Original Title:Hank Aaron Says Republicans are Like the KKK but with ‘Neckties and Starched Shirts’ Instead of Hoods

Hank Aaron is a baseball icon. Forty years ago he broke Babe Ruth's all-time homerun record of 714. He ended his career with a total of 755. Barry Bonds surpassed Aaron's record with a total of 762. Since there are claims that Bonds was "juiced," the record is viewed as suspect.

When Aaron was getting close to Ruth's record, the racists came out similar to the way they did when Jackie Robinson broke the baseball color barrier in 1945. They wrote nasty letters to him. Aaron says he still has them in his attic.

After hearing about the racist attacks on Robinson and Aaron, a majority of Americans felt great sympathy for them and cheered them on. The sport of baseball was changed forever.

Hank Aaron is spoiling that sentiment with his recent remarks about Republicans who he claims are not much different from the KKK because of their opposition to President Obama who is black.

Here are some of his comments:

“Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated.” “The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.” “To remind myself that we are not that far removed from when I was chasing the record. If you think that, you are fooling yourself. A lot of things have happened in this country, but we have so far to go. There’s not a whole lot that has changed.”

Hey Hank, the KKK was a democratic organization to keep negroes from voting. Bobby Byrd was a grand kleagle with the KK and a democratic senator from WV.

Do you ever attend Jefferson and Jackson democratic dinner.
Hank you remember Jefferson, a slaveholder and the father more than one children with his slaves. Andrew Jackson was a great guy also, read up about the Trail of Tears and the way he treated the southern Indians.

Yeah Hank you really know your democratic history.

You were a nine year old’s hero; now you are a racist to this 69 year old guy.
