Yes, yes, I remember Bull Connor. I was alive and sentient back then, you see. I also remember a fact a lot of right wingers really hate to remember -- neither Bull Connor nor the other Dixiecrats were liberals. They were, in fact, the right wing of the Democratic party, and the voters that people like Ronald Reagan successfully courted following Reagans famous "states rights" speech in Neshoba.

Are you at all familiar with the Republican Party's nasty and consistent record of minority voter suppression since the 1980s?
