Re: Gee, did you know that most of the KKK memebers back in the Good Old Days [*] when it mattered were good Democrats and also hated Jews? When Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, he said the Democrats were writing off the South for the next fifty years. He was right, though it didn't happen overnight. Taking the side of African-Americans against southern whites was the right thing to do, but it gave southern whites a perpetual animus against liberals, which they retain even if they now see that desegregation was both moral and sensible. You saw the result Tuesday night. There were no blue states south of Maryland. But you understand the red states have changed. They don't hate minorities any more. At least when they are talking to minorities. Besides, this season's scapegoat is the gays, not the racial and ethnic minorities in this country.......at least not yet. Hitler started with the Jews; these guys are starting with the gays.
