I never knew William F. Buckley was this much of a racist scumbag.

[HootieMcBoob]

Sweet Merciful Crap!!! Get a load of this stuff. I found this over at Eschaton. What a freakin' bunch of scum the national review is. Oh...this link is full of evil so enter at your own peril: http://www.amren.com/009issue/009issue.html#cover

1. We should never forget

The entire right has racism as one of its founding principles. We should never let them try to put a pretty face on their "movement."

[indepat]

10. The blatant racism that underlies most RWers, IMHO, is veiled only

by a paper-thin veneer of hypocrisy.

[Elbowroom]

2. some of his other crap

"The Beatles are not merely awful. They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of antimusic."

Willam F Buckley Jr.

[Jacobin]

3. Oh, and an erudite music critic as well!!

/sarcasm

What a bunch of losers these pontificating gas bags are.

[MikeG]

6. The racist stuff I assumed with him.

He still doesn't like the Beatles?

Give up the ghost, Buckley, the days of swing and jazz being hip are over.

[misanthrope]

11. If you're dissin' jazz...

...please allow me to lift a middle finger in your direction. Thank you.

[MikeG]

12. I like jazz. It's just not hip anymore.

Deal with it, OK?

[misanthrope]

14. I guess that depends...

...on your definition of "hip," now doesn't it?

[mitchum]

15. But neither are The Beatles

[Hubert Flottz]

4. To W F Buckley!

Go F yourself Pizza Face!

[yellowcanine]

9. Correction: "Go Chaney yourself Pizza Face!"

Chaney is the preferred replacement for the eff word on these boards.

13. I might talk nasty, but I hate to talk that Farking nasty!

Why is Dick so sore?

[physioex]

5. Funny...

That's how Raygun came into to power by divinding the south by using terms like "states rights", and most southern whites know what that means. Note: I have to give Guy James credit for bringing this point up....

[MrBenchley]

17. Reagan kicked off his 1980 run for president

where the three civil rights workers were murdered...and talked only of "states rights."

He also tried hard to get tax breaks for Bob Jones U. and other segregated schools...and opposed renewing the Voters Rights Act.

[madfloridian]

7. Read The Republican Noise Machine by Brock.

I thought I knew a lot about the media, but I have been stunned.

[yellowcanine]

8. The dirty little secret about many conservatives is that they supported

segregation openly as long as it was a politically feasible position. And they continued to use racial code words after that such as "states' rights, quotas, etc. long after that to win the votes of racists. And the most egregious of those who practiced covert Jim Crow politics were the many Dixiecrats turned Republicans after the success of Nixon's Southern Strategy in 1968 and 1972. We are just supposed to forget that all of this happened, even though many of the worst offenders (including Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson) have never truly repented of their unChristian attitudes toward African Americans in the 1950s and 1960s.

[MrBenchley]

16. Oh yeah...I knew that...

One of the constant themes of his idiotic newspaper columns in the 1960s was attacks on the civil rights movement and African Americans in general.

And I know someone who encountered the dessicated scumbag in public during the Reagan years with a bunch of his fuckwitted sycophants, where he said out loud, "In a civilized society, Bishop Tutu would be a bar of soap."

What a worthless piece of shit.
