Why is Salon concerned about the demise of the Republican Party?
Oh, they’re not.
Both men state facts.
Wallace did come around I believe in his later years finding ways to protect Constitution's state rights without racial overtones.
Trump is the latest Joseph McCarthy
We can only hope so, McCarthy was PROVEN TO BE RIGHT!
Picking up where Tailgunner Joe left off, the anti-communist John Birch Society fought mightily in the early 1960s to get America out of the UN. They also accused Ike of being a communist and posited more conspiracy theories than JFK had mistresses. The wide-eyed Birchers were out in full force at the 1964 Republican Convention held at San Francisco’s Cow Palace. When moderate Republican Nelson Rockefeller called for some restraint he was met with boos from the JBS crowd and fellow right-wingers. “Rocky” might not have been a commie, but he was a paragon of the elitist Eastern establishment, which was bad enough. In 1964, with Birchers running amok in the Cow Palace, many delegates zipped their lips rather than cast aspersions on the party’s far right fringe. Barry Goldwater, who won the nomination in San Francisco, did little to distance his party from the hordes of treason screamers of the radical right. Goldwater lost in one of the largest landslides in U.S. history.
To take a page out of Churchills quote
Joe- Yes sir I am but tomorrow morning I’ll be sober.
When will the GOP realize that leftist media never offer valid advice? All conservative candidates could improve their fortunes by doing the opposite of whatever is recommended by Salon and its ilk.
I don’t anticipate that Trump will win the nomination, but real conservatives in the race should watch and learn: say what you mean, don’t back down and treat establishment political consultants with the low regard that they richly deserve.
I think you know what I meant.
Four years later the former Alabama governor and arch segregationist candidate George Wallace fought for the presidency as an ardent culture warrior. Wallace sunk to new depths of populist demagoguery. Once known as the fighting little judge for his exploits in the boxing ring, Wallace would prove to rednecks everywhere that they were the true victims. Liberals and minorities were destroying this great nation, Wallace shouted on the hustings. He famously said if protesting, unwashed hippies laid in front of his car, he’d have his chauffeur flatten them like pancakes. Only a fiercely maintained law and order would set things right.
Obviously someone let their children near the computer over at Salon, George Wallace was a PROUD DEMOCRAT, At the forefront of the KKK and Jim Crow Laws.
....because the guys at Salon desperately want a Republican president....
Trump must really be on target and hurting the progressives a bunch for so may pantywaist media types to be going after him with all the mud and name calling they can gather.
Enh, it’s July. The GOP has had dingier dingbat leading the race at this point.
The Leftist Saloon rag thinks we don’t know that the Democrats are running a Socialist and a lifelong Communist disciple of Saul Alinski. Guess which one Hilary is?
Where the men need wrist braces.
Joseph McCarthy was a drunk...So was U.S Grant. Who won?
You are exactly correct.
The GOP made their own BED .. now they get to lie in it and I hope it chokes them. They have nowhere to go but in the sewer.
They will NEVER be able to outdo Trump - he knows where all the bodies are buried.
