The extremist right deny the Southern Strategy.
However, it is taught in high school and college, so their argument will never have an impact.
Jakematters, you leftist fuckwad;
Which of your fellow racist democrats became Republicans? George Wallace? Bull Connor? Orval Faubus? Robert Byrd? Bib Graves?
What? None switched parties? You're just lying because you're a scumbag without a shred of integrity?
Knock me over with a feather...
Regardless of their criminal activity, is or isn't the Aryan Brotherhood a White Supremacist group?
It would depend on what you defined a "White Supremacist" group.
If you define a group based on their rhetoric, the AB would qualify as a White Supremacist group.
If you define a group based on their actions, the AB would be more of a criminal organization than race-based one.
I would categorize the AB in with other prison gangs, rather than with groups like the Aryan Nations, or any other skinhead/neo-nazi group.
My definition of a White Supremacist group is when a number of White individuals are all members of a group which preaches White supremacy to others in the hope of gaining new members and pushing their agenda. I suppose that makes a White Supremacist group different than people who, while they may hold racist views within a group setting, they basically just keep their racist views to themselves.
See "Republican Southern Strategy". The racist Klan Democrats were right wingers. Conservatives. Big time Christian bible thumpers. Virulent anti-communists, anti-integration, pro Defense.
Now they are Southern Republicans.

Need I say more?
And pray tell what party would those "Democrats" be in today? If you've say they would be in the party to nominate and elect the first black president you would be wrong.
Oh boy here comes another liberal trying to strereotype every Republican in the South as racists. But what you don't realize PJ is that the Democrats introduced the idea of white supremacy during the Civil War. That's right, the KKK was founded by Democrats.
Your argument is a drastic failure.
I think you might have jumped the gun on your "righteous outrage" there.
No one said or implied anything like what you're claiming.
When has that stopped the GOP victim-complex?
The Conservative Fantasy History of Civil Rights -- Daily Intelligencer
<excerpt>
One factoid undergirding this bizarre interpretation is that the partisan realignment obviously took a long time to complete Southerners still frequently voted Democratic into the seventies and eighties. This proves, according to Williamson, that a backlash against civil rights could not have driven southern whites out of the Democratic Party. They say things move slower in the South but not that slow, he insists.
His story completely ignores the explicit revolt by conservative Southerners against the northern liberal civil rights wing, beginning with Strom Thurmond, who formed a third-party campaign in 1948 in protest against Harry Trumans support for civil rights. Thurmond received 49 percent of the vote in Louisiana, 72 percent in South Carolina, 80 percent in Alabama, and 87 percent in Mississippi. He later, of course, switched to the Republican Party.
Thurmonds candidacy is instructive. Democratic voting was deeply acculturated among southern whites as a result of the Civil War. When southern whites began to shake loose of it, they began at the presidential level, in protest against the civil rights leanings of the national wing. It took decades for the transformation to filter down, first to Congressional-level representation (Thurmond, who Williamson mentions only in his capacity as a loyal Democrat, finally switched to the GOP in 1964), and ultimately to local-level government. The most fervently white supremacist portions of the South were also the slowest to shed their Confederate-rooted one-party traditions. None of this slowness actually proves Williamsons contention that the decline of the Democratic Party in the South was unrelated to race.
UncensoredDerSturmFronter,
Got caught, did ya? I am not the only one who says you post there.
You can deny it if you wish.
Strom never a prominent segregationist? He formed a third-party campaign in 1948 in protest against Harry Truman’s support for civil rights.The Conservative Fantasy History of Civil Rights -- Daily Intelligencer

Oh, so Strom Thurmond switched parties - though never a prominent segregationist, and that suddenly makes all the dims Republicans.
ROFL
You racist leftists are such fucktards.

We have a victim complex? Which party is encouraging black voters to use their past as a cudgel? Who is it encouraging people to make the most of their victimhood? We have a victim complex? Absolutely hilarious!

More like the Mexican drug cartels extending their influence here in the US of A. Twenty rounds at the DA? Probably even done with a weapon originally from 'Fast and Furious'. 'White Supremacist Groups' is more likely the spin MediaMatters told the rest of the MSM to put on it. Worry about who really did it, if and when the actual perps get caught. By then, the damage to Conservatives will done and irreparable in the public eye.

Wonder if Soros would have the cojones to bite down on a glass cyanide capsule like Himmler did when he was captured when Soros, himself, gets captured after the next civil war ends?

Caught? You lying little fuck? You know cocksucker, that you have to resort to outright lies simply shows what a weak mind you have. Piss off fool, you're going on ignore.

Strom Thurmond was from my state. He was a prominent segregationist, AND DEMOCRAT who switched parties ONLY AFTER THEY VOTED FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964!
Upon defecting, Thurmond decried that the Democratic Party had:
"...forsaken the people to become the party of minority groups, power-hungry union leaders, political bosses, and businessmen looking for government contracts and favors... invaded the private lives of people by using the powers of government for coercion and intimidation of individuals... encouraged lawlessness, civil unrest and mob actions... [and] nominated for vice president a key leader of the Americans for Democratic Action, the most influential Socialist group in our Nation."
Now, as it seems, some of the traits he listed, ARE CORE PRINCIPLES OF THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PLATFORM!

125 million out of 313 million people voted in last year's election, that's little less than a third. How does that make them popular? Your post is irrelevant. Besides, what you cited is from the Electoral College, not the popular vote.
