-- John Kerry, on Martin Luther King's assasination. Trouble is
that
Kerry
wasn't in Vietnam until November 1968.

This will attrack a lot of Republican voters in the south, they
will vote for Kerry in droves when this gets out.
Thanks for the heads up.


Why would that be?

"and the tragic news that one of the bullets
flying that terrible spring took the life of that unabashedly
maladjusted citizen."

Southern whites tend to be Republican and HATE Martin Luther King.

You obviously haven't been anywhere near the South. The people who are
racist are racist regardless of their political affiliation. I'm on
the conservative side and I think that MLK was one of the greatest
speakers of this century who fought for what he believed in. Hate to
say it but most of the uneducated backwoods racist people down here
(whether white or black) seem to be Democrats.

Not saything that all racists are Democrats or all Democrats are
racists, just noting a trend down here in Georgia.

I stand corrected and apologize.

Like I said, could be just a trend in Georgia. I've pretty much lived all
over the state; from the peanut farming south to Hotlanta where I
currently reside.

Who knows?

Well in the South, there is a long tradition of calling oneself a
Democrat, even though politically, one might be slightly to the right of
Attila the Hun. The reason for these so-called 'Dixiecrats' stems from
the fact that Abraham Lincoln, and more importantly, Andrew Johnson,
were Republicans. Republicans who were in power when the War of Northern
Aggression started and continued with Reconstruction.

So I wouldn't put a lot of stock in a Southern racist calling themselves
'Democrats.'
