Rachel Maddow on Haley Barbour’s ‘New Fake History of the South’ (video)

Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi is trying to rewrite the history of the United States. In Barbour’s mind, the Republican party is the champion of desegregation, and the 60s were some kind of integrated paradise. This attempt to collectively forget the past, to ignore the scourge of racism and its cost, and replace it with one that won’t nag on Southerner’s conscience is despicable. Barbour is a fraud, or worse.

    FU$%ING MORON!
    The really SAD thing about this GARBAGE is there are people that take what is being SAID without doing ANY background!
    The MORONS that are SPEWING things like this seem to think that there is NO WAY anyone is gonna ask ANY QUESTIONS…
    Thank you Rachel… Keep it up!
