I remember vividly wathcing Arthur Bremer cripple George Wallace in a failed assassination attempt in 1972 and he won the Maryland and Michigan primaries the next day. Sincerely,  Dan Matthews To: oconee@yahoogroups.com From: ppriest@charter.net Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:14:07 -0500 Subject: [oconee] angry Southern conservatism up for discussion   The Oconee Democrats' book group will be discussing "The Politics of Rage: George Wallace, the Origins of the New Conservatism, and the Transformation of America Politics" for our last meeting in 2013.

Because our usual last Wednesday of the month falls so close to Tha...
