They did used to fight integration and were responsible for Jim Crow and all the rest of it. The entire south used to reliably vote Democrat in every election. The southern states are a sea of unbroken blue on every election map of the fifties and sixties. But then the Democrats signed the Civil Rights bill and told all their politicians to get on board or get out of the party. The GOP saw a huge opening here and became the party of white racism and now the south votes reliably red in every election.

Oh I seem to recall that. I guess you don’t know the details cause LBJ pulled a fast one to get that one signed in the south. You may not be aware but LBJ said if we pass this bill we will have the blacks voting for us for the 100 years. Although he didn’t use the word blacks. So nice try Kirk but your take on US history is a bit off. Go to the Brexit thread I’m sure you have that perfect

Fox news takes the cake when it comes to bullshit. They make the working class seem like satan while the rich are the poor inncent victim. My head hurts just watching it.

Who do you find reliable or at least not make your head hurt. CNN and MSNBC just took a big ratings hit due to all the false BS they portray. I find fox ok but I mainly watch the business news for stock info. For the past two years when I watched CNN it was 24/7 all the proof that Trump collided with Russia and how mueller would have everyone in the White House in handcuffs

I get all my news from either Jussie Smollet or the Jewish world review.

Could not agree more. All media are liars on a scale not seen since the days of Hitler. they had nothing on Trump. What is not being reported that this also clears Putin. Let's remember it was Hillary Clinton who was attacking Putin. When it comes to lying Hillary Clinton is the Heavyweight Champion of the world. As I said before my beef with Fox is making the working class as some lazy piece of shit while rich are suffering. They can barely make it. And yes people believe it.

What he actually said when he signed the bill was to the effect that the Democratic party just lost the south for a generation. Or fifty years or something like that. Turns out it's going to be longer than fifty years. Getting ten percent of the country to vote for you at the expense of the eighty odd percent white majority at the time doesn't seem to me like a smart political move. And it wasn't! It was the right and moral thing to do though.

I don't want to know about the Brexit thread. It looks likeit's going to be the biggest self inflicted economic disaster any country has ever managed to achieve.

Here are some actual facts on the whole thing. Graphs and everything. This is a good read:

Have to say speaking of cnn etc. I actually have come to the point where I don't mind Chris Cuomo at all. Couldn't stand him at first when show debuted but as far as 'fair' and substantive on that network he is apart from the others. On MSNBC maybe I can catch some of Williams but Giraffe neck and Chris Hayes forget about it. Fox can be some patronizing whory apple polishers..namely Hannity..but I'll watch Neil Cavuto and actually miss Bill O'Reilly.
