<<On other issues they may have been more conservative than the average Democrat, but "hard core conservatives through and through" is a stretch at best. But if we for the moment say they where conservatives, all that shows is that some conservatives where racist (or pandered to racists), it says just about nothing about conservatives in general even at that time, let alone 46 years later. It says even less about Republicans (and remember your initial statement, which you have not backed away from, was about Republicans not conservatives) It is not a stretch to say the were hard core conservatives. It is the bible belt for gods sake. And conservatives today are doing the same thing with the gays they did wiht the blacks. soem still do. The very conservative Republican party just voted to the person, to not lift DADT. And they have been bashing gays no end. Gay bashing is exactly the same issue as racism. Exactly! and exactly the same groups are on the same sides. Exactly. Liberals with the gays and conservatives bashing them. Always the same story.
