Yeah, baby.....doesn’t matter that it was the Republicans who abolished slavery, enacted the Civil Rights Act, etc., etc.....no, I like the idea of having slaves again. I’m tired of vacuuming my own floors.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

There were no Republicans in 1812—nearest thing that existed then were Federalists and their pro-England stance ruined them due to the War of 1812.

[Steely Tom]

But Republicans should never, never criticize Democrats because that would drive the Independants right back into the arms of the Democrats.

Goes double for any kind of “strident” criticism. Hooo Daddy.

[Mad Dawgg]

When the “race card” don’t work you gotta go with the big guns... and play the “slavery card”...!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Democrats are in a glass house and those stones are coming close to the ceiling now.

For the longest time, the GOP was known for opposing Negro slavery, Jim Crow, racially discriminatory gun bans, and the like. Wherever black people could vote, they voted GOP, for decades. Then somehow Democrats jumped in front of that parade, tossing in some welfare bribes, and voila they stole the heart of America’s Negros.

[I see my hands]

To: Blacks

A word to the.. blacks. Whites aren't going to take this race crap forever. You want to divide? Then there are going to be divisions.

[BenLurkin]

Those darn Repubilcans...they want it to be 1776 again!

[MileHi]

Republicans Want 1950s, 1812, Jim Crow, Slavery

Why would Republicans want the Dems running things again?

[Paladin2]

Conservatives want a debt free Constitutional Republic.

[sauropod]

Antonio sounded like a fool.

Let them spout.

[Upstate NY Guy]

The Democrat Party is the home of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, lynchings, racial paranoia, the promotion of black genocide through abortion, the disintegration of the family through the government plantation (welfare) system.

The root cause and home of racial tension is now, and has always been, the Democrat Party. If more Republicans simply remembered and communicated these historical facts the sooner we might undo the damage caused by the left.

[ChildOfThe60s]

When have the Democrats ever run a campaign centered around *ideas* and concrete *goals*?

As in “We want to achieve A, B & C. In order to do this we will specifically do E, F & G.”

Ideas and goals are not ad hominum attacks on your opponents.

[FrankR]

Ignore it, it’s another of the left’s exhibition of stupidity.

Never mind that Republicans freed the slaves, and enacted the civil rights bill, those too stupid to know it or research it will buy into this crap.

They can’t name a single instance when any Republican, or group, has even suggested such a thing, because it never happened and it never will.

This the same mindset that never collected Breitbart’s $100,000 reward for proof of epithets and spitting during the dems obamacare “victory parade”.

It foolishness, it’s folly, and it’s a lie.

There used to be a saying down South that went like this, “If we had know they’d be this radical, we would have picked our own cotton.”.

I don’t think a single person would want to “own” a slave, and most modern whites don’t even know what the “Jim Crowe” laws were, and could care less.

The blacks are obviously afflicted with the same misconception as the muslims, still living large in a previous century.

Slaves...what a foolish and ignorant thought.

[editor-surveyor]

The Jim Crow laws were all written and enacted by democraps.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I think Villaraigosa is the last person who should be judging anyone, considering he cheated on his wife with a KTLA News Anchor..Villaraigosa has a lot in common with Bill Clinton, both sex crazed pervs

[Tanniker Smith]

Don’t forget ending women’s suffrage.

[Fiji Hill]

[Villaraigosa] said that the Republican platform “looks like the platform of 1812”

How could that be so?

In 1812, the two major parties in this country were the the Republican Party, which would change its name to the Democratic Party in 1840, and the Federalist Party. The overriding issue in 1812 was the war that had recently broken out with Britain. "On to Canada!" was the slogan of the Republican Party while the Federalists ran on a "peace" platform.

I doubt if there is anyone, Democrat or Republican, in this country today who wants to take over Canada.

[MNJohnnie]

And it is exactly this sort of hysteric that has given Romney/Ryan a 15-20% advantage over Obama/Biden with the Independents.

Time to take these 'Rats and the head 'Rat 0bamugabe back to school ...

Q - In 1957, what Governor of Arkansas refused to protect black students seeking to attend Little Rock High School?

A - It was racist 'Rat Orval Faubus, and it was REPUBLICAN President Dwight Eisenhower who sent federal troops to Arkansas to secure the civil rights of those students, basically bitch-slapping the segregationist Faubus, and rightly so.

Q - In 1963, what Governor of Alabama stood in the school hosue door, refusing entry for black students at the University of Alabama, stepping aside only when confronted by federal marshals and the Deputy Attorney General of the United States?

A - It was again, DEMOCRAT George Wallace who proclaimed at his inauguration as governor earlier that same year, "I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!
(to his credit, Wallace later denounced and disavowed his earlier racist beliefs and was elected to his final term of Governor with major support from black voters).

Q - What later Governor of Georgia provided pick handles for the implied purpose of assaulting blacks attempting to enter his 'Pickrick Restaurant', and actually pulled a gun on blacks seeking to enter?

A - Lester Maddox, DEMOCRAT.

Q - What 'Commissioner of Public Safety' in Birmingham Alabama authorized the used of fire hoses, police dogs, and police violence against peaceful civil rights protesters in 1963?

A - Eugene 'Bull' Connor, DEMOCRAT and former member of the Ku Klux Klan.

And for all the marbles:

Q - What Senator from West Virginia said "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."?

A - You know it, none other than Robert Byrd, former Kleagle and Grand Cyclops in his local unit of the West Virginia Ku Klux Klan.

The examples go on and on and on, so if 0bama and his goons want to talk about racism, they need only look in the mirror and note the political party to which they belong, the DEMOCRAT Party, the party of bigotry and institutional racism.

[Hoodat]

he said that the Republican platform “looks like the platform of 1812”

He must be talking about the Democrat platform of 1812.
