The Zenger Society: A Forum For Free Speech (Page 367) KeithJ: Like I said long ago "It's coming" and then the idiot will be disqualified to ever run again . KeithJ: Yep "it's coming" as even the documents Trump tried to tear up but were taken by staff and tapped back together ,,,VERY damning more evidence in them LOL ,,,,,,"IT"S COMING" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Echolegacy: To Keith: It is my fervent hope that whatever else happens, Trump, hopefully, will be barred from running for the Presidency ever again. rmcluck may have a nervous breakdown when he realizes that at long last, the party is OVER. Thank almighty God if this should ever come to pass! ECHO KeithJ: Echo ,,Defiantly lol,,,and also be barred from ANY political thing AND barred from being involved in ANY political financial thing too because he and Rudy stole money from donators which has been shown. Echolegacy: To Keith: Oh dear me...and I was told that those "donations" were really "love offerings" from Trump's idiot worshippers! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ECHO laffer80: Echo 5 days ago: â If you CAN find examples, of, say, voter suppression or lunatic conspiracy on the left, Iâd love to see the evidence.â Echo, since I responded with historic facts of Democratsâ evil mistreatment of blacks: đ¤ I guess Dred Scott, Jim Crow, lynchings, opposing Amendments etc. were all examples enough. Youâre welcome. And I didnât even have to mention the âlunaticâ Russia Collusion hoax. đđ Now will come some lame response Iâm sure. That always happens when I flush out the runners. Welcome back in advance Echo. Lol. But your silence has already exposed your unworthiness. Unless of course you (begrudgingly) will now confirm the truth of my evidence. đâ¤ď¸ Yes? KeithJ: The republican party has flipped over to what the democrats used to be of the early and I say EARLY 1900s stupid don't you see that ? get real. KeithJ: They even do not speak out of the Neo Nazi and of the like groups who they enjoy support from now . idiot KeithJ: To quote Dump at one event with the KKK was causing trouble "There was good people on both sides" Echolegacy: To laffer80: Not so fast, wise guy.... God, how I love to see people distort and pervert historical facts to suit their own cruddy little political agenda: the facts you like to hold up as 'proof' of the Democrats' "racism" mostly occurred back in the 19th century. To expect a political party to have the same ideology in the 21st century as it did back in the 19th bespeaks a lamentable ignorance of the facts, and your snide and pompous comments only prove to me that, put plainly, you don't know what the FUCK you're talking about. With the advent of the twentieth century, the Republican Party has adopted policies towards black peoples that can only be called draconian. Meanwhile, although I think the Democrats have not always acted in the best interests of black folks, they are not a haven for bigots, conspiracy nuts, or those committed to voter suppression through violence. The Republican Party has become so morally debased that itâs sickening. Unless you support âThe Big Lie,â and keep insisting that the election was âstolenâ (It was NOT), you are ostracized and then attacked, like Adam Kinzinger and Lynne Cheney were. After sixty lawsuits were laughed out of court, youâd think they might have learned something, but no such luck. How do Republicans defend themselves against the charge of outright lunacy when they give us freaks like Rudy Giuliani, Lin Wood, Alex Jones and Sydney âKrakenâ Powell? How can anyone take your party seriously if this is what they have to offer? To people like you, history is simply a treasure trove of salient quotes and facts to plunder out of context. Go back and reread your 'history' and then, when you know a little more, we can discuss it further. To quote George Herbert, the poet, "The tragedy of ignorance is its complacency". ECHO (Edited by Echolegacy) laffer80: To Echo: Echo: âIf you CAN find examples, of, say, voter suppressionâŚâ No mention was made of time limits. You asked for examples. I gave them. Echo: âDemocrats' "racism" mostly occurred back in the 19th century.â FirstâŚ. Thank you so much for admitting to Democrat racism. đ. I love when we can agree! đ Maybe one day youâll even admit that racism included slavery, lynchings, segregation, Jim Crow Laws, Dred Scott decision, civil rights amendment opposition, etc etc etc. SecondâŚ. I do understand how the depth and breath and length and severity of the Democrat racism that i cited was sooooo overwhelming that you have to now try to limit the damage by limiting the time frame of Democrat racism. You asked for examples but you obviously donât want to face those early examples now. I get it completely. I wouldnât either if i were you. Fine. We can ignore the long long sad history of Democrat racism dating up to the 19th century. Iâm ok with that. Itâs not like Democrats stopped being racists in the 20th century. I assume you still want examples right? Just not 19th century examples right? Iâll provide the examples in the next posts. Echo: âhistory is simply a treasure trove of salient quotes and facts to plunder out of context. Go back and reread your 'history'â Feel free to cite examples of Democrat racism taken out of context. Iâd be glad to stand corrected. I say that with the utmost confidence that no Democrat racism was taken out of context. đ Echo: âGod, how I love to see people distort and pervert historical facts to suit their own cruddy little political agendaâ Feel free to cite examples of historical facts of Democrat racism that were distorted or perverted. Iâd be glad to stand corrected. I say that with the utmost confidence that no historical factual Democrat racism was distorted or perverted. đ (Edited by laffer80) laffer80: 20th century Period January 1, 1901 â December 31, 2000 KKK * The Democratsâ âKKKâ. Columbia University historian Eric Foner: The Ku Klux Klan became âa military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.â UNC historian Allen Trelease: the Klan was the âterrorist arm of the Democratic Party.â In 1915, white Protestant nativists organized a revival of the Ku Klux Klan near Atlanta, Georgia, inspired by their romantic view of the Old South as well as Thomas Dixonâs 1905 book âThe Clansmanâ and D.W. Griffithâs 1915 film âBirth of a Nationâ which depicted the Ku Klux Klan as valiant saviors of a post-war South ravaged by Northern carpetbaggers and immoral freed Black people. At its peak in the 1920s, Klan membership exceeded 4 million people nationwide. The civil rights movement of the 1960s saw a surge of Klan activity across the South, including the bombings, beatings and shootings of Black and white activists. laffer80: 20th century Period January 1, 1901 â December 31, 2000 Wilson * It was Democrats who segregated the federal government of the United States, specifically at the direction of President Woodrow Wilson upon taking office in 1913. President Wilson (president from 1913 to 1921) screened the movie âBirth of a Nationâ inside the White House. It was the first movie ever shown inside the White House. President Wilson: âIt is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.â Wilson was a segregationist who wrote a history textbook praising the Confederacy and, in particular, the Ku Klux Klan. As president, he rolled back hard-fought economic progress for Black Americans, overseeing the segregation of multiple agencies of the federal government. (Edited by laffer80) laffer80: 20th century Period January 1, 1901 â December 31, 2000 * Number of Democratic Party platforms that either supported segregation outright or were silent on the subject. There were 20, from 1868-1948. You do know that span includes 1901 - 1948 which is the 20th century right? * Democratsâ 1904 platform, which devotes a section to âSectional and Racial Agitation,â claiming the GOPâs protests against segregation and the denial of voting rights to blacks sought to ârevive the dead and hateful race and sectional animosities in any part of our common country,â which in turn âmeans confusion, distraction of business, and the reopening of wounds now happily healed.â * Democrat platforms, 1908-1920, silent on blacks, segregation, lynching, and voting rights as racial problems in the country mount. By contrast the GOP platforms of those years specifically address âRights of the Negroâ (1908), oppose lynchings (in 1912, 1920, 1924, 1928) and, as the New Deal kicks in, speak out about the dangers of making blacks âwards of the state.â * DNC-sponsored Democrat Convention of 1924, known to history as the âKlanbake.â The 103-ballot convention was held in Madison Square Garden. Hundreds of delegates were members of the Ku Klux Klan, the Klan so powerful that a plank condemning Klan violence was defeated outright. To celebrate the Klan staged a rally with 10,000 hooded Klansmen in a field in New Jersey directly across the Hudson from the site of the Convention. Attended by hundreds of cheering Convention delegates, the rally featured burning crosses and calls for violence against African Americans and Catholics. (Edited by laffer80) laffer80: 20th century Period January 1, 1901 â December 31, 2000 * Thousands of local officials, state legislators, state governors, U.S. Congressmen and U.S. Senators were elected as supporters of slavery and then segregation between 1800 and 1965. You do know that span includes 1901 - 1965 which is the 20th century right? * Three-fourths of the opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Bill in the U.S. House came from Democrats. 80 percent of the nay vote on the bill in the Senate came from the Democrats, including Tennessee Senator Albert Gore, Sr., father of future Vice President Al Gore. * Birmingham, Alabama Public Safety Commissioner Bull Connor, who infamously unleashed dogs and fire hoses on civil rights protestors, was in fact â yes indeed â both a member of the Democratic National Committee and the Ku Klux Klan. | Politics Chat Room 28 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
