Senator Barry Goldwater Imagines Arizona in the Year 2012

[Plane]

Oh get lost. The fact is that Reagan made an appearance in Philadelphia to deliver a message that he was not going to prosecute past kluxer crimes, and once in office, he did not do so.

   I don't think this is true, and I don't see how it could be.
   The FBI and other justice department parts continued to whittle away at the KKK during the Reagan administration.

     And the Reagan appearance you speak of was just his stump speech wasn't it? It was given at one of the biggest gatherings that is held in Mississippi annually, does a politicians appearance in a community actually endorse all of the crimes that have ever occured in the same area?

      Would an Obama appearance in Chicago be construed as a promise to never prosicute organised crime?

      I don't think any such message was concieved nor understood untill later when some anti Reagan sort came up with the idea that just being there was a message.


    By the way , Reagan starred in an anti -KKK propaganda movie, as a G man on their case.
      Can you decode the hidden endorsement of the KKK in that?

   

In Storm Warning, Ginger Rogers stars as a model visiting relatives in an unnamed small town. She happens to witness the beating death of a man at the hands of the KKK. Rogers soon discovers that the whole town is controlled by this vigilante group, and that her loutish brother-in-law Steve Cochran is one of the group's members. D.A. Ronald W. Reagan is the man who breaks the stranglehold of the hooded terrorists--through the simple expedient of walking into one of their meetings and calmly identifying each of them by name. ~ http://www.fandango.com/stormwarning_v111826/plotsummary

Reagan the actor did what he was paid to do. Reagan the President was no different. As an actor, he believed the roles he was given. He did not have the face to play a villain, and he was given no villain roles for that reason.

He was sent to Philadelphia to give the appearance that he would not prosecute Kluxers, and then he did not prosecute them. De La Beckwith stayed out of prison for a couple of decades longer.

 Many a Kluxer who would have stayed home in the absence of a George Wallace to vote for, came out and voted for Reagan. I do not believe that Reagan planned anything he did. He was simply acting. Every morning the handed him a script, and every day he followed that script, He believed all the bullshit they told him. That is why he was chosen. He had proved his loyalty to Big Business by working as a spokesman for GE for over a decade.

Good thing we have Xo, who "obviously" was right there amongst Reagan's inner circle, to tell us what really happened, especially in light of the Federal prosecutors who, as demonstrated by Ami, DID bring up civil rights charges against "Kluxer crimes", while under Reagan's authority.  I'm curious why no book deal

Regardless of the fact that De La Beckwith was not involved in the crimes at Philadelphia, and also regardless of the fact that Reagan's administration prosecuted "Kluxers".

What did any president ever do about DeLa Beckwith?

[Xavier_Onassis]

The FBI investigated the case and cooperated with the locals in providing information to convict him.

In any event, Goldwater would be a RINO compared to many of the 'bagger bunch.
