Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago (hmmmmm) has a plaque declaring Lincoln was a Democrat, and they are refusing to change it despite being advised of the inaccuracy.

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) used an appearance on Martin Bashir‘s MSNBC show Friday to criticize Republicans for their “intransigence” on the Affordable Care Act. But she did it in a unique way: by equating the modern-day GOP with Southern Democrats during the Civil Rights Movement.
Bashir began by asking Norton, in light of the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, how civil rights legislation would ever have been able to move forward under today’s congressional conditions. Instead of allowing a vote on immigration reform, Bashir said, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) “spends his time at his computer mocking” Obamacare “when we have 47 million people in this country who don’t have health insurance, we have over 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country.”
Norton indulged Bashir’s line of questioning, while at the same time reminding him that things weren’t so perfect back in the 1960s, and that then it was often Democrats standing in the way of change on civil rights issues. “The intransigence of Republicans today, particularly over issues that could be easily settled,” she said, “reminds me of the intransigence of the Southern Democrats, who refused to move on civil rights until they had to.”
She credited the 1963 March on Washington as not only “raising the hopes of Americans all over the country” but also forcing those Southern Democrats to take action on civil rights. “Only three months later,” she recalled, “John F. Kennedy was dead.”
“Its all about hating those who are not white and well off, and many stupid poor whites in Southern states put racism above their own well being and hate Obama even though he is trying to help them”
“Attention Comrades! The Democrats freed the slaves. The Republicans are now like we used to be—not so nice, but now we’re like them!
“Lincoln was actually a Democrat, Martin L. King, Jr. too. Lee Harvey Oswald was an early Tea Party harbinger. LBJ was really a Republican and he killed Kennedy.
“Cynthia McKinney, Sheila Jackson Lee, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn—all intellectuals and patriots. Diane Feinswine, Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson—statesmen and stateswomen.
“We like cheese: We’re the American Democratic Party, comrades! Eeeeeeee!”

Most of the southern Demos were playing both sides against the middle; quietly lining up black support while also espousing some segregationist rhetoric.
Good old Eleanor Norton Holmes, a veteran pinko from her New York City days. Brought her leftist to DC, posing as another Rep. Shirley Chisholm (D-NY - more about her in the future).
One of the biggest racists in the DC political system. It keeps her well fed and in the news. In a sane world, she would be in the booby hatch, not Congress (though today there is little difference between the two).
DC and Norton say they want “Home Rule”. I say, “Military Rule” (and a lot of DC’s crime victims agree with me).

I find they rewrite history since it is not very flattering to their political affiliation.
So says a black NAZI SS biotch!
You got that right.
I wish they would come up with something original when describing those who disagree with them but they use the same script over and over Are they(the left) that devoid of imagination?
“Them uppity white folk just won’t give us our reparations by becoming our slaves.”
Thank you friend.
