You have a whole pack of these guys, who left the Dixiecrat Party, a part of the Democratic Party, went over to the Republican Party. |

Democrats quickly noted that Mr. Thurmond ran against Truman in 1948 as a segregationist Dixiecrat. |

He was a traditional segregationist, though the one-time Dixiecrat had reconciled with the national Democratic Party by the time he became Armed Services chairman. |
|
Essentially the anti-immigrant movement, the Patriot movement, and old-fashioned Dixiecrat racism are all merging. |
|
Ethridge's rhetoric was virtually repeated by Strom Thurmond five years later in his 1948 presidential campaign as a Dixiecrat. |
|
By 2004 it had become clear that he was a classic Dixiecrat masquerading as a Republican. Unfortunately, too many of us waited until after the 2006 mid-term election to make our views known. |
|
He forgets to mention that the old Dixiecrat faction of the Democratic Party became a central element of the GOP in those red states where racism still thrives. |
