'''The interviewer's questions''' are also telling. Had Atwater given different answers, we would likely have a myth that the parties switched in the 1980s. But since they couldn't make that one stick, we receive the narrative that the parties switched in 1964. And again, I contend that everybody should listen to the full 42 minute interview on the tape. It's on the Nation.com reference. [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 11:06, 18 September 2020 (EDT)

:I did listen to whole interview some time ago. It is nothing whatsoever as reported in the ''Nation''. Two big elements are missing: (1) the context in which it was spoken at the time the interview as given, and (2) the inability of a dead man to refute lies about himself which is most glaring from the ''Nation'' article.

==Technical stuff==
:*'' In the 1972 November General Election, for the first time in 40 years Democrats did not have a Southerner on the ticket,''
this is a twisting of facts of almost Democrat proportions; in 1940 [[Hevry Wallace]] of Iowa was on the ticket. This of course, would necessitate writing much about how the [[New Deal]] discriminated against blacks, blacks had been put into their place, domestic issues were on the back burner, [[World War II]] and [[foreign poncy]] dominated the FDR's decision to run for a third term. FDR had already bought off white Southern Democrats with the [[Nanny state]] and opposition to the federal Anti-Lynching bill. But to include this would take up too much space and derail the focus of the article as it now. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Free Kyle!]]</sup> 03:55, 11 October 2020 (EDT)
