CJ, > Whether or not Reagan was racist is irrelevant. He played to those who were. And your attempts to nuance it are a little pathetic. Not as pathetic as your attempts to spin Herbert's column, which started with a description of a heinous racial double-murder, then places Reagan's "states rights" speech squarely within that context as if the "white and, at times, raucous crowd of perhaps 10,000" (in Herbert's sensational words) were all advocates of that crime. Or your attempt to run away claiming victory, just like Herbert did in his column. (The liberal's favorite argument is that there is no argument.) Or your attempt to accuse me of the very tactics you yourself are guilty of time and time again, namely "spin" and "nuance." Or your repeated attempts to make ad hominem attacks against me, but not directly addressed to me. Taro is right on the mark when he said, "Bob Herbert, arguably the worst columnist at NY Slimes." What he forgot to mention is that Bob Herbert has MANY allies ... Tenchusatsu
