Last night, in an interview with TPMDC, former Reagan administration official Jeffrey Lord said the entire Democratic party is the true repository of racism in the United States."I have felt for a long time that my friends on the American left, in the Democratic party have just had this atrocious history with racial issue," Lord said.
If this guy worked in the Reagan administration he's sure to be aware of successful Republican plan to build their base with racists. We used to have a bunch of racists in the Democratic party but they all left to join the Republican party (well, except for Robert Byrd and he's no longer with us). But this guy needs to be careful. Part of the Southern Strategy was to let everybody know the right is racist, lest some folks not get the message and remain in the Democratic party. Telling them now that it's actually the Dems who are racist may undo some of their hard work.
