The GOP's New Fake Racial History

[CrusaderFrank]

So, can anyone tell us why the Republican Party nominated Barry Goldwater for president in 1964?

Barry Goldwater, one of only SIX Republican Senators to vote against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The very first major action of the Republican Party, nationally, post-Civil Rights Act, was to reward one of its few opponents, from their own ranks,

with the nomination for President.

For Goldwater the issue was not color, but states rights and individual liberty, for LBJ it was "These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us"

The LMSM had a media monopoly back then was was able to, are you ready for this? Paint Goldwater as the racist!

Is that a scream!?

LBJ called his own SCOTUS pick a ****** in 1967 and Goldwater was the racist!

I was kindof young when Goldwater was running. I remember the main accusation was he was a serious warmonger.

You want to pretend it was racism that drove Goldwater's vote -- but that's wrong.

Republican senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona voted against the bill, remarking, "You can't legislate morality." Goldwater had supported previous attempts to pass Civil Rights legislation in 1957 and 1960 as well as the 24th Amendment outlawing the poll tax. The reason for his opposition to the 1964 bill was Title II, which he viewed as a violation of individual liberty.​

The issue for Goldwater was a daft notion that states rights trumped civil rights, which was fucking insane.

He voted AGAINST civil rights. The law was NOT unconstitutional, as history has proven.

His reward? The Republican nomination, and overwhelming support from EX-DEMOCRATS in the South,

EX-DEMOCRATS who saw that LBJ and the northern LIBERAL Democrats no longer wanted the segregationists in their party.

So Goldwater believed racism was immoral, but the government had no business legislating against it?

lol

Did he believe pedophilia was immoral? Did he believe stealing was immoral?

[For Goldwater the issue was not color, but states rights and individual liberty...

So who do you agree with, exactly?

Goldwater, who voted WITH all those Southern Democrats you people are calling racists?

...or the 80% of Republicans who voted FOR the Civil Rights Act?

Be a man. Take a stand.

So you can read minds of dead people now? Did you learn that from John Edwards?

You just might as well save yourself keystrokes and repeat: "There are no, nor have there ever been, racist Democrats."

It'd be just as accurate as what you're doing now.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Post after post after post portraying Democrats as racists for voting against the Civil Rights Act,

and then suddenly Barry Goldwater, who stood WITH them, gets a magical free pass.

I think most of my work here is finished.

You're fucking retarded. Seriously. You cannot make a post without attributing something to someone that they never said, or implied.

What is wrong with you, exactly?

Really? You're NOT claiming Goldwater's vote was driven by racism?

Do you really expect anyone to believe that?

 

[Trajan]

but again, your red herrings are pathetic. what individuals do is nothing in comparison to what the GOP did as an institution -- Institutional Racism

and the proof to support this allegation ..is?

I've known for a long time exactly what drove Goldwater. I read his book. Have you?

I'm merely pointing out that Democrats in the South began voting Republican after the Civil Rights act, and their support of Goldwater is the first, best example.

one of the quotes that never dies;

overheard by a reporter for the wash. post in 1966..." they said if I voted for Goldwater we'd be at war in a couple of years. Well, I did and we are"....

Then why are you implying he was racist?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

and the proof to support this allegation ..is?

A sitting GOP Chairman apologized specifically to the black community and Americans in general, for the GOP's bigoted southern strategy -- the strategy that became institutionalized after white southern conservative Democrats left the DNC for the open arms of the GOP after the civil rights act 0f 1964 was passed.

so you don't accept his objection that states right should trump top down imposition of Federal mandates? Why not?
In any event, sounds like a philosophical argument to me....despite his previous votes and behavior you choose not to accept this, that he did have an honest objection to title 2 and all that entailed, that doesn't make him a racist. You have built your own straw-man argument and knocked it down......
