On Monday's "Good Morning America," co-host Robin Roberts chose to tout only Democratic politicians in a piece honoring the civil rights movement and those "warriors" who made Barack Obama's election as president possible. Not a single Republican was mentioned or featured in the segment. Roberts began by announcing, "And on this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we thought it would be appropriate to look back at all the warriors, black and white, who made this moment where we are today possible."

And the dumbing down of America continues. Without Republicans, the donk party (the party of the KKK)would never have passed civil rights measures.

For the first time in my life, I am ashamed of my country.

[Tzimisce]

...not even Lincoln?

[mkmensinger]

Not to mention that King himself was a Republican.

[EagleUSA]

Let these socialist slime revel in their twisted victory. Every dog has his day. And they are dogs.

We are headed towards one-party rule. The Democrats want to exalt themselves about everyone else. They call themselves the “champions of civil rights,” while it was actually the Republicans who were the party of civil rights, while the Democrats were the ones who wanted to keep the black people in slavery.

As I read it the Democrat's kept Blacks in slavery then after the CW kept them there with segregation followed by Separate But Equal nonsense ... it was Republicans that finally freed them (Eisenhower)

Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd, Ex-Klansman
by Michelle Malkin (March 8, 2001)

Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.

The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes.

The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox News Sunday morning talk show host Tony Snow about the state of race relations in America. Sen. Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[4]

Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan. According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4] He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]

Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:

"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.[5]"

He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

The problem is that not a single high profile Republican or the even the GOP will issue a public challenge or complaint.

[GoCards]

My body shakes and tears run down my face. What are we to do? I want to scream. We have to stop letting the media and others define the facts!!! We have to stop it.

This country is in the brink of death. The executioner is barak obama, and his gang, the democrats and rinos. Only a revolution could save this Republic, and the balls for it are not there. The founding fathers risked life, liberty and wealth; but were also organized to fight. We are not.

We are pretty much R.I.P. Also, if there was a revolution, the u.n. and most of the world would come to the aid of the traitors.

I lived in a country that turned from a mild dictatorship, to a harsh communist dictatorship; I now see it all over again in this great Republic; only without the bullets(yet).

[gedeon3]

All members of the media should be tried for treason; and the ones found guilty, should get the maximum punishment in the books.

[Kirkwood]

Shhh! No one is supposed to know that MLK was a registered Republican.

[NutCrackerBoy]

We have to stop letting the media and others define the facts!!! We have to stop it.

Use the telephone. Speak to producers. It's not unusual to reach someone who is actually plugged in. Get them to admit they screwed up, or force them into yet another outrageous lie.

That's a good line, but please do not mistake your country for the one portrayed by its clownish, monolithic news media. Our country is here, right here on this page. And on many others like it.

The greatest fools on earth are often those with the loudest voices and the most garish appearances. Yes, they are influential, but only because they thrive in a big top tent where pressing reality and existential threat are absent or invisible. I suspect the new Administration will cure many people of their circus illusions, intentionally or not.

[RJS1950]

Not just passing the Civil Rights act. It was republicans who sent in federal troops to push aside the democrat governors who were keeping black gradeschoolers and college students from entering their schools.

[Aroostook25]

Is there not a Republican major news network which will refute this propaganda?
No, I do not count Fox since it is at best only middle of the road.

[Political Junkie Too]

Was George Wallace mentioned?

How about Ernest "ah-say" Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, the man who put the confederate flag atop the South Carolina state capitol building?

What country did you live in?

Only a revolution could save this Republic, and the balls for it are not there. The founding fathers risked life, liberty and wealth; but were also organized to fight. We are not.

And, as we can see, revolution doesn't have to be violent. It only must be the right course of action. Some of us do have the guts to take such action. For example, some of us keep our children out of the government-run schools which have been turning young people into mindless drones for too long. Others show up to counter the Leftist protests. Others talk on the radio or appear on TV or mount an effort on the internet. But, there aren't enough of us.

They squeal like wounded pigs when a Republican points out the sordid truth as this Democratic response to a Michael Zak speech in Maryland shows:
