Uncensored: "White Racists" for the Left

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

First time I heard the percentages of those who voted for the Civil Rights Act! Only 62% of DemocRATS and 92% of the Republicans! And to think the DemocRATS tell us they invented it! Sheesh!

[Phsstpok]

I gather that Al Gore Sr. was one of the dims who worked hardest against the 1964 civil rights act. Of course, so did Strom, but he was a dim then too.

[Drango]

If the Left lets the Blacks off the plantations, who would vote for 'em?

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

One of the biggest whoppers that went unchallenged in 2000 was Algore's claim that his father's support of the Civil Rights Act was the reason he was voted out of office. And for the life of me, I can't figure out why neither Bill Bradley or Dubya ever called him on this monstrous lie.

"And to think the DemocRATS tell us they invented it"

...Enough to make you sick isn't it?
...When our country suffers another 9/11 type attack, the same democrats who are today bitching about Pres. Bush's "extreme" security measures and undermining civil liberties will be screaming that he did not do enough and is at fault for the new attack.
...Every time I see one of the 9 dim wannabes on tv I want to spit on the slime ball n
bastard.

The Rats have and still do take part in the oppression of blacks but when it really comes down to it, I find the blacks more guilty than the rats. So many blacks allow the likes of Al Sharpton to lead them around pretending that he wants what is best for them and when it finally comes down to it, what has Al done for them? This is a free country and they can choose to follow whomever they want, so when things aren't going good for them, they have only themselves to blame. Just my personal opinion.

[Enterprise]

And his son, Igor, fondly remembers the days when the black servants had to remain in the car while the white folk ate inside the restaurant.

1964-Present

June 10, 1964
Civil Rights Filibuster Ended


At 9:51 on the morning of June 10, 1964, Senator Robert C. Byrd completed an address that he had begun fourteen hours and thirteen minutes earlier. The subject was the pending Civil Rights Act of 1964, a measure that occupied the Senate for fifty-seven working days, including six Saturdays. A day earlier, Democratic Whip Hubert Humphrey, the bill's manager, concluded he had the sixty-seven votes required at that time to end the debate.

The Civil Rights Act provided protection of voting rights; banned discrimination in public facilities—including private businesses offering public services—such as lunch counters, hotels, and theaters; and established equal employment opportunity as the law of the land.

As Senator Byrd took his seat, House members, former senators, and others—150 of them—vied for limited standing space at the back of the chamber. With all gallery seats taken, hundreds waited outside in hopelessly extended lines.

Georgia Democrat Richard Russell offered the final arguments in opposition. Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, who had enlisted the Republican votes that made cloture a realistic option, spoke for the proponents with his customary eloquence. Noting that the day marked the one-hundredth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's nomination to a second term, the Illinois Republican proclaimed, in the words of Victor Hugo, "Stronger than all the armies is an idea whose time has come." He continued, "The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing in government, in education, and in employment. It will not be stayed or denied. It is here!"

Never in history had the Senate been able to muster enough votes to cut off a filibuster on a civil rights bill. And only once in the thirty-seven years since 1927 had it agreed to cloture for any measure.

The clerk proceeded to call the roll. When he reached "Mr. Engle," there was no response. A brain tumor had robbed California's mortally ill Clair Engle of his ability to speak. Slowly lifting a crippled arm, he pointed to his eye, thereby signaling his affirmative vote. Few of those who witnessed this heroic gesture ever forgot it. When Delaware's John Williams provided the decisive sixty-seventh vote, Majority Leader Mike Mansfield exclaimed, "That's it!"; Richard Russell slumped; and Hubert Humphrey beamed. With six wavering senators providing a four-vote victory margin, the final tally stood at 71 to 29. Nine days later the Senate approved the act itself—producing one of the twentieth century's towering legislative achievements.

Thanks for the ping. Great article!

[spintreebob]

The attention getting 2 jets is proof that being right on the issues is not everything.
