"he does not recall even a hint of any of the racism or anti-Semitism that Bannon is accused of today"
That's because it doesn't exist. If you're a Republican, being accused of these things has become a mandatory exercise for the left. If you can demonize Mitt Romney you can demonize anybody. It doesn't mean that it's true, but it makes the virtue signalers feel even better about themselves to say it. Most of the left's hysterical conniptions these days are nothing more than an exercise in self congratulation.
In American politics, the southern strategy was the Republican Party's policy to gain political support in the South by appealing to the racism against African Americans harbored by many southern white voters.[1][2][3]
As the African American Civil Rights Movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened pre-existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South to the Republican Party that had traditionally supported the Democratic Party.[4] It also helped push the Republican Party much more right.[4]
In academia, "southern strategy" refers primarily to "top down" narratives of the political realignment of the South, which suggest that Republican leaders consciously appealed to many white southerners' racial resentments in order to gain their support.[5] This top-down narrative of the southern strategy is generally believed to be the primary force that transformed southern politics following the civil rights era.[6][7] This view has been questioned by historians such as Matthew Lassiter, Kevin M. Kruse and Joseph Crespino, who have presented an alternative, "bottom up" narrative, which Lassiter has called the "suburban strategy". This narrative recognizes the centrality of racial backlash to the political realignment of the South,[8] but suggests that this backlash took the form of a defense of de facto segregation in the suburbs, rather than overt resistance to racial integration, and that the story of this backlash is a national, rather than a strictly southern one.[9][10][11][12]
The perception that the Republican Party had served as the "vehicle of white supremacy in the South," particularly during the Goldwater campaign and the presidential elections of 1968 and 1972, made it difficult for the Republican Party to win the support of black voters in the South in later years.[4] In 2005, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a national civil rights organization, for exploiting racial polarization to win elections and ignoring the black vote.[13][14]
It was called "the southern strategy," started under Richard M. Nixon in 1968, and described Republican efforts to use race as a wedge issue -- on matters such as desegregation and busing -- to appeal to white southern voters.
Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman, this morning will tell the NAACP national convention in Milwaukee that it was "wrong."
"By the '70s and into the '80s and '90s, the Democratic Party solidified its gains in the African American community, and we Republicans did not effectively reach out," Mehlman says in his prepared text. "Some Republicans gave up on winning the African American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."
Mehlman, a Baltimore native who managed President Bush's reelection campaign, goes on to discuss current overtures to minorities, calling it "not healthy for the country for our political parties to be so racially polarized." The party lists century-old outreach efforts in a new feature on its Web site, GOP.com, which was relaunched yesterday with new interactive features and a history section called "Lincoln's Legacy."
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean spoke to the NAACP yesterday and said through an aide: "It's no coincidence that 43 out of 43 members of the Congressional Black Caucus are Democrats. The Democratic Party is the real party of opportunity for African Americans."
GOP Presses Case for Prosperity
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) and Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.) today will launch a House Economic Competitive Caucus (EC{+2}), which will focus on reducing barriers to job creation. DeLay plans to point to "a chance to empower small businesses, consumers, students, individual employees, investors, and families."
Worried about Congress's standing in polls, Republicans are stressing devotion to promoting prosperity. House Republican Conference Chair Deborah Pryce (Ohio) and House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) held a news conference to claim that, as Blunt put it, the plans by Bush and the Congress "to grow this economy have worked, and they're paying big dividends." Half the questions were about Karl Rove. None was about the economy.
Social Security Fades Into Fall
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) now thinks he may not begin consideration of Social Security legislation until September, an aide said. Thomas told an Associated Press reporter yesterday that, "The issue is dealing with more time-sensitive legislation first." He said Social Security "is not time-sensitive, and we are going to pass CAFTA," the Central American Free Trade Agreement, before Congress begins its summer break. Thomas, referring to a congressional trip to Cape Canaveral, Fla., that canceled votes yesterday, said: "There's no hang-up on contents. It's just how many days we got and how many space shuttles don't get off the ground."
Quotable
White House press secretary Scott McClellan, asked about a cartoon portraying reporters as sharks: "It may not look like it, but there's a little flesh that's been taken out of me the past few days."
Question: "Where?"
McClellan : "Like I said, it may not look like it. [Laughter] I can assure you that it has been."
<<If you can demonize Mitt Romney you can demonize anybody.
What kind of capitalism is Trump's? In a sense, it's a variation of the kind of capitalism that made Mitt Romney rich; Romney's capitalism exploited private enterprises by buying them and stripping them of the value they accumulated during the period of large-scale material capital investments and strong unionized labor (1947 to 1980). Corporate raiders like Romney attacked companies for their assets, which took the form of constant capital and value retained by labor rights that were instituted in the 1930s to save capitalism and avoid universal democratic socialism.
I think Steve Bannon is an interesting guy. I would much rather hang out with him than Pence. That said I’m not down with starting a holy war with Islam. I don’t see the point or the end game. As for the racism charge the left has its share of them too, the difference is we don’t make them advisors to the president, and before you say he is not a racist I will say he is way worse than a racist. He is someone who openly tolerates racist and encourages them in order to further his agenda.
Anyway I thought that was humanizing look at Bannon, but by posting it I was apparently having an hysterical conniption. Please point me to the humanizing articles of Hillary and Obama on right wing sites.
Unreal that people are defending this prick. Have you even read that shithole he runs?
Thom I believe you have said you have a daughter? Do you agree with the recent breitbart story that high schools and colleges should limit the number of women "allowed" to register for math and science classes?
yeah, there are a few weak "conservative" deadheads thats for sure. Ann Coulter, Bannon, ,Thom, you are in a classy group. If Bannon "grew up" what does that say about you?
Most of the left's hysterical conniptions these days are nothing more than an exercise in self congratulation<<<
I'm going to type this as soberly as possible: the apparent fact still remains, there's what amounts to a mobster in the Oval Office with the football by his side.
