So the NRO is going to forget the realignment of parties in the 50s and 60s and their racist founder

There are so many lies on this article... I thought about giving a rebuttal but it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
The GOP is in defense mode right now, trying to disassociate themselves from the confederate flag-waving Bubbas who make up their base (while counting on their votes nonetheless).
She's basically saying "yeah, we defend that flag now but we're not racist... The racists died before the GOP took over the South"
I especially love how she conveniently dismissed Goldwater's vote against the 1964 CRA, his subsequent campaign on that vote and win in the deep South (while losing the rest of the country).
The funniest thing is how some conservatives claim that "Martin Luther King Jr was a republican". A man they hated when he was alive and called a "race-hustling communist"
Here's what MLK had to say when the GOP welcomed racist white southerners into their party in 1964 (by nominating Barry Goldwater for president three months after he voted against the Civil Rights Act):
The GOP share of the black vote dropped from 34 percent for Nixon in 1960 to just 4 percent for Goldwater in 1964. That's when they lost the black vote for good.
King voted for JFK and LBJ too. He was also murdered while organizing a UNION protest (we all know how much republicans love unions)....
Nixon's Southern Strategy cemented the modern GOP as the party for the racists in 1964. It's been the playbook for winning Republican elections ever since, Sarah Palin drew hard from it when she was running with McCain.
The problem for them now is that the demographics have changed and the GOP (especially post-Obama) can't tell which white people will respond to the racially divisive dog-whistle speech and which won't, so it's not as effective. They still use it all the time though - adapting it for Mexicans, women, gay people, ect - because their only other election strategy seems to be gerrymandering districts. That's why 2016 is going to be so much fun to watch.

Romney won the white vote by the same percentage as Reagan did in 1980, but he still lost.
The reason? Diversity. The electorate was 90 percent white in 1980 but only 72 percent in 2012 (it's been dropping by 2 percent in every presidential election).
If anything, white people are still overrepresented at the polls (they make up 62 percent of the population now).
It's the Latinos who are underrepresented (18 percent of the population but only 10 percent of the voters).
Modern GOP: Hey, blackie! DId you know democrats were the original KKK??? I bet the public school you went to didnt teach you basic history! The democratic party was anti-civil rights, and voted against the bill at a higher percentage than the republicans --- the party of Lincoln and the true friend to the black man. :smugbiden
Black guy: Okay. Thanks for the history lesson. I appreciate the knowledge. Well can we take the democratic confederate flag down from govt. buildings and other public lands since as you know its very offensive as it explicitly stands for slavery and....
Modern GOP: What!!!! Slavery and Jim Crow happened way in the past! God, cant you blacks ever get over it! That flag stands for heritage, not hate! How is taking down a piece of cloth going to get you to take care of your kids, get a job, stop being a thug, and encourage you to not live off the hard working white man??? Let me tell you something boy, the real problem with you blacks is...
*Black guy quietly walks away, while GOP guy drools all over himself ranting over black people*

That was 50-40 years ago. Do you expect Ford, Toyota, or any organization not to change?? Come on now, of course the Dems want to erase their racist past. They have champion themselves to the be the party of progressives and liberals. Yes the Republicans in many instances were against segregation those days have changed. Look at Texas, Rick Perry went from a Democrat in the 80s to a Republican in the 90s. The whole of business and politics is hardly ever static especially in the good ole USA. Also you gotta remember the party realignment of the 60s.
