Why?  Is it wrong to have an opinion?

Having an opinion isn't wrong. Certain opinions are very wrong.

Why?  Is it wrong to have an opinion?

Opinions might not exactly be wrong but they can be idiotic and bigoted.

Exactly. These anti-Obama people are members of the Republican Party, but of late it seems that they are really members of the Fascist Party.

FASCISM? HA that's funny.  You wanna talk about fascism, join the democrap or should i say media party.

George Wallace is far from Conservative, he wanted to spend more than the Great Society and New Deal Combined. I question your Conservatism. Mechaman *Snaps* take care of him.

Alright! Let's begin:

Strom Thurmond campaign 1948
The States Right's Democratic Party:
Positions:
Racial Segregation: ie Not allowing the races to mix and preventing the sexiness of interracial love. My sworn enemy of political positions. If I ever get a non-white girl pregnant and she has twins I'll name them "Strom" and "Thurmond" to piss all over his legacy.
Wanted to retain Jim Crow Laws: "Separate but equal" bullsh*t.
Supported the idea of white Supremacy: In other words, anybody who isn't a member of the white race is inferior. And somewhere in Thailand opebo is laughing his ass off.
Opposed racially integrating the armed forces for the same reason why dumbasses oppose getting rid of "Don't Ask Don't Tell": It'll mess up the morale of the troops!
The whole platform was flat out racist, anybody who would support such a ticket are racefags of excessive degree.
Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_Rights_Democratic

George Wallace campaign 1968
American Independent Party:
Still pro-segregation: The douchebaggery of this position never ceases to amaze me.
Campaigned on the "Stand up for America" bullsh*t calling for a return to the times before those derned hippies took over!
Only purpose in election was to force the election to be decided by the House of Representatives to which I ask: Why bother?
Ran a facistic law and order campaign that included putting those derned hippies in their place!
His vice presidential runningmate suggested that nuclear weapons could be used in Vietnam! World War III bitches!
Was the most extreme anti-hippie facist ever! He made Reagan look soft! He pledged to run over any demonstrators who got in front of his limousine and asserted that the only four letter words that hippies didn't know were "w-o-r-k" and "s-o-a-p". Hey Wallace! F-u-c-k y-o-u you dead piece of s-h-i-t! What does that spell!?
Accused Humphrey and Nixon of wanting to radically desegregate the South...big friggin deal!
His campaigning attracted the attention of the FAR RIGHT, including the ape sh*t John Birch Society.
As to emphasize how much he loves running over hippies: "I tell you when November comes, the first time they lie down in front of my limousine it'll be the last one they ever lay down in front of; their day is over!"

You must be logged in to read this quote.

As most of you sanes can tell, George Wallace was just as bad, if not worse, than Strom Thurmond when he campaigned for president. For one, Strom didn't talk openly about running over American protestors or nuking the hell out of foreign nations. If somebody put a gun to my head and told me to vote for either of these guys, I would tell them to empty the barrel in my mouth.

This kid has got to be joking, or he's prophetman.

Umm duh.  It's so funny to watch you guys overreact and trip over yourselves on this board.  I can't believe you actually thought I was serious.

Explain.

[Хahar 🤔]

Marokai, you would have voted for Nixon in 1972 but not in 1960?

[Хahar 🤔]

Marokai, you would have voted for Nixon in 1972 but not in 1960?

Aye. JFK was inspiring and exciting and had a broad range of new ideas. Nixon didn't have a great rep at that time, and not even Eisenhower could really stand him.

'72 was a different time, after a chaotic period (and my first vote against him) I would've voted for him hesitantly since I wouldn't have a great deal of objections to the way his presidency was shaping up.

Eh, I think that JFK in 1960 was all style and no substance. His new ideas primarily consisted of building more weapons. If we look at running mates, you have a pronounced contrast between the liberal Lodge and the right-wing Johnson.

I mean granted, they did get alot of votes in the south but Stevenson and Kefauver were both pretty pro Civil Rights, in Stevenson's case I would argue even more so than Eisenhower, hell Adlai Stevenson would be considered a bleeding heart liberal peacenik today. The only way I could see your comment working is based on the fact that he won some of the Deep South states that at the time were so Solid Democratic that they would probably vote for Stalin if he had the word "Democrat" in front of his name. Stevenson was to Eisenhower's left when it came to civil rights, not his right.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Politics
Kefauver was also pro-civil rights, as exhibited by his refusal to sign the Southern Manifesto in 1956, the same year he ran as Vice President.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Manifesto

That is why I'm kind of confused by you calling this ticket "racist".

Have you read Master of the Senate? Stevenson sold out to the South in '56.

Sorry Xahar, I don't have enough time to read random political books. However, I really don't see what makes Stevenson's run in '56 any more racist than say EVERY DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN BEFORE TRUMAN.

Yes, but those were before the convention of 1948.
