In 1924, the DNC convention at Madison Square Garden gave the finger to Al Smith because he was Catholic. They also embraced the path of violence and racism, by defeating an anti-KKK plank. Today Kamala still had disdain for Al Smith and the Catholics (and all Christians). She still supports violence in the name of racism. I hope this point about the 1924 Democrat convention gets to Trump so he can mention this sordid history in his speech.

That was the peak of the power of the new KKK. It had a big presence in the midwest and elsewhere in the north, with people concerned about immigrants, Catholics, and blacks who moved north.

The KKK was a big power backing McAdoo and the northern political machines were backing Smith, an Irish Catholic from NYC. There were a zillion ballots. They then needed 2/3 to nominate. Finally, they decided on an unknown compromise candidate, who lost badly.

I don’t see it has much to do with the current Democratic Party. The Democratic Party was simpathetic to the south in the Civil War and opposed to Reconstruction.

I remember when JFK was competing for the Presidental nomination and he was receiving a lot of DemonRAT hate for being a Catholic. Being young and having Catholic friends I thought that was really strange. But now I understand that DemonRATs must have something to hate to justify all the evil they do and have done. I mean, have they ever apologized for slavery, the Civil War, the KKK, segregation, Jim Crow etc.?

Well, well… right on time with this one.

Why am I not surprised?
