If you'll stop trying to insinuate that one spitting protestor represents the millions of patriotic americans who agreed the war was an abominable crime against our soldiers, then I won't try to claim that everybody who votes republican believes in burning foreign babies with napalm. How's that for a deal?

I wasn't aware that drug use is any less in the south than it is anywhere else?

I do remember the concerns about Kenedy's faith. I also remember that those concerns were most pronounced in the bible belt.

So it looks like you agree with me that the white southern migration from the democratic to republican parties started with the civil rights movement?

I don't really remember any democratic platforms that contained a "free love" plank. I do remember when (democrat) Richard Daly told his cops to beat the shit out of the protestors in chicago in '68. If the white south was really all about hating protestors and "free love" hippies, that should have cemented them to the democratic party for years.
Oh that's right - I forgot - white southerners were busy voting for George Wallace for president that year.

I've never said that all protesters were the same, however there were many out there spitting on soldiers, calling them baby killers, blocking the soldiers at airports, etc. Do you think it was happening mostly in the south? Hell no! It was going on it counter-culture cities like San Francisco.
The use of LSD was prevalent in the northeast and west coasts (remember that it got it's start at Harvard). It was the hippies that were using it and face it, the south didn't attract near as many hippies as the east and west coasts.
As I said, there will always be someone that doesn't like a presidential candidate's religion.
I've already said that the civil rights movement was PART of the reason for the migration.
The hippies and protesters took to the Democratic party, regardless of what Daley was doing.
It wasn't just the south voting for Wallace. Remember that he won the primaries in Indiana, Maryland, Michigan and Wisconsin.
