Come on, that is the old right wing attempt to shift the blame to the Democrats, just as they try to do, claiming Lincoln. Just like with Lincoln, who was a Republican when that party was the liberal party of the northeast free states, and the Democrats were the Southeast slave states; so the Democrats who filibustered the 1964 civil rights act were the "Southern Dixiecrats" who today are mostly Republicans.

As LBJ said when the progressives got the 1964 civil rights act passed:" we just lost the south for a generation" ! It was prophetic and right on. After the 1964 civil rights act the South started becoming and voting Republican.

And the dirty little secret was the Republican's Lee Atwood Southern strategy which was going to the south with "dog whistles" telling the people:" vote for us and we will not enforce the 1964 civil rights act any more than we have to e.g. busing and affirmative action, etc.

So having said that, you either don't know your history very well, or you are doing the same thing you accused Warren of.
