His quote about extremism is one of the best-ever from an American politician.

FF, even if I find his 1964 candidacy (and by extension CRA vote) very unforunate and worthy of condemnation.

Net HP, but man, time has done wonders for his image, and I certainly admire any who opposed the rise of the religious right in this country.

Principled, respectable, and still an HP. Warmongering and civil rights are the only things stopping me from switching my vote, because in every other way he was better than any presidential candidate the GOP has put forward since.

I didn't know you were racist for founding an NAACP branch and voting for the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960

I seem to recall him opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1965.

so, in your opinion, he wasn't a racist in the 50s, but was in the 60s?  Seems unlikely.

With a death toll of 0, Barry Goldwater was up there with monsters like Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot in the amount of human suffering he caused in the 20th Century.
