What's really funny is that this all started with me pointing out the R's "southern strategy" -- which their own chairman admits the Rs engaged in, but which some people want to pretend never happened.

So, I point out that Rs peeled off racist southern whites* with a foul and racist strategy of painting the Dems as evil for supporting things like the Civil Rights Act.

Some Rs respond by talking about Eisenhower, whose presidency -- and, to an unfortunately great extent, whose entire type -- predate the period of the Civil Rights Act and the southern strategy.

Others respond by talking about how stupid black people are, because they fall for the Dem lies and tricks that are so evident to anyone else (or at least to anyone who is white and Republican).

And when you call them on it, Ty, it's because you are a bad person.



*(Note: Any minimally intelligent person would recognize that referring to "racist southern whites," some of which certainly exist, does not equal "all southern whites are racist")

I responded by pointing out a recent article in the liberal rag NYTimes exposing the myth of the southern strategy. Can you cite your substantive refutation of the study and its conclusions cited in that article?
