A number of center-right and New Media outlets have noted Politico Magazine's disingenuousness in the opening photograph in its "Race and the Modern GOP" article.
At the item's top is the iconic "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door" photo showing onetime segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace "try(ing) to block the entry of two black students" into the University of Alabama. The aforementioned article title appears beneath the words "History Dept." The magazine is clearly trying to lead anyone not old enough to remember or anyone unfamiliar with U.S. history to believe that Wallace, who ran for president as a Democrat in 1964 and 1976 and as an Independent in 1968 and 1972, was a Republican. The writeup by Doug McAdam and Karen Kloos waits a dozen mostly long paragraphs before finally tagging Wallace as a Democrat.

Please see picture, I will try to put it in the next post.
I think the Daily Caller had one of the first stories on this:
At this point they’ve dumbed down the population’s knowledge of history to the point where they could claim Calvin Coolidge used to lynch blacks on the White House lawn and get away with it.
George Wallace...as a GOPer. What next, Eugene V. Debs as a radical libertarian?
The only laudatory thing that this 'RAT did was put Curtis LeMay on his ticket in 1968. But Wallace arranged for General LeMay to undo that otherwise good move.
Ping.
Prolly The Won as a Christian.....
The 1966 College debate topic was “Foreign Aid”, so in 1967 our 8th grade debate team picked up the subject.
The teacher made clear that using a quote from George Wallace was NOT a credible source.
For those not familiar with the nature of Debate, you are assigned a position to support and defend. You don't get to choose.
You said "White House" in the same sentence that you mentioned lynching of blacks. Is that racist? We should rename the "White House" so as not to be so offensive.
(while I am being cynical here, the day is comming when it gets changed to "The People's House". Mark my words.)
The MSM doesn’t care about things like facts
bump
nothing honest about today’s MSM
Not any worse than Republicans bringing back Jim Crowe laws.
Wallace and his running mate Curtis LeMay actually ran as the `American Independent’ party in `68, but George was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat.
This article is just more hallucination and psychotic rambling from the Party of the (old rich white racist) People. We hates `em, Precious.
I did not know that about him.
Will you help me spread the word?
George Wallace was not the only one. Who can forget Orval Faubus the Democrat Governor of Arkansas? It took a Republican President to call out the national guard to open up the public schools for black children.
And for all that, Ike and Lincoln, - the Democrats continue to spread the lie that they are the party of racial equality.

If some anarchist lies down in front of my automobile, it will be the last automobile he will ever lie down in front of.
The only four letter words that hippies don't know are w-o-r-k and s-o-a-p.
Had the hippies analyzed Wallace's platform, they would have found themselves in total agreement. Both were strong advocates of socialism. And Wallace demonstrably carried out such a program while Governor of Alabama, being the heir apparent of the radical leftist and fellow DemonRAT, "Big" Jim Folsom.
A I think back on those decades, it now seems a sure thing that the leftists of the hippie movement were actually in cahoots with Wallace. It's plausible that were a false flag operation to rile up good Americans to vote for Wallace since he acted (and it was only that, a charade) as if he were opposed to them.
