Allen,

The key to this is that the Reagan campaign chose Philadelphia, Miss. to kick off the campaign and the association it had in everyone's mind with the murders of the three civil rights workers in 1964. It's much less about what he said than what he did.

I see that TS makes the point about Brown versus Board of Education. Not a bad point.

But I think the content of the speech is beside the point; it's the setting and the track record of the Republican Party by that time.

This is all, of course, historical arcania but it is important to note what is guilt by association and what is not.
