From Daily Kos
Yes, there is a segment of the conservative movement that believes itself the next incarnation of the confederacy:
NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland - A panel at the Conservative Political Action Committee [CPAC] on Republican minority outreach exploded into controversy on Friday afternoon, after an audience member defended slavery as good for African-Americans.
The exchange occurred after an audience member from North Carolina, 30-year-old Scott Terry, asked whether Republicans could endorse races remaining separate but equal. After the presenter, K. Carl Smith of Frederick Douglass Republicans, answered by referencing a letter by Frederick Douglass forgiving his former master, the audience member said "For what? For feeding him and housing him?" Several people in the audience cheered and applauded Terry's outburst.
After the exchange, Terry muttered under his breath, "why can't we just have segregation?" noting the Constitution's protections for freedom of association.
This is either horribly frightening, or the most epic troll of all time.
This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
