LOL (again) another new effort by a RWer to establish a universal truth which isn't, by an appeal to ignorance and an appeal to authority.
BTW, have you yet figured out the type of demagoguery you alleged?
Again, I point out that democrats are shameless liars. Anyone who cares to check can easily confirm that the segregationists were leftists. Will you humiliate yourself for your filthy party by claiming that Fritz Hollings was "conservative?"

Oh but that doesn't count, right? I mean whitey votes Republican - democrats hate whitey - ergo the Segregationists were Republican. Party above all, amirite?
So what about Faubus? You lying fucks love to claim he was "conservative," doncha?

You are joking right? Segregationists were liberals? Bet they were the slave owners who fought that progressive Abe and the progressive Teddy too right? lol
Conservatives Try to Rewrite Civil Rights History (Again)
White Southerners jumped ship from Democratic presidential candidates in the 1960s, and this was followed by a similar shift on the congressional level, and eventually, the state legislative level. That the former two took time doesn’t discount the first.
I’m still unsure of what this revisionism is supposed to accomplish. If it’s to appeal to actual African American voters, you might want to try a different approach, since this one won’t work. But if it’s to assuage guilt and assure conservatives that they are, and have always been, on the right side of history, then—to borrow from President Obama—please proceed.

Rewriting History
You see, a half-century ago the Republican party was virtually nonexistent south of the Mason Dixon Line. Oh, sure, there were a few people in that region of the country who identified themselves as Republicans, but the majority of them were black – and not allowed to vote! In the former Confederacy, white people were almost exclusively registered with the Democratic party.
Why you ask? Because none of these jackasses could bring themselves to register with the party of Republican Abraham Lincoln: “That ******-lovin’ bastard that freed the slaves.” Let’s face it, a grudge is a grudge – even a century after the fact. That all changed in the mid-nineteen-sixties.
When President Johnson signed into being the Civil rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, it marked the end of the “solid south” for the Democratic party. At the time, Johnson told his two aides Jack Valenti and Bill Moyers, “We’ve lost the south for a generation.” It turned out to be an optimistic prediction.
The Southern Strategy
In 1968, the Richard Nixon campaign, sensing the outrage and resentment of nearly all southern Democrats, devised a strategy to win over the hearts and minds of the nitwits who controlled that party in Dixie
