Barry Goldwater opposed civil rights, NAACP member???

Goldwater was one of a narrow minority that opposed the Civil Rights Act.
His opposition was rooted in fear of the creation of a "police state" to enforce the provisions of the Act. (no "legislation of morality"; preemince of "states rights")
The Goldwater campaign events in the south in 1964 were labeled as "carnivals of white supremacy" by some observers.
