In a discussion of the "racial gap" in this year's election, Sullivan declared all southerners to be racists and are sliding back into the civil war. "If Virginia and Florida go back to the Republicans, it's the Confederacy, entirely. You put the map of the civil war over this electoral map you got the civil war," he said.
George Will correctly dismissed Sullivan's ranting as poppycock. Will noted that Democrats have been steadily losing the white vote since 1964 and that it has nothing to do with Barack Obama being black.
Will didn't mention it, but one of the interesting tidbits of information from the 2008 election is that Obama won the largest share of any Democrat running for president since 1976 -- not just any black Democrat, but any Democrat. If the country was so racist, how did that happen? He won 43 percent of the white vote in 2008.
But Sullivan persisted in his claim of racism repeatedly calling the southern states "the Confederates" and claiming that every southern state but Florida and Virginia voted as a block against Obama in 2008.

Why is this cs getting our attention?
Are all your vaccinations up to date?
Colorado also disproves the thesis. AIDS dementia.
Of course they would have to be. /s
Exactly. He also claimed to allegedly be a supporter of Reagan and Thatcher at one time. If that were true, how could he support someone who’s well to the left of Mondale and Dukakis now?
I could be wrong, but are blacks in the old Confederacy better off than those in Chicago ,Detroit, Philadelphia, Washiungton DC, where they are dying by the thousands?
How many times a day do you read of murders in the Southern States compared to the cities I mentioned.
How about California’s blacks.
No I would say the black man in the south is much better off and has a better chance of survival. Even in New Orleans,but I have to admit New Orleans is a craphole.
“Like”? :)
Chris Matthews said the same thing almost verbatim. Not surprising since they all drink from the same well of ignorance.
I want the union to stay together, but there’s much to like about states’ rights and minimizing Federal power.
I can use my dog’s anti-tick rub.
You bite, you die.
More like if they go for Obama, its the United Soviet Socialists Republic and the Gulag Archipelago all over again. A vote for Obama is a vote for tyranny.
Good point. Could have substituted “Barack Obama” in that phrase, too.
That should work.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the Brits keeping their aristocracy if they choose, but I don’t care what one old Queen has to say, why should I care about another?
Whites and blacks alike are far better off in the South. As cited in a prior post in this thread, the South embraces liberty with its solid Right to Work stance. Gun rights are respected in what was once the the Confederacy and, of course, guns are an essential component of freedom. Furthermore, Dixie is, by far, the most God-fearing region of America. God, guns and liberty are what the Founding Fathers envisioned for America. The South now represents the best of what America is all about.
How’s the barebacking doing, Andy? Is your HIV past the blood/brain barrier yet? It sure seems to be the case.
the Tea Party is so "racist" that Herman Cain was one the GOP candidates winning a majority of Tea Party support, and likely would have continued to had he not fallen on his own troubled past
Conservatives in the GOP are so "racist" that guys like Allen West are among their "favorite sons", as are women like Mia Love.
Conservatives are so "racist" that the eminent economist Thomas Sowell is among the ecnomists they admire the most.
To Liberals [like Sullivan] Conservatives and the GOP are "racist" because Conservatives seek to help so-called "minorities" escape both the Liberal intellectual reservation and the Liberals' government plantation society. To help promote the myth of their "racist" claim, Liberals must ignore, and work to help the media ignore, and the public remain ignorant of, all the "non-white" persons who have never resided in or have escaped from the mental chains of Liberalism. ©Wuli 2012
Raise high the Bonnie Blue, lads!
Like David Brock, Andrew Sullivan has been a barking moonbat since he “came out.” The difference is that Andrew had some writing skill to begin with.
