One of the guys in '64 was a crazy racist right. Was it him. I really wasn't around back then.

'64 was Democrats Johnson and Humphrey v. Republicans Goldwater and Miller

Johnson (ole "guns n' butter") was accused of racism in Texas but he's the guy who started the federal welfare program(s) that went straight down the crapper with waste, mis-management, etc.

Goldwater was attacked for his hawk opinions (he was a general in the USAF Reserves), his suggestion that Soc. Sec. needed serious revising and he wanted the US govt. out of the electricity business (TVA). But never racism.

George Wallace, Democrat Alabama Governor, ran in '68 as an independent and was chastised for folks' perception that he was racist. He may or may not have been but he sure wasn't crazy. Just sly as hell.
