Was she right or wrong??? Blacks may not like it, but was it right?
She was wrong.
Oh, she provided accurate information, but she left out key details.
This is otherwise known as a "half-truth", which, as any student of Immanuel Kant can tell you, is a lie.
Ms Coulter is a lawyer, and is especially skilled at half-truths.
In this case, she alluded to the fact that Democrats had been against the Civil Rights movement in the 60's, which is true as far as Southern Democrats are concerned.
But she then neglected to mention that every single district that had been represented by said Southern Democrats at the time were now Republican districts, mainly due to the fact that they blamed LBJ for Civil Rights being passed and the resulting fallout.
She then went on to use this half-truth to support another lie in which she proposes that "there was no southern strategy".
The irony of course is that blaming democrats for Civil Rights was in fact part of the Southern Strategy.
