If Newt Gingrich Hasn't Been Actively Engaging In Racist Dog-Whistle Rhetoric

[tinydancer]

Both Lester Maddox and George Wallace LEFT the Democrat party and joined the American Independent Party, running for further office that way.

You might want to do some RESEARCH before holding up examples like that, Dillow Willow.

The majority of Dixiecrat segregationists stayed Democrat.

Truth. This was part of their platform.

" We stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race; the constitutional right to choose one's associates; to accept private employment without governmental interference, and to learn one's living in any lawful way. We oppose the elimination of segregation, the repeal of miscegenation statutes, the control of private employment by Federal bureaucrats called for by the misnamed civil rights program. We favor home-rule, local self-government and a minimum interference with individual rights.

The platform went on to say:

We call upon all DEMOCRATS and upon all other loyal Americans who are opposed to totaltarianism at home and abroad to unite with us in ignominously defeating Harry S. Truman, Thomas E. Dewey and every other candidate for public office who would establish a Police Nation in the United States of America.

That's different. Somehow. It just is. You racist!

Right, USMB lefties?

It never ceases to amaze me that the truth in history could be just so elusive to liberals.

There were only 3 that switched to the Republicans despite the myths they like to cling to.

"The strategy of the State’s Rights Democratic Party failed. Truman was elected and civil rights moved forward with support from both Republicans and Democrats.

This begs an answer to the question: So where did the Dixiecrats go?

Contrary to legend, it makes no sense for them to join with the Republican Party whose history is replete with civil rights achievements.

The answer is, they returned to the Democrat party and rejoined others such as George Wallace, Orval Faubus, Lester Maddox, and Ross Barnett.

Interestingly, of the 26 known Dixiecrats (5 governors and 21 senators) only three ever became republicans: Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms and Mills E. Godwind, Jr.

The segregationists in the Senate, on the other hand, would return to their party and fight against the Civil Rights acts of 1957, 1960 and 1964. Republican President Dwight Eisenhower proffered the first two Acts."

As I keep saying (and they keep proving):

Southern Democrats and Southern Republicans, you mean. The same people that with the passing of the Civil Rights bill couldn't switch party affiliation FAST ENOUGH.

Lester Maddox and George Wallace had nothing to do with the Republican party they lived and died as segregationist hate mongering Democrats. Deal with it. They were the men that the Republican Martin Luther King was marching against.

Both Lester Maddox and George Wallace LEFT the Democrat party and joined the American Independent Party, running for further office that way.

You might want to do some RESEARCH before holding up examples like that, Dillow Willow.

they were demoncraps asswipe. charlie crist took Republican money and ran too far away but what he did while in office was a Republiicans can you absorb this information or are you dumb as a box of rocks?

Your research for this post has some serious holes in it. When the Democrat Party became the Party of Inclusion and Civil Rights, your Lester and George LEFT the Party for their own....and others like Strom joined the Republicans. Their racism was not welcome anymore in the Democrat Party....and....they.....left.

She is saying he put a news reporter in his place. You think that's racist?

No wonder our nation is messed up.

I have never in my life seem someone like rdean that reads racism in someone wishing him a good day.He's probably madder then hell that the Oval office is in the "White House"....

I didn't see the exchange...but this guy dean sees a racial insult,slight,what have you in everything.

Maybe the lady thought that the question was out of line and Newt pushed back against it.
I remember the expression meaning that someone was out of line and disrespectful and had nothing to do with race...

But then with rdean everything that happens in the universe on a daily basis is somehow
disrespectful to black people....so sad to live one's life that way.

He hasn't. He's simply been engaging the people to stand against the leftist media.

And doing quite well, don't you think.
