159 - The "Southern Strategy": From Nixon To Reagan To Limbaugh, The GOP Has Used Racism To Further Its Political Agenda / Health Care QuickBlast
Today, an examination of the GOP's institutionalized racism, extending from Richard Nixon to Ronald Reagan to the current de facto head of the Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh.
Starting in the 1960's, the Republican "Southern strategy" used racist appeals to garner the support of whites who were upset at the Democratic Party for leading the effort to enact civil rights legislation.
You'll get some powerful talking points to use the next time you're told by a right-winger how wonderful Ronald Reagan was. I call them, the five pillars of Ronald Reagan's racism. You'll also hear an especially sickening audio clip from Limbaugh.
To close out the show, a killer QuickBlast for the health care debate. You'll see how the right wing has scored a big fat zero with its health care reform proposal.
(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!!)
Scheduling note: episodes of Blast The Right will be posted every three weeks.
