Lester Maddox, Georgia's last segregationist governor and a white restaurateur who closed his business rather than be forced to serve blacks, died last week, and neither ABC, CBS nor NBC could bring themselves to tell viewers that this man was (gasp!) a DemocratActually enjoyed the article until right here. From hearing other Freepers and from what I've read Lester Maddox was a good man. His views at the time might not be PC today, and ignore the fact that the real story has been rewritten, but he was a good man nonetheless

They couldn't say bigoted and democrat in the same sentence? At any rate, of course some FReepers would say Maddox was a good man because they have his mentality.
