Michael Zak, pseudo-”historian”, is afraid of a very simple question:
In the context of 20th century US politics, what is the “southern strategy”, what was it used for, and which party employed it?
Zak likes to reach back into 19th-century American history for examples of how Republicans are the friends and protectors of minorities. But he’s afraid to discuss the recent history of the Republican party — especially the southern strategy.
How do I know he’s afraid of the question? Every time I post the question to Zak’s site, he deletes it. It’s obviously waaaaaaaaay too scary for him.
Gotta wonder why. Mikey, what kind of “historian” doesn’t want to talk about history?

What sort of ‘historians’ don’t want to talk about history? Fraudulent ones who don’t know what they’re talking about!
Why are wingnuts such cut-and-runners?
