It was liberals voting for the 1964 civil rights act and conservatives voting against it. Conservatives always try to pin this on dems.

Liberals always try to pin it on conservatives by changing definitions. The fact is, it wasn't conservatives who were fighting the civil rights act, it was southerners in general and, of course, southern democrats in large numbers since there weren't too many southern republicans.

But I guess it's ok to change definitions to suit your agenda.

Most dixiecrats didn't leave their party. Al Gore's dad stayed in the party. Clinton's mentor, J Wm Fulbright, ditto. Robert KKK Byrd, Jimmy Carter (started on school board to keep white and black schools separate), etc all stayed Democrat. Thurmond and one other guy in SC changed partys.
