Yup. It's quite a show how ignorant today's "progressives" are. |
More or less ignorant than someone who doesn't realize that Wallace wasn't a Democrat in 1968 when Ray volunteered for him? More or less ignorant than someone who doesn't realize that there were (and are) conservative Democrats? |
Takes a real ignoramus to completely ignore the factual information that was posted showing Wallace was not a Democrat and had split with the Democrats over segregation in 1968, which is when James Earl Ray volunteered for him. "Yup." |
He became an independent. How do you get from this set of facts that Ray was a conservative? |
Because segregationists are conservative. |
You're making things up. You and yours own killing MLK. Kennedy that's another story. |
Hot take: murder isnt conservative OR liberal |
No one ever said it was. But segregationists are not liberal. |
You know that Republicans went hard right to woo the racists and realigned the parties. Both Wallace and Ray would be MAGA today. |
It is still ahistorical to say Ray was a conservative and to insinuate conservative ideology contributed to MLK's murder. Ray was a violent criminal before he ever killed MLK. |
Why is it ahistorical to attribute conservatism to a segregationist? Do you even know what conservative means? I didn’t call him a Republican. |
+1 Really astounding. Can you imagine how fast these LWNJs would lob "racist!" at anyone else saying the same words? Fake and hypocritical partisans. |
DP. Whooooooooooooooosh... |
Because republicans pretend that the Southern Strategy never existed and that southern democrats in the 60s are the ancestors of the modern Republican Party |
Ray opposed civil rights of Blacks. That is and was a reactionary conservative point of view. |
