host obviously has 'issues' with the republicans, so there is nothing odd about throwing back the history he chooses to forget. You would think someone with so much google power, wouldn't need to be reminded.

Just as there is no point in discussing communitst party politics in the US, there is no point in discussing the politics of the 1960s or earlier.
The politics of Reagan is an issue because the Republican candidates have chosen to align themselves with such policies. (any of today's Dems looking back at the the Southern Democrats of the 60s as role models?)
The fact remains that for the last 8 years, the Republicans, under an implicit Karl Rove strategy in key states, have had a de facto policy of suppressing minority voters. One only need review the policies and practices of the DoJ Civil Rights Division and its unwillingness to investigate and prosecute charges of voter suppression in Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio (or the acts of Republican governors or secretaries of state in FL, OH...)
