Epic bias from Salon

[mac]

Oh really? Based on what? The inbreed voices in your head?

Well, there ya go with your stereotypes. I'm not southern. I was born and raised in New York.

Now, how about you tell us what's so bad about "the south"?

Nor am I inbred....my father was Irish and my mother Dominican. No where near related to each other. In fact, my gene pool is likely much larger than yours.

Greetings, F & L. :2wave:

:agree: Any one that can use the phrase "bless your heart" to both praise or insult is okay by me! How can you not just love polite and genteel Southerners? :mrgreen:

"Darlin'" like its butter sliding down the side of as corn of cob. During a speaking tour in Huston Ft. Worth, I was ferried about town by a grand lady dressed to the nines from 8 in the morin' who made me feel like I was the handsomest most charming man in the world. Her having a large husband and never without Mr. Smith and Wesson however kept it purely platonic

 

[Fearandloathing]

I have to live in a place to know what it is like?!



Whatever that is supposed to mean.



I`ve never been to the US. But I have been to Halifax, Quebec and PEI for a period of 9 months. I didn`t encounter biggotry, bible bashing toothless inbreeds, homophobia or any other filth. I found a friendly, comfortable and open multicultural society. Especialy Halifx, which reminded me alot of Hannover was a friendly place t be at. So what ever kind of Canada you may talk about, I guess it mainly exists in a minority fashion.



Like lynching and dating your own sister?



wohoooo. good for you.



Only people living in caves and mud huts rely on "first hand" expiriences exclusively.

Peoples and nations deserve their stereotypes and it is up to them to work on changing them.

And unlike Mississipi which flys a flag of slavery, you`ll never see the swastiker flag flown by any respected state or representative of out German nation. We learnd for histories mistakes to become a free and civilised nation. They chose to be proud of being uncivilised savages.

70 years of asking for forgiveness, realising our faults and learning from mistakes made us a nation that will soon leave these stereotypes behind.

You lot, are proud of your mistakes. And talk about how there was never a need for the civil rights movement, how "negros are better off in slavery", "war of northern agression" and have governors living in a ranch called "niggerhead".

But this is invain. The concept of "learning" and "historic responsibility" are things that swamp people minds are probably incapable of comprending.

Yes, you have to at least have visited a place to venture the kind of racist stereotyping sewage you spew.

Glad you enjoyed the maratimes...I doubt the feeling was mutual.

First off, neither Nixon nor Reagan were from the south and neither were particularly known as racists. The other guy in the picture damned sure was a racist and damned sure was from the south. That there third guy is George Wallace and while he may well have been from the south he damned sure wasn't a Republican!!

Well, George Wallace was a southern racist who switched to the American Indpendent Party in 1968, this of course after the southern Democrats switched to the Republican party following the Civil Rights Act. As for Reagan and Nixon, their presidencies were filled with scandal and treachery; all on the record, so denials won't help. The article itself concesn voter supression in teh Georgia governors race, and does a very good job of reporting on teh Republican campaign of voter supression going on around the country, and the article also points out the legal committee that has been formed to make sure voter suppression is carried out where it can be. The article is well linked; meaning that it credibly validates what it says is true.

The conservatives here are just going to have to come to grips with reality.

In 1968, as Wallace's poll numbers declined toward the end of the presidential campaign, his voters went to Humphrey, not Nixon.

It`s not based on assumptions. It is based on cultural references and self presentation of an erea.

No, your comments are based on ignorance. But I know where to go to find arrogant, leftist, know-nothing, Euro-trash opinions. Not sure anyone is really looking for that though.

Somewhere along the line, someone in his gene pool mated with a troll

Which southern democrats switched parties?

Here's a list of the folks who signed the Southern Manifesto - Southern Manifesto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Feel free to browse the list but I'm pretty sure that Strom Thurmond is the ONLY one who switched parties.

Funny, I don't think of Humphrey courting the racist vote.

For whatever reason, he got Wallace's voters.

Well now, let's be fair. The Dominican Republic (and Dominica) are both "southern". Sure, you can refer to them as Caribbean if you like but they are definitely south!:lol:

Dominican Republic, and I would say there is a fair difference in culture between it and Georgia....however, I enjoyed your point.

The southern Democrats were the southern people. The entirety of the south; for the most part, switched over to Republicanism as is common knowledge today. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.

Again, not reflected in 1968 voting.

Maybe they'll start looking into who came up with Manifest destiny and the miscegenation laws....

Only confirming my assumptions.

Many did based on the States rights stance vs federalism. It is however, absurd to imply that racist people suddenly decided to join a party that had long since established anti-racist attitudes for racist reasons.

OK...if the people all switched to the Republican party then it would stand to reason that the Democrat Congressmen from their districts would have stopped getting elected. How many from that list got bounced due to the switch?

 

[The German]

Yes, you have to at least have visited a place to venture the kind of racist stereotyping sewage you spew.

Racist?

Glad you enjoyed the maratimes...I doubt the feeling was mutual.

You dont know me personaly, and I am greatfull that you never will.

So take the assumptions you make over my personality and shove them up the part of the anatomy that you pulled them out of in the first place.

Oh. Arent you the guy who lied about his personal "cold war" expirience? I guess that should set the standards for how much of an honest person you are and how relyable your accounts are.

 

[Unrepresented]

For whatever reason, he got Wallace's voters.

Any speculation other than sharing the same party name immediately prior to the success of the "southern strategy?"

Hilarious.

The article outlines systematic racial bias in the GOP going back decades, and your main complaint about it is the picture at the top.... Apparently because they picked the wrong Republicans!

LOL.

Wallace's voters were not comfortable as Repubs, and so gravitated to the Dem.

 

[jet57]

In 1968, as Wallace's poll numbers declined toward the end of the presidential campaign, his voters went to Humphrey, not Nixon.

The deep south; Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, went with George Wallace as an American Independent candidate. Wallace represented the antebellum south, the grandsons of confederate soldiers were still alive...

Yes, but the Wallace voters who defected, in the deep South and elsewhere, went more to Humphrey than to Nixon.

I never even suggested that. Today's Republican party, and it's agenda, are neo confederates. That's what I was getting at. To the south, the Civil Rights Act was just another turn of the screw of reconstructionsim.
