Quote Of The Day: Rush Limbaugh On Bill Clinton
Rush…heh heh…
“We’ve gone from Bull Connor to Bull Clinton.”
For those who may not get it, Bull Connor in Wiki:
Theophilus Eugene “Bull” Connor (July 11, 1897, Selma, Alabama – March 10, 1973) was a police official in the Southern U.S. city of Birmingham, Alabama during the American Civil Rights Movement. He was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and a staunch advocate of racial segregation.
As the Public Safety Commissioner of Birmingham, Alabama, in the 1960s, Connor became a symbol of bigotry. He infamously fought against integration by using fire hoses and police attack dogs against unarmed, nonviolent protest marchers. The spectacle of this being broadcast on national television served as one of the catalysts for major social and legal change in the South and helped in large measure to assure the passage by the United States Congress of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; thus Connor’s tactics dramatically backfired into helping to bring about the very change that he was opposing.
