Beck is NUMBER 1 on a list of people who the liberals despise!!! Go Beck!

(V): Show us where you read that.

And when the civil rights bill was passed, I read that those who were racist moved to the Republican party.. A complete switch over.

Are there those in the Democratic party who are still racist... yes.. are there those in the Republican party who are racist.. yes. It's too close to the events of change for any party to say "we have eradicated racism from our ranks"..

Also.. It seems that as a recoil of the civil rights bill and other matters of the time the Republican element have done their best to blame everything on the federal government and when in power have scuppered federal depts in order to prove themselves right.

..... those on the far right need to understand that the destruction of the USA is not through socialism, but through their want of the USA as a country failing to prove themselves right. I find this a selfish attitude.

As the result of liberal historical revisionism, few Americans realize that Democrats ruled the segregated South until the 1960s. Democrats were the party of Jim Crow and Bull Connor. Senate Democrats, including former Ku Klux Klan recruiter Robert Byrd and Bill Clinton mentor William Fulbright and Al Gore, Sr. filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The stalemate was broken by Senate Republicans ensuring passage of the bill.

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking."

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy ... I mean, that's a storybook, man."

A Democrat

GTCharlie: Judge not lest ye be judged... I cant wait... hey St Peter what bout these 2!!!

Who was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,' as he said privately."

??

A Democrat

point being..ignorance.. youth is no excuse.. being a 2 faced weasel liar isn't either.. yes ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd... I mean both of you

Tuesday: YES and did not get elected...get my point?

Tuesday: True.. but Byrd is still stained.. just like ted.. just like David Duke.. of course duke never made it to "KLEAGLE" OR KILLED anyone

GTCharlie: Exactly right. The left found Byrd useful and Byrd found changing his outward ways useful. The country was changing and if he wanted to survive politically, he'd have to change too. There is nothing noble about that.

Clearly, the Left would NOT whitewash this man's history if he were a Republican.

sickening?

Tuesday: He didn't come close to redeeming himself..it is sicking to suggest otherwise...whose next ? Goebbels?

Even after his resignation from the Klan, Byrd continued to hold it in high esteem, writing to the Klan's Imperial Wizard in 1946: "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia."

And Byrd was old enough to have participated in filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as to have voted against it after cloture along with 18 other Democrats -- in the name of the Constitution, of course.

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side… Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds" ---Senator Robert Byrd --- (D-WV)

Tuesday: My goodness, you sure are very forgiving,He was raised by his Aunt and Uncle.. and he was college educated. He was a racist, bigot and probably bordered on what today is criminal activity. spreading hate and racial bias...condemn him for ever no... but elect him time and time again? Today he would be prosecuted. he came to his senses when he realized his views were not popular and wouldn't get him elected

Tuesday: being a member an recruiter in the Klan isn't a matter of being opinionated. They did a lot of damage and spread a lot of hate

Some sins aren't so easily "sorried": away. The Klan did a lot of damage especially when Byrd was a member AND recruiter.I'm not black and I never did a survey but to many blacks , slavery and the Klan are on par with Nazis, I would say its safe to say. How could Byrd undo or make up for his part? Same for Ted Kennedy, (for his own little episode at Chappaquiddick) sorry,but great men they are not

Who was it that was standing in the school house door preventing black from attending a public school. Yeah, a democratic leader.

History reveals that it was Democratic Attorney General, Robert Kennedy that approved the secret wire taps on Dr, Martin Luther King Jr., and it was Democratic President Lyndon Johnson that referred to Dr. King as " that N preacher." Senator Byrd referred to Dr. King as a "trouble maker" who causes trouble and then runs like a "coward," when trouble breaks out.

And these days the left plays the race card all day long. Against Obamacare? You're a racist. Don't like Obama as president? That's because you're a racist. Jesse Jackson - a racist as is Al Sharpton.

Are you for affirmative action? You're for race discrimination. All the entitlement policies can be traced largely to the Democrats. They are bribing the people with their own money.

A lot has changed since 1830 but then again, a lot has stayed the same.

Tuesday: Fox justs wants to stir and like other ultra right wing organisations.. spread fear.

Tuesday: I thought these days it was more the Hispanics who were being used. God forbid Americans paying full price for what they consume!!

Artful Dodger: Then your whole argument falls down.

Hallelujah. the end...

(V): I never said they didn't change. I said they can trace their origins to the 1830s and that they are still the same party. The Democrats reinvented themselves when the lost the slavery fight and the segregation fights. Now they just exploit blacks and minorities in other ways.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. -Alexis de Tocqueville

The Democratic party seized upon this idea long ago.

Artful Dodger: So... if parties still don't change and people don't change.

Are the protestants in the USA still wanting (as per their founders) wanting to kill all Jews?

Tuesday: I know.
