Flags or Symbols of Hate and Racial Discrimination?

As is typical for you, you are getting all of your information from a single source whose agenda is to pretend McCarthy wasn't an idiot.  You might want to dig a little deeper before making yourself look more ignorant than you already have.

And you got your info from a source that made him sound that way. What's the difference? You believe one I believe the other. It's only our opinions based on our choice of sources which is all we have since few people are left from back then to ask and even then it would depend on who you asked what their view of things was.

Y is exactly right on this. Had a History professor in college who even said this almost exact same thing that Y posted  about the Dems and Republicans from the Civil War.

If it was a liberal college and a liberal prof, yes, that's what he would say.

Jeezus!  Are you really that dense or just trolling?

I have a feeling that she will never reach the bottom.

You have to be beyond ignorant! It doesn't matter whether it was a liberal arts college or a major university which I have attended both and had several History professors state the same thing as Y posted but you wouldn't know what any professor has stated!
Do you even have a clue what liberal arts means? It means that all students regardless of what major they choose should have a solid grounding in all liberal arts subjects in addition to their major. It doesn't mean that the person is a liberal! SMH!

I pick dense when she seems to think that just because it is a liberal arts college that one must be liberal. I wonder if they go to a fine arts if that means they are fine in that art?

McCarthy's rights trampling rampage is well documented and led to his censure. He spent the balance of his time afterwards drinking himself to death; which came in the form of severe hepatitis. . .

In fact, just taking this stroll down memory lane convinced me of something though. Ted Cruz is McCarthy all over again!

You picked your references, I picked mine so we each have an opinion of what went on based on what we chose to believe. Yes, his tactics were wrong and those I do not agree with but he was right about most. I am done trying to discuss with people who are supposedly educated who can only name call and put down others with differing opinions. That is juvenile to say the least and I got out of grade school a long time ago and grew out of that.

You picked ONE! Can you find any hint in that? Where is the consensus?

Wow!

  There isn't anything more sexy that an old pickup truck with a rifle in the back window.   Loaded with a bunch of hillbillies flying a big rebel flag of stars and bars.

Back in my early days when I played in a rock band, we got a gig in Savannah, GA. I was still living in the mountains of southwestern Virginia at the time, so we loaded up our hippie vans with all our gear and headed south. At that time Easy Rider was a hit movie and the ending was fresh on my mind as we drove through rural South Carolina. Everywhere we saw old pickups with gun racks in the back window. Man, we were a bunch of scared hippies!

   Say?  Did any of those  places  you played at have chicken wire in front of the band so the crowd couldn't hit  you with beer bottles.

As a matter of fact, yes! We played in a few places like that. The one I remember most ... back when I was in high school, we played at a place in Squire, WV called Russell's club. Plus they had sawdust on the floor to absorb the chewing tobacco spit.

Huh, my dad would never let his girls go to a place like that, but he did drive us to church in the back of his red pick-up truck. We even had benches, one on each side of the cab, to sit on.
