Excellent and devastating! The only response to this thorough and powerful indictment of the historical crimes and hypocrisy of amnesiac Democrat Party I could foresee, say from on of the more partisan Democrat hacks, (Begala, Carville, Brazile) would be to put the Strom Thurman-Jesse Helms spin on the whole issue. They would claim that those former Democrat KKK good 'ol boys are now represented by the Republican Party in the South. Ahem... does the name Robert Byrd ring a bell, or Fritz Hollings? Nope, that spin DOES NOT work when you point out that Gore's father voted against the '64 Civil Rights Act, and the '65 Voting Rights Act. Both needed the votes of a majority of Congressional Republicans to pass.

You're absolutely right. When I point this out, even going so far as to pull up the actual record, the blacks I'm debating are left with nothing but shaking their heads in denial. Like the title of the article, no?
