Obviously, this guy is way outside mainstream conservativism, and doesn't represent the vast majority of party members. Still, he will bear the standard for the GOP in this race.

Just when I started thinking I make too many jokes about the South...

Eesh. Not only is it him... but that so many people would actually VOTE for him! Yecch.

We must remember that racism isn't unique to any particular party though. The only member of the house who was once a member of the KKK, Robert Byrd, is a Democrat.

I'm so glad I grew up in a relatively race-neutral part of the country...

but he got three purple hearts, Elfie! SURELY that should count for SOMETHING!

it actually scares me to think that kerry could hold office in a few months. and i mean REALLY scares me. this'd be worse than the idiot that was pres before Bush. (no names mentioned, of course!)

Lest we forget the true feelings of LBJ.....putting on the good boy, I'm all for equality face to the general public, while letting his true colors shine behind closed doors.

I can't say that....growing up in the South is far from race-neutral, but the New Orleans area is a bit different than the rest of the South. While the blacks and whites don't care for each other too much there, there's very little race related agression. Both sides pretty much just keep to their own.

I remember when I was about 12 or 13, my dad was having a conversation with my grandma about racism. He told her that in my generation, if someone disliked someone else based on nothing more than the color of their skin, HE was the person who would be ostracized by his peers, rather than the person of color. When I nodded my agreement to what he was saying, grandma was aghast. That was a concept completely beyond her.

Mind you, she was born in 1902 or somewhere around there...
