but turning a blind eye is what you do.

Well, for the "shift" to benefit your argument, those Republicans that voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would have had to become Democrats...did that happen?

No, instead, you had Democrats becoming Republicans...and remaining such. Except for the Kleagle types, of course.

No it doesn't. You were better off pretending it never happened.

The fact remains that in the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes.

By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes.

It could be argued that the shift of the 60's was Democrats, who realized how bigoted their party was, abandoning the wrong-minded Democrat platform and leaving to join the Party of equal rights.
