Well at least the true GW was...according to the great Artur Davis:

I've tried to like that fucking clown. Even did a little work with his campaign a long time ago.
But this is the same old race baiting never-let-it-die shit that I simply can't abide.
George Wallace was a politician. He did what he had to do to get elected (by the people who could fucking VOTE, dammit) and did what he believed was in the best interests of the people he represented. Period.
Artur's dumb fucking race bating dipshit ass isn't aware that Wallace first ran on a moderate platform and was soundly beaten by an opponent who had the public backing of the Klan. Here's a tidbit Davis probably didn't know. Wallace was such a fucking moderate on segregation that he was fucking endorsed by the fucking NAACP in that 1958 race.
You can't impact policy if you can't get elected. And you can't get elected if you can't win. So, seriously?
FUCK Artur Davis and his myopic viewpoint. Fuck him long.

I knew you would have insight into his BS opinion.
Its easier to vilify Wallace than to accuse a whole generation of "still voting" white folks of being evil racists.

Our esteem U.S. Attorney general has no problem do that.

Here's quiet confirmation of something I've told you people all along, something that GCW told me himself in person.

The Stand in the Schoolhouse Door, the famous one in Foster Auditorium, was entirely scripted. I'd come back to work for John Blackburn, in the dean of men's office, and we already had Jimmy Hood, enrolled, in the dormitory and in his room. You know that was a scripted event to demonstrate that desegregation had ended, and the people who needed, whatever, exposure at that time got it.
Wallace was tarred and feathered nationally for it, but he did what was in the best interests of the people and state he served at the time.
Great man.
