Riverman, see the post below yours. That makes the necessary distinction. As you yourself said, these people were true-blue Republicans. That doesn’t mean they were conservatives. They are different animals — increasingly so everyday, I’m afraid.
Very true but I think the liquor flow also had something to do with the extreme nature of their comments.
I have noticed that sometimes”conservatives” who have had a little too much sauce can get pretty nasty in race related matters.
Same with liberals who when sober are Roosevelt old school Democrats but sound like Marx and Mao after a few glasses of Chardonnay.
Alcohol releases the Id,thats for sure.
