William Chancellor Quotes
Warren G. Harding is not a white man. May God save America from international shame and domestic ruin.
The professor had done some historical research on Harding's ancestry going back to the seventeenth century and claimed that Harding had Negro blood.

The Dixie Chicks were a female country singing group that originated in Dallas, Texas. The right wing supporters of President Bush were incensed, and the conservative Talk Show hosts pilloried Maines and the singing group in general. Ironically many of the same conservative pundits who so castigated the Dixie Chicks for their anti-war and anti-president rhetoric several years later were themselves attacking Bush and his Iraq War with far greater intensity and reach than the one small singing group–The Dixie Chicks. This quotation also gives us insight into the Tea Party and ultra Conservatives who were vehement and totally committed to attacking their enemies but who, in a short period of time, could totally flip flop as to who their enemies were. They were quick to jump onto bandwagons, loud and vigorous while they were on, but also quick to jump off.
In Helms bizarre view, the University of North Carolina which had desegregated and had Black students and faculty was communist. In the beginning of the Cold War, the Communists of the world frequently attacked the United States for its Racial Segregation and Discrimination before the Civil Rights Bill was passed. It was one of the great shames and weaknesses of America as slavery had been earlier. Southern racists then conflated the civil rights issue and Communism. Since all communists seemed opposed to segregation, then it followed, they erroneously reasoned, that all opponents of segregation were communists. See {622174} for another of Helms vicious smears using this twisted logic.
Bilbo was one of the worst racists who ever served in the Congress.

The Black campaign staffer was asked if he was anti-Semitic.
President Johnson was trying to organize peace talks in Paris. Nixon didn’t want a public announcement to occur before election day when he was running against Hubert Humphrey. Knowing the South Vietnamese President was reluctant to go to Paris but was under pressure from America to do so, he sent a message through Chennault that he should not accept and “hang on” as Nixon would shortly win. The South Vietnam president refused to go to Paris, Nixon won the election, and then had to cope with the continuation of the war that might well have ended before he took office. Nixon believed that he could get Russia and China to pressure Ho Chi Min to make peace. Nixon's private overtures to the South Vietnam president, violated the Logan Act which prohiited private citizens negoatioating with foreign governments. President Johnson was aware of Nixon's commission of this felony want wanted to prosecute him, but the evicence had been obtained from secret intelligene agency bugging and wiretapping both the South Vietnam Embassay in Wishington and the Presidential Palace in Vietnam the public knowledge of which would have caused a scandal. Instead, he called Nixon and warned him to stop, but the damage had already been done, and the South Vitenamese government would not go to Pariis where they would have to agree to a coalition government with the Communists. THey waited for Nixon to deliver a peace treaty which would leave them in charge of South Vietnam. In the final analysis, the South Vietnamese ended up with nothing and no participation in anything when the U. S. Withdrew and the Communists took over.
William Estabrook Chancellor was an American academic and writer. An opponent of the 1920 Republican presidential candidate, Warren G. Harding, Chancellor gained notoriety when he allegedly wrote a study of Harding's ancestry just prior to the election, asserting that Harding had an African-American ancestor. Chancellor denied authorship, and it has never been proved. Two years later, a biography of Harding was published under Chancellor's name, but Chancellor denied authorship of that as well.
