The Dems' Desperation To Rewrite History

[boedicca]

This is rich. Lefwing hacksite Politico has a bit of racialist propaganda aimed at Low Info types. They are attempting to gin up the GOP Racism canard...with a photo of George Wallace.

Too funny by half.

 

[Tom Sweetnam]

So hate and cowardice make up the locus of the left. You could knock me over with a feather.

I won't believe it until they put up a photo of the Koch Brothers.

 

[boedicca]

Oh. Give them time. I'm sure we'll see that eventually.

 

[tinydancer]

Has anyone called them on it yet?

 

[boedicca]

Has anyone called them on it yet?

Yeah. Me.

And it's getting a lot of notice from those who bother to look at Politico.

 

[Mr. H.]

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The real America is about to reclaim this country and Liberals know it.

I'm guessing none of you read the article.

You idiots should at least read the material you post:

No figure was more crucial to the spread of the movement than Alabama Gov. George Wallace, a Democrat, who burst on to the national scene in 1963, first by demanding “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever” during his inaugural address and a few months later by physically blocking two African-American students—the first in the school’s history—from attending the University of Alabama. Overnight, Wallace became not only a hero to the white South, but also the most potent symbol of racial resistance in the country.

The article, btw, is brilliant,

mostly because it elaborates on exactly what people like myself have been trying to explain to you ineducable fools for years.

A typically misleading article that the rubes on the Left eat up.
What does it mean to be "left" or "right" on civil rights issues today? It sure isnt the same thing it meant in 1965. In 1965 those on the "right" presumably were in favor of racial restrictions, in favor of racial quotas. In 2014 those same positions are held by those on the "left".
Racism never left the Democratic Party.

The civil rights movement was never a far left wing movement. More revisionist history.

The civil rights movement was never a far left wing movement. More revisionist history.

"The mainstream, and correct, history of the politics of civil rights is as follows. Southern white supremacy operated out of the Democratic Party beginning in the nineteenth century, but the party began attracting northern liberals, including African-Americans, into an ideologically cumbersome coalition. Over time the liberals prevailed, forcing the Democratic Party to support civil rights, and driving conservative (and especially southern) whites out, where they realigned with the Republican Party."

That summarized it perfectly from OnePercenter's link.

 

[Freewill]

Someone in another thread wanted a Republican racist to be named. My response was that the left would name George Wallace. Funny stuff. Not sure what the article of the OP states, I try not to read stuff where one side is trying to tell me what the other side thinks.

An oversimplification based on hyper partisanship from one of the biggest poseurs of this board.
Shocking.
