There Was No 'Southern Strategy'

[PoliticalChic]

I guess that is what you get when you quote Ann Coulter. She is just Andrew Breitbart with a larger adams apple

What does Coulter use to claim there was no Southern Strategy? Jimmy Carter took the south in 1976? After Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment and former Georgia Governor Carter runs against unpopular Ford, Coulter has the nerve to use this as justification the Southern Strategy didn't exist?

Breitbart would have been proud of Coulter/PC

You mean I was able to prove the point....

....isn't that what you mean?

The point being that your posts are your pathetic attempts at being a Coulter wannabe?

We whipped you pretty good.

My public service: dispel the southern strategy myth!


My across-the-aisle pal wrote this: "…segregationist voters who blamed civil rights on the Democrats, swiched loyaties to new Republicans who now embraced their views. Republicans ran against busing, against afirmative action, against equal rights legislation…The south has been Republican ever since.

Another Leftist-progressive fairy tale...



From chapter 12 of "Mugged," Coulter
1. “In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party strategy of winning elections or to gain political support in the Southern section of the country by appealing to racism against African Americans….the strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard Nixon and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater[6] in the late 1960s.” Southern strategy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


2. According to this liberal myth, Goldwater and the Republicans were racists and used racism to appeal to racist southerners to change the electoral map. To believe the tale, one must be either a reliable Democrat voter, and/or be ignorant of the history of the time.

3. Goldwater was one of only six Republican senators to vote against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He did so on libertarian grounds, opposed to the act’s restrictions on private property which he believed beyond the Congress’s powers under the commerce clause. Five others supported the party’s presidential nominee.

a. Goldwater went on to win five southern states in 1964: Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina. But he lost eight.

b. Democrats build the ‘southern strategy’ tale on the fact that the same states voted for ‘Dixiecrat’ Strom Thurmond in 1948 (less Georgia).

c. Except that Nixon and Reagan lost, or almost lost the same states in ’68 and ’80…

d. And Jimmy Carter and Clinton did pretty well in those states in ’76 and ’92.

e. And the 'Goldwater states' went right back to voting Democrat for decades…




4. So…if Republicans were racists and got racist southerners to vote for them, how to explain this: Republicans always did best in the southern states that Goldwater lost, which happened to be the same ones Republicans had been winning with some regularity since 1928.

a. In ’28, ’52, ’56, and ’60, Republicans generally won Virginia, Florida, Texas, Kentucky and sometimes North Carolina or Louisiana. Did you notice that those years were before 1964?

b. Four years after Goldwater, the segregationist vote went right back to Democrats: Humphrey got half of Wallace’s supporters on election day. Nixon got none of ‘em.

“When the '68 campaign began, Nixon was at 42 percent, Humphrey at 29 percent, Wallace at 22 percent. When it ended, Nixon and Humphrey were tied at 43 percent, with Wallace at 13 percent. The 9 percent of the national vote that had been peeled off from Wallace had gone to Humphrey.” The neocons & Nixon's southern strategy - Pat Buchanan - [page]

c. In ’76, Carter swept the South. Was Carter appealing to bigots….or is that only the case when Republicans win the South?





5. Reagan lost or barely won the Goldwater states…but Reagan won among young southern voters- but lost among seniors, those who has voted in ’48 and ’64. That meant that the segregationists never abandoned the Democrats: eventually they died or were outvoted by younger voters. Nope…after Thurmond’s run, the Dixiecrats went right back to voting for Democrats for another half century.




6. In writing about McGovern and Wallace, liberal luminary, Arthur Schlesinger, actually referred to Wallace voters as responding to their candidate’s “integrity”! “The primaries themselves, especially the success of McGovern and Wallace, provide the best evidence for the proposition that voters in 1972 care less about a candidate's stand on particular issues than they do about the candidate's integrity,…” How McGovern Will Win

Get that??? Segregationist 'integrity'!!!

a. McGovern gave a tip-of-the-hat to the segregationist Wallace in his acceptance speech at the Democrat Convention. That was the exact midpoint between Goldwater and Reagan. So…what of the imaginary “southern strategy” where the Republicans were supposed to have a plan to appeal to racists?

b. Democrat McGovern: “And I was as moved as well by the appearance in the Convention Hall of the Governor of Alabama, George Wallace. … Governor, we pray for your full recovery so you can stand up and speak out for all of those who see you as their champion.”
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH OF SENATOR GEORGE MCGOVERN


Again? "so you can stand up and speak out for all of those [racist Democrats] who see you as their champion.”


The Democrat Party: slavery, segregation, sedition and secularization.



How you like that, booooyyyyyeeeeee???

"Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman apologized to one of the nation's largest black civil rights groups Thursday, saying Republicans had not done enough to court blacks in the past and had exploited racial strife to court white voters, particularly in the South."

"Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," Mehlman said at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."

"Mehlman's apology to the NAACP at the group's convention in Milwaukee marked the first time a top Republican Party leader has denounced the so-called Southern Strategy employed by Richard Nixon and other Republicans to peel away white voters in what was then the heavily Democratic South. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Republicans encouraged disaffected Southern white voters to vote Republican by blaming pro-civil rights Democrats for racial unrest and other racial problems."

Point #1

Uh Hum.

I posted this in another thread.....Item #3 is especially pertinent for your, Faulty:


"Today, 90% of black Americans vote for democrats. 60 years ago, blacks voted for the party of Lincoln because all the racists were in the democratic party. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why that has done a 180."

So your answer is that the reason is that the Republicans were racists?

So that's why you're not a rocket scientist!!!

If Bill Clinton, 1993- gives medals to lifelong racists,....your view is that blacks switched because Republicans are racist?
Brilliant.

Ready for an education that you've sorely in need of?

1. FDR put a KKKlaner on the Supreme Court, and refused to desegregate the military, but was more than happy to put blacks on “Irish welfare,”- government jobs.

With the growth of government and welfare under the New Deal, black progress was ineluctably tied to the growth of government. And that is where the black vote went.

Northern blacks; in the South, Democrats still wouldn’t allow blacks to vote.

2. Black playwrite Zora Neale Hurston: “Throughout the New Deal era the relief program was the biggest weapon ever placed in the hands of those who sought power and votes…Dependent upon governmentfor their daily bread, men gradually relaxed their watchfulness and submitted to the will of the “Little White Father,”… WORLD | History turned right side up | Marvin Olasky | Feb. 13, 2010


3. And, since the 60's, both the efforts of the schools and the media have been controlled by those same Leftists who went from protesting to these areas.

a. The radicals of the sixties did not remain within the universities…They realized that the apocalypse never materialized. “…they were dropping off into environmentalism and consumerism and fatalism…I watched many of my old comrades apply to graduate school in universities they had failed to burn down, so they could get advanced degrees and spread the ideas that had been discredited in the streets under an academic cover.”
Collier and Horowitz, “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About The Sixties,” p. 294-295.


b. “The radicals were not likely to go into business or the conventional practice of the professions. They were part of the chattering class, talkers interested in policy, politics, culture. They went into politics, print and electronic journalism, church bureaucracies, foundation staffs, Hollywood careers, public interest organizations, anywhere attitudes and opinions could be influenced. And they are exerting influence.” Robert H. Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” p. 51



The result....folks like you who never learned to do their own thinking, but accept the propaganda.
