Wow, excellent compilation of the historic facts. We should find a way to publicize this far and wide, since a lot of todays Democrat voters do not know it, or have forgotten!

Thanks for the post, informative.

There was also Lester Maddox, Orville Faubus, and Eugene "Bull" Connor -- Democrats all.

This information needs to be disseminated far and wide.

Check out Wayne Perriman's book, "Unfounded Loyalty." I haven't actually read it, but I saw Perriman on Book TV several months ago, and I was blown away. Perriman is a black radio talk show host, among other things. In addition to the points made in this article, he claims that the KKK was more or less an arm of the southern Democratic Party.

What I find interesting in all this is the incredible double-standard the Left has for historical sensitivity. They give the Democratic Party a pass because its racism was supposedly in the past. But that doesn't seem to matter when it comes to the Confederate flag. They are more offended by a symbol from the past than by a major political institution that continues to this day. This stuff is potential dynamite if it ever really gets out.

What an excellent post! Bruce Bartlett has compiled a straight-forward, historical account and I'll be saving this one and passing it along.

Excellent piece. Shame the truth is not more important to the MSM. This will never be repeated in the MSM.

I remember when President Eisenhower sent in the troops to help desegregate schools in Bill Clinton's home state, Arkansas.

About time. The dims should be hit up for their violent racist past in political commercials.

[tkathy]

The republicans must reclaim their rightful history. Decades of vicious revisionism on the part of dims must be challenged.

Unfortunately, Democrats keep Blacks on their ideological plantation.

They are kept slaves to the Democrat Party, who do them absolutely no good whatsoever.

Wow

Someone with more energy than I have should look up the pary platform of the Nazis and compare it to the Democratic Party's platform.

I thought I was going to get kicked out of my university a few years back when I printed the NSDAP (Nazi Predecessors) platform (1925-9) alongside the DNC's platform. Not identical, exactly, but they seemed to be coming from a similar mindset (The Culture of Death).

Bookmarked!
We need to send this historic fact to all our local newspaper and to all democRATic colleagues and "friends"!!!

This is good as far as it goes. But there can not be a complete discussion on this issue without any reference at all to the "Southern Strategy", what it was and was not. It was this that caused the label of racist to be hung around the neck of the Republican party, and the refusal to discuss it is a little disingenuous. It's not that one party is racist and one not, there has been plenty to go around in both. It's just that the dems have successfully shuffled their sins onto Republicans, and can keep on sinning cause no one calls them on it. The idea goes like this, "all the bad dems left to become republicans" Its time to take that on, IMHO.
