Yeah, I heard that one.

Thanks all for the back ground. Someone should tell this to the editors of “The Nation’’ and “Mother Jones’’ but you'd get more acknowledgment of the true history on the subject than if you were talking to a dog.

Henson Moore of LA was falsely accused of this in the LA Senate election of 1986; he was unable to fight back effectively and lost in a Democrat year to John Breaux.

Here is an excerpt I got from Wikipedia under “John J. McKeithen. It is about the 1963 Louisiana governor’s race

“In the runoff campaign, McKeithen rallied the supporters of fifth-place finisher Shelby Jackson by warning of the dangers of a NAACP “bloc vote” for Morrison. McKeithen won the runoff, 492,905 (52.2 percent) to 451,161 (47.8 percent).”

Morrison was former mayor of New Orleans and a liberal. Morrison died about four months later (along with his young son) in a plane crash in Mexico. I think he may have been on assignment for McKeithen.
