“Sherman’s aggressiveness, ....‘demoralized Confederates, hastening the end of slavery and the reunification of the nation.’”

“Katzenbach reveals, with some glee, how he was told by Bobby Kennedy that JFK wanted him to make Wallace look silly,….”

The Conservatives Are Going To Get Creamed With This

"Thank You!"

They just can't help themselves - from projecting:

Religious right leader Ralph Reed compares Obama to Jim Crow segregationists

The conservative activist compares the first black president to George Wallace

History - already not the conservative's friend - won't be kind,...

“ Something there is in the gothic air of southern politics that seems to corrupt our greatest talents, our largest spirits, our most promising sons. It seems to send them whoring after the whole gallery of strange gods.”

-- Paul Greenberg in 1998, reflecting on George Wallace - the southern politician who famously blocked the schoolhouse door to blacks (above) and, just as famously, swore he'd never be "out-niggered" - in the Jewish World Review

"The conclusion that Bill and Hillary drew from the ensuing reverse at the polls: 'The lessons were plain: never be outnegatived again.'"

-- Christopher Hitchens (discussing Martin Walker's coverage of an early Bill Clinton campaign for The Guardian) in Hitchens' excellent little tome on the Clinton way of politics, "No One Left To Lie To"

"As long as Hillary Clinton is willing to spend the money and energy needed to continue her campaign, she,...starts to sound like a reincarnation of the late George Wallace.

USA Today has published an interview in which she explained again why she regards herself as a more viable general-election candidate than Barack Obama -- except that this time,...citing an Associated Press analysis 'that found how Senator Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me,' she went on to say: 'There's a pattern emerging here.'

OW: The Secret Works!

"Oprah Winfrey can’t catch a break this year.

One of her beloved dogs died earlier this year after choking on a plastic ball. Her school in Africa is embroiled in scandal. A thyroid problem has her packing on the pounds again.

And now she has pulled a discredited children’s book, Forrest Carter’s The Education of Little Tree, from a list of recommended titles on oprah.com, blaming an archival 'error' for including a work considered the literary hoax of a white supremacist. First published in 1976, the book was supposedly the real-life story of an orphaned boy raised by his Cherokee grandparents.

It was later discovered to be written by Asa Earl Carter, a Ku Klux Klan member and speechwriter who wrote former Alabama governor George Wallace’s infamous vow: 'Segregation today! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation forever!'"

Yea, that "Law Of Attraction" works like a charm. I wonder why more people don't point this out, now that OW is suffering so much? And, considering her "positive" outlook on life, how did she attract a thyroid problem, or any of these other difficulties, in the first place? She did say she's been practicing The Secret her whole life, didn't she? Whatever.

As far as I'm concerned, these horrible things couldn't be happening to a nicer person,...
