After he got shot and spent the rest of his life in a wheel chair. So this photo isn't about hanging out with a racist.

I have seen that podium.

Including Clinton ---let's globalize, everyone will be in high tech, outsource outsource outsource, woo-hoo, economic boom.

Really, fuck him, he sold us out, helped kill unions, he is sitting with his dinosaur (I hope) friends in that pic.

Clinton was a rookie governor, Wallace had just regained his old job in part by embracing civil rights as an issue, and Bush was the sitting Vice President. Regardless of differences on policies, back then government professionals talked to each other and were able to put work ahead of political posturing.

Let's not superimpose our own modern values of 24 hour hatred and scorn on the behaviors of people from the distant past. If we can forgive Lincoln for being slow to the come to the side of Abolitionism, certainly we can forgive Clinton for drinking a Diet Pepsi when there's a perfectly good Mountain Dew sitting right there in front of him.

Y'all don't get to the same table by accident.

Ya dance with those what brung ya!

If only Clinton's legacy could argue in his favor, but NAFTA, outsourcing, etc., just bring him closer to the source of our current despair.

Guilt by association? No, guilt by his deeds.

Hillary, too. Possibly worse.

he looks much like the gun toting racisits we see today.
Power hungry brutality never seems to go out of style.
