Yep.

Fifty years ago.

Then came Nixon's southern strategy, and the racists like Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms fled wholesale into the welcoming, open arms of the GOP.

As recently as 1991 the GOP was still giving gubernatorial nominations to the likes of David Duke, not to mention falling all over the uber-racist Helms.

Meanwhile buffoons like you bleat "But! But! Fifty years ago some Democrats were racist!". That's all you've got, because you know the racists have long since fled to the Republican Party.

Just look at that field of contenders: Romney, Palin, Bachmann, Trump. Could anyone possibly be surprised if David Duke decides to jump in, too? I'm waiting for some bookie in Las Vegas to give odds on Rush Limbaugh being the next to declare his candidacy.

My sources are already referenced at the beginning of the thread, from a well regarded and known site. Not some random website no one has ever heard of before. To ask for references and then claim in the same sentence that there are none is about as dishonest as anyone can get.

Not that I expect any less, but still I had hoped for more.
the claimant provided data to backup their claims.

I don't recall the dems throwing Byrd out.

David Duke just wants to remove Zionist-influence in US Politics.

Wait, you honestly believe that the Democratic party is full of racists, but the Republican party is not? That's hilariously naive, if not willfully ignorant.
