Pat Buchanan On Haley Barbour

(MSNBC commentator!) Pat Buchanan, commenting on Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour's recent and ridiculous statements about the White Citizens Council in the Yazoo, Mississippi of Barbour's youth: "No one has contradicted the facts as stated by Haley, that the Citizens' Council of Yazoo City consisted of 'town leaders' who did not want any Klan violence ripping their town apart." I almost stopped there but kept reading, finding this: "But if Haley had meant to leave the impression that the White Citizens' Councils were promoting peaceful integration, that would have been laughable. Like almost all the U.S. senators from the 11 states of the Old Confederacy who signed the Dixie Manifesto opposing the Brown decision, the White Citizens' Councils believed in massive resistance to integration." When even Pat Buchanan corrects you . . .
