I've heard several times that most of America's most shamelful moments, that the Democrats blame on America, were actually done by the Democrats-- Slavery, Japanese Internment camps, etc.
I was wondering if anyone here had a list of all of these historic horrible acts done by the democrat party?
slavery, jim crow, trail of tears, jap internment, standing in schoolhouse doors, firehoses on negro protestors, birthing the kkk, opposing civil rights act, opposing voting rights act,
I forgot being peter-puffin, knob-gnashing, bone-blowing, bucket of crap, traitor scumbags.
Trail of Tears - Andrew Jackson (D)
Dang! I always heard what a bad guy Andrew Jackson was, but didn’t realize that he was a Democrat.
Maybe true, but if we’d listened to the Whigs we wouldn’t have Texas or California, Arizona or New Mexico, maybe not even Washington and Oregon.
Always, and forever obstructionists to our Constitutional Republic.
Democrat Senator Robert Byrd was a member of the KKK. He attained the rank of “Kleagle” in the Klan, and worked as a recruiter for them. Who knows how many atrocities were committed by Byrd, or by the men he recruited? The Democrats, however, revered him, referring to Byrd as “the conscience of the Senate.”
I’m pretty sure the democrats brought compulsory sterilization in the 1930’s in about a dozen states. Is that right?
How about burning kids in Waco?
I’m not sure, but that reminds me—Margaret Sanger, eugenicist, racist, sought to abort the black race as inferior, abortion lover, and Hillary Clinton among others has a Margaret Sanger award. Google it—Sanger was a racist psychopath and now she’s celebrated by Democrats.
Add Tuskegee experiments to the list.
Started under the FDR administration, ended under Nixon.
I’m SURE it was well-hidden from Ike in the 50s.
Consider the progressive insiders in today’s VA who have allowed vets to die while they see their cronies in the administration get bonuses/etc but they refused to “negotiate” with “republicans.” (headline is on the same FREEP page as your post).
Dine sh has a new movie coming out. Th trailer alone is pretty informative.
The Branch Davidians massacre in Waco, the murders of innocents at Ruby Ridge, the death of Veterans waiting for care during Obama’s reign
Is it appropriate to add the Vietnam War to this list? Kennedy got us involved, and Johnson escalated our involvement, while Ike refused to intervene at Dienbienphu.

Ruby Ridge
1913
Iran Hostages
NAFTA
Barack Obama. All you need to know.
Don’t forget today: The Democrat engineered socialist Holocaust or what I like to call DESH which has destroyed more black lives than slavery or racism ever did. Approx. 5,000 blacks are killed by other blacks EVERY YEAR, which is almost 2,000 more than were killed TOTAL by racism in 100 years, meaning killed by lynchings, shot etc. So 3000 killed in 100 years by racism, 5,000 killed per year by the adult children DESH produces yet blacks every election cycle vote for DESH while they whine about racism which barely even exists today. DESH is the Democrats crowning glory when it comes to atrocities, and incredibly, they still push it!
I don’t recall who wrote this...but I thought it noteworthy at the time...
* I have been called a racist by Barack Obama.
* I have been called a racist in comment threads.
* I was recently called a racist in an email pursuant to this article—an article which had exactly jack.squat to do with race.
* I have been called a racist to my face. Never by a black person, but by more than one white liberal.
Well, I finally snapped back. You know I’ve snapped when I write in second person.
Do I feel bad about that? Not at all.
They’ve been making it personal—silencing all debate with a single word—for decades. To blazes with the rascals.
Print this out, and the next time it happens to you, either directly or indirectly, you tell ‘em this:
Oh stop it. Not one more word.
Stop trying to project your own racism upon us.
YOU, in fact, are the real racists.
Historically, your Party’s racism and atrocities are undeniable. Yours was the Party of Slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, and opposition to every piece of civil rights legislation the GOP tried to pass. The KKK is the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party . . . .YOUR Party.
But even today, your racism continues. Oh sure, you smile and say how much you support blacks and how many wonderful, “articulate” blacks you admire, but beneath that lie is a contempt you show with your every action.
It is YOUR boot on the throat of every person whom you’ve made into a government dependent.
The black family, once the equal in cohesion to the white family, is now rent asunder. Welfare rules you created and touted as humane for 40 years have driven black men and black women apart. Most black children now grow up without a dad in the home. The blood of the black family is on YOUR hands.
It is YOUR abortion mills that are bringing about a slow genocide of blacks in America.
Those are YOUR abortion mills, which are carrying on the work of YOUR hero, Margaret Sanger . . . the feminist, eugenicist, and nazi darling . . . you know, the one who wanted to make sure the word didn’t get out about her plan to “exterminate the negro.”
It is YOUR people who say that the drop in crime in the 90s was brought about by the abortion of what YOU called would-be criminal black babies.
It is you who think so little of black people that you constantly tell them, in word and in deed, that they are not able to compete on a level playing field. It is you who seek to drive this message home every chance you get. It is you who uses this lie to keep them on a plantation of government dependence and electoral vassalage.
All we want blacks to do is build familes, get rich, and participate in the building of a civil society . . . .just like what we want for everyone else. And you call US the racists?
Oh, and let’s go back in time, shall we?
The Republican Party fought—and its people died—to end Slavery.
Then, we fought and died to end segregation, and to bring voting and other civil rights to all the freed slaves.
Died? Yes, died. We died because YOU created the KKK to kill Republicans and blacks, and to take away the gains we were trying to make.
And you did a damn good job of it, too. You drove us out of the South.
We fought for civil rights for 100 years. You opposed our every effort.
You opposed our attempts to end segregation. You filibustered our civil rights bills. You even fought against us when we proposed anti-lynching legislation.
Your officials turned firehoses on people marching for freedom. Your governors stood in the doorways of schools to prevent little black girls and boys from entering.
It was a REPUBLICAN president who had to send the National Guard — the National Guard! — just so that these children could go to school.
Civil Rights did not become possible because you started supporting it. Civil rights became possible because you stopped standing in the way of it.
More of our politicians supported Civil Rights legislation than yours did. Yours filibustered it! It finally made it through because of the tireless efforts of the Republican minority leader.
Oh what, now you want to tell me that it was only the SOUTHERN Democrats who were the racists? Okay fine. Half of your party were slaveholding, segregationist, KKK-creating, Jim Crow upholding opposers of civil rights.
Gee, only half? You must be very proud.
Guess what, NONE of my party ever was. We didn’t stop fighting for civil rights until civil rights legislation was finally passed.
You wanna tell me that only half your party was bad? Fine. That half of your party controlled your attitude towards race from the foundations of this nation all the way up until the 1960s. That half of your party WAS the problem. Without them, we would have done away with segregation and poll taxes and lynchings 140 years ago.
Oh, and let’s look at the South. When Democrats controlled the South, it was a bastion of segregation. Now, Republicans control the South . . . and look! We didn’t bring back segregation and literacy tests for voting. It may not be perfect yet, but it’s not the segregated place you made it anymore.
You have the nerve to call me a racist? To call us racists? Why? Because I am a Republican? You have a lot of nerve. Or is it because I have white skin?
You’d better not be saying that, because that’s called blood guilt. That says that I’m guilty by nothing more than my biology. That idea was very popular in Germany in the 1930s, but I have to say, we don’t much appreciate it now.
Oh, and funny thing, that idea was also popular among YOUR ideological forebears for almost two centuries. Interesting that you’re pushing a similar notion here in 2011.
My ideological forebears fought and died to put an end to the injustices YOUR ideological forebears wrought. I am proud to follow in their tradition. I have NOTHING to be ashamed of.
For what your ideological forebears did . . . and for what you’re doing today . . . you might want to think about feeling a bit of shame yourself.
You are still capable of feeling shame, aren’t you?
