Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other party, remember that from its founding until the 1960s, people committed terrible deeds in the name of the Democratic Party. In our own party, slavery and Jim Crow all too often were justified in the Democratic platform.
Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, possibly the first grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, spoke at the 1868 Democratic National Convention. Most Klansmen were Democrats. The party refused to condemn the Klan as late as its 1924 convention, a gathering wags called “the Klanbake.”
Woodrow Wilson, a progressive Democrat, was a white supremacist who re-segregated the federal workforce. Segregationists were part of the New Deal coalition and were running mates even to liberal Democratic presidential candidates into the 1950s. In 1956, 99 of the 101 politicians who signed the racist “Southern Manifesto” were Democrats.
The major civil rights legislation of the 1950s and 1960s were supported by a lower percentage of Democratic members of Congress than Republicans. This included J. William Fulbright, who was a mentor to Bill Clinton, Al Gore Sr., who was father of the future vice president, and Robert Byrd, an ex-Klansmen who was the Senate Democratic floor leader until 1989 and an elected Democrat until his death in 2010.
George Wallace, Bull Connor and Lester Maddox were all Democrats… By now you get the point.
... as Matthew Yglesias put it, “that was all quite a long time ago.”
Not longer ago than the history Obama and Coates cite in comparing Christian supporters of slavery and segregation in the 19th and 20th centuries to ISIS today.
It’s all much more recent than the Crusades or the Inquisition.

Democrats rounded up American citizens and put them in concentration camps during World War II. We paid reparations to the Japanese American citizens who went through this experience.
Quite sadly possible. Any “witchly” behavior was virtually drowned out in volume by wicked congregational behavior. There is no way such a group of hypocrites could deal sanely with any sorcery.
56 MILLION DEAD BABIES.....all done in the name of Choice!! The Biggest, most AWFUL, VILE, EVIL HOLOCAUST to ever have been thought of......not ONE Dead Child Killed in the name of CHRIST...just the opposite.
Sounds like superstition mixed with nanny state.
Today people (Democrats mostly)use normal actions or reactions to incidents or issues to cry racism or some made up phobia to force people to act and live the way they deem fit.
The merits/demerits of what happened have been and doubtless will be argued. War is never an easy time and Japanese attacks by balloon were plaguing the Western seaboard and points much further east. Japanese atrocities of war had become so bad that to say Jap was to say a dirty word. Yet now they are viewed as one of the better success stories of civilization (when they have not run wild).
I’m sure there were some twisted enough to say God directed them to do it... but not a majority, not even close.
If they would only TRUST in God, since HE GAVE them the life within them........everything would be fine. God does not give anything to us that HE knows we couldn't handle.
Not so much of a nanny state as what they considered societal norms of the day.
Looks like the first to be accused were the daughters of a minister. They had been playing some kind of fortune telling game and fell ill. It wasn’t the minister who accused them but the doctor who couldn’t explain their illness.
The upper echelon of the church tended to be among the most highly educated in those days. For instance, Cotton Mather experimented with variolation which was an early form of vaccination. He also did a lot of experimentation with cross pollination.
yep but no one in the GOP has the guts to say it out loud.
I was basing my comment on post #15 comment:
“It was a superstitious population using their superstitions as a convenient excuse to target neighbors for personal vendettas.”
Yes!
I do hope this particular debate continues and more people learn the truth. And the dems can thank their Dear Leader who started it by putting his foot in his mouth.
Great post. Democrats love lecturing others about their sordid pasts but they themselves conveniently forget about theirs, especially in their treatment of Blacks.
Nathan Bedford Forrest disbanded the Klan he was associated with in 1869.
Love it!!!
The Democrats, Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood and the Black Holocaust
The Negro Project
POOR, BLACK & “UNDESIRABLE”
The Negro Project was initiated in 1939 by Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. It was a collaborative effort between the American Birth Control League and Sanger’s Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau.1 For a eugenist, it wasn’t controversial, it was integral to the implementation of eugenics to eliminate the ‘unfit’.
Eugenics is “a science that deals with the improvement (as by control of human mating) of hereditary qualities of a race or breed”.2 Negative eugenics focused on preventing the birth of those it considered inferior or unfit. This was the foundation of Sanger’s Birth Control Policy and advocated throughout her writings, speeches, and her periodicals including “Pivot of Civilization”, “Plan for Peace” and countless Birth Control Review articles. The pseudo-science (racial hygiene theory) of negative eugenics influenced social policy and eugenics-based legislation (Immigration Act of 19243, segregation laws, sterilization laws) and led to the racial hygiene theory adopted by the Nazis. Noted eugenist, Eugen Fischer, who was funded by The Rockefeller Foundation (one of many same organizations that also financially supported Sanger’s work), was responsible for the Nazi adoption of racial hygiene theory at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute that led to the eugenics implementation of the holocaust.4
The connection between American Eugenics and the horrors of Nazi Germany are irrefutable. The preponderance of evidence of where Sanger wanted to go (although she decried the atrocities of the holocaust after WWII) shows the ignorance and naivete of eugenics philosophy and its eventual conclusion, left undeterred. The Negro Project was but a precursor to what eugenists wanted to implement on a much larger scale.
“The main objectives of the [proposed] Population Congress is to…apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.” – Margaret Sanger, “Plan for Peace”, 1932 Senate hearing5

FDR, MARGARET SANGER, THE BLACK PROJECT AND THE TUSKEGEE STUDY.
UNDER FDR AND TRUMAN, BLACKS AND GUATEMALANS WERE INFESTED WITH SYPHILIS IN NAZI-STYLE EXPERIMENTS
President Obama personally gave an apology to Guatemala President Alvaro Colon by studies carried out by the health authorities of United States that infested their citizens with sexually transmitted diseases, especially terrible syphilis between the years 1946 to 1948, under the Government of the Democratic President, Harry Truman.
Such atrocity has its antecedent and genesis during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, under whose protection Margaret Sanger, progressive Democrat activist and founder of the family planning, promoted the eugenic theories aimed at creating a superior white race “eliminating the useless eaters”, which is how they qualified to blacks, Hispanics, Slavs and other ethnic groups that the democratic progressives considered genetic and intellectually inferior.
In its magazine “The Birth Control Review” the Sanger openly supported infanticide promoted by the Nazis in 1930 program extolling Hitler agenda to achieve the supremacy of the white race Aria, arriving to Sanger as an advisor in your organization Ernst Rudin, the director of horrendous medical experiments of the Nazis programs.
Already in 1920, Margaret Sanger, with their enormous influence in the party and the Democrat Government, advocated the Elimination of what she describes as yerba mala of the human race, as well as the Elimination of the charity since this prolonged the life of the less fit, while he promoted the segregation of the morons, the mentally or socially misaligned and the forced sterilization of the races that she considered genetically inferior getting to open a clinic for the birth control in the Brownsville section of New York populated by Slavic, Latino, Jewish, and Italian newly-arrived immigrants in his crusade to “save the planet” of those individuals who qualify for inept. On its black list Sanger later added the fundamentalists, Catholics and the American Indians.
The organization founded by Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood, receives hundreds of millions of dollars of the American taxpayers to maintain their billionaire and macabre business while they advance the purposes and methods of its founder building his babies slaughterhouses mainly in districts predominantly black and Hispanic.
The first presidential decree to take over Obama was to rescind the ban on President Bush that the taxpayers money could not go to any of the organizations of the United Nations involved in the global promotion of abortion, thus opening Obama flag so that it forward the genocide of children still in the womb of mothers in the third world, paid for by our taxes.
Later, in 1939, organizes Sanger their “NEGRO PROJECT” designed to eliminate those members that were part of what she described as “inferior race” justifying its proposal because according to her “the masses of blacks, particularly in the South, breed irresponsible and disastrously, with the consequent increase of blacks, which grew even more than whites, blacks for them being the portion of the population least intelligent and capable.”
Wrapped in the occult, the Sanger increased their hostility both to Christianity as well as the principles of individual freedoms given by the creator that this nation was founded. His contempt for U.S. were captured when he wrote: “the birth control promotes the advancement of radicalism because it is calculated to undermine the authority of the Christian churches. We must achieve a humanity free both Christianity and capitalism.”
Margaret Sanger was admired by the Nazis, hugging communism and Theosophy, she was, as Hitler, a disciple of Madame Blavatsky, founder of the religion that rejects God and worship serves Lucifer, a cult which retains a powerful influence in certain circles in New York, Washington, D.C. and around the U.S.
It is no coincidence that the book that most influence has had on Obama, and that earned him to master the technique to achieve power, was “Rules for Radicals” and that its author, Sal Alinsky, is dedicated to Lucifer.
Margaret Sanger turned to use some black Ministers take their congregations propaganda for birth control, since I didn’t want to go to realize that its purpose was to exterminate the black population.
It was within this collusion between the democratic administration of F.D.R., who incubated under the reign of F.D.R. the macabre monstrosity, more worthy of Nazi Germany as a nation founded on respect for divine creation, of what was called the study of scientific research “Tuskegee” in which 400 black men were recruited by the Department of public health in 1932 and infested with syphilis under the delusion that they were going to be treated for their infections when instead they were not administered any drug in order to study the development of such devastating disease infested. The study continued for 40 years and the 400 survived only 125. No one was prosecuted or convicted of heinous crime.
In its “Plan for Peace” founder “Planned Parenthood” intended to segregate or forced sterilization of those who she considered genetically inferior. Between 2,000 to 4,000 forced sterilizations were performed annually under F.D.R. The Nazi Minister, Ernest Rudin, later resorted to forced sterilization of Jews in occupied Europe through rays X. Margaret Sanger was decorated by Hitler for his work on eugenics, science of which Hitler used to justify their mental alienations of creating a breed of Arian, pure and superior.
Not happy Democrats white supremacists with their historical record of supporting slavery, the KKK, the lynching of blacks, the denial of their civil rights, segregation and use blacks of Guinea pigs for medical experiments, under the Government of Harry Truman, those same monsters of evil led his diabolical experiments to Guatemala to see if the Hispanics reacted just like blacks against inoculation of the scourge of syphilis to see as this disease was destroying the bodies of those unhappy without receiving any treatment.
This one line is wrong:
“remember that from its founding until the 1960s, people committed terrible deeds in the name of the Democratic Party.”
It didn’t stop in the 1960s.
Also, it seems that most of the liberal heroes were racists, sexists, bigots, or eugenicists, or simply killed people.
And it goes on until today, as we watch liberals worship people who commit racist violence.
You’re correct, they just changed tactics in the sixties.
They just teach blacks that they are too stupid to get an education and work to take advantage of the opportunities afforded to us, so they just need to take their welfare checks and all they have to do to keep them coming is vote democrat.
well, of course... but it is “in God’s name” in the same sense that other atrocities were committed “in God’s name.” If you say never about a parallel meaning you had better be sure it is accurate or you are wrong, if not also lying.
