151 years ago today: Democrats founded and staffed the Ku Klux Klan

[Faun]

The Democratic Party founded the KKK for the express purpose to taking back the state houses of the south after the Civil War through terror and intimidation.
"

Except of course as you know it- that is a lie.

The Democratic Party never founded the KKK.

6 white men.
6 white Christian men.
6 white Christian Southern men.
6 white Christian Southern Confederate Veteran men- found the KKK

No evidence that they were Democrats at all.

Of course you don't say Christians founded the KKK- because that doesn't work with your racist agenda. Nor do you say Southerners founded the KKK, because that doesn't work with your racist agenda.

Meanwhile what you are desperately trying to avoid is what African Americans think of the Republican Party- which is that you are now the party of the KKK

Just as Martin Luther King Jr. said you are

The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right

Why do you keep denying the racist heritage of the Democratic Party?
n

Why do you are you calling Martin Luther King Jr. a liar?

I don't. I call you a liar. MLK was a Republican!

Why are you calling Martin Luther King Jr. a liar- and a Republican?

Here is what Martin Luther King Jr. said about you and your party

The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right

MLK on the Republican Nomination of Barry Goldwater | The Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change

And yeah- MLK Jr. correctly identified you.

• "It is disingenuous to imply that my father was a Republican. He never endorsed any presidential candidate, and there is certainly no evidence that he ever even voted for a Republican. It is even more outrageous to suggest that he would support the Republican Party of today, which has spent so much time and effort trying to suppress African American votes in Florida and many other states." ~ Martin Luther King III

• "I regret having said to a group of peers that my Uncle M. L. was a Republican. I said that without having all the facts. My Grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. was a registered Republican. Uncle M. L. was an independent, who in his own words tended to vote Democrat. I assumed that since Granddaddy was a Republican, Uncle M. L. was too." ~ Alveda King

Wanna see mine?

>> I have few regrets in my life. At the top of the list is the demise of two children in my womb, and one miscarriage. Next to that, I regret having said to a group of peers that my Uncle M. L. (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) was a Republican. My Grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. was a registered Republican. Uncle M. L. was an independent. I assumed that since Granddaddy was a Republican, Uncle M. L. was too. After all, before the election of President John F. Kennedy, the majority of African American voters were Republicans*. Granddaddy convinced a large block of Blacks to vote for President John Kennedy after he helped to get my uncle out of jail during those turbulent days. Uncle M. L. tended to vote Democrat, but remained independent because he found weaknesses in both parties. The truth of the matter is that God isn't a Republican or a Democrat or a Tea Party voter. God doesn't vote. The squabbling and division among the parties is tragic. << -- Alveda King: 'Put the Political Strife Out to Pasture' ​

Which aligns with what King himself said:

>> I don’t think the Republican party is a party full of the almighty God nor is the Democratic party. They both have weaknesses.
And I’m not inextricably bound to either party. I’m not concerned about telling you what party to vote for. But what I’m saying is this, that we must gain the ballot and use it wisely2.”

(2. During a sermon in Atlanta one month earlier, King revealed that he had been offered money by both political parties to rally black voters for the 1956 election: They told me they had $75,000 to spend towards obtaining the Negro vote. A large part of this money would have been set aside for my own advantage. I studied their offers long and prayed over it again and again. Then I told them I couldn’t do it. I knew it would have given me anopportunity to educate my children and would have given me my first possessions in the world, but I could not sacrifice my soul in the structure of partisan politics” (“King Warns Leaders Of PartisanPolitics,” Montgomery Advertiser, 14 January 1958). << -- Interview transcript here​

--- and of course that letter to a supporter that said:

>> Thanks for your very kind letter of September 17, making inquiry concerning the way the Negro will vote in the coming election. I am of the impression that the Negro voter will go largely for the Democratic Party.​

I haven’t fully decided which candidate I will vote for. In the past I have always voted the Democratic ticket. At this point I am still in a state of indecision. Stevenson seems to be more forthright on the race question than Eisenhower, but the Democratic Party is so inexplicably bound to the South that it does leave doubt in the minds of those interested in civil rights. Let us all hope that the candidate most concerned with the welfare for all people of America will win the election.

Sincerely yours,
M. L. King, Jr.,
President

* - actually Alveda King is wrong here too; African Americans started voting toward the Democratic Party early in FDR's administration. They did spike in 1964 but the pattern was already established for three decades. We've done this before too. Part of the evolution/devolution of the two parties since the 19th century noted earlier.


Watcha got?

. Martin Luther King Sr. was a Republican, that would almost certainly make his son a Republican.

Ding is so ignorant he thinks being Republican is genetic.

Ding prolly shoulda called himself "Bzzzzt".

It's right there where the fuck it always was before you removed it, ASSHOLE, right where it still is after I restored it, ASSHOLE, and it works perfectly well. Wanna see the rest of what she wrote from the same link, so you can cut it out of the next quote, go like a four-year-old and pretend it too never existed, ASSHOLE?

Here ya go microbrain:

>> Wise Christian leaders such as Dr. Billy Graham and others who have visited the White House over the years to advise sitting presidents have focused on the times and not the parties. I'm beginning to understand the wisdom of such. As a result, I am no longer endorsing political candidates, choosing rather to vote responsibly and to follow the Bible instructions that we must pray for all people, including those in authority.

As a Christian leader and civil rights activist, Uncle M. L. followed a pattern of not publicly endorsing a U.S. political party or candidate. He wrote: "I feel someone must remain in the position of non-alignment, so that he can look objectively at both parties and be the conscience of both -- not the servant or master of either." In a 1958 interview, he expressed his view that neither party was perfect, saying, "I don't think the Republican party is a party full of the almighty God nor is the Democratic party. They both have weaknesses ... And I'm not inextricably bound to either party."

As one who has been elected to office as a Georgia State Representative (D), served as a presidential appointee (R) and who has often voted as an Independent, I can truly say that we would all be better off without the political squabbles that tend to divide us.<<​

[Little-Acorn]

Does poor little pogo still expect us to believe that the Confederates were all loyal Lincoln voters?

 

[Little-Acorn]

Does poor little pogo still expect us to believe that the Confederates were all loyal Lincoln voters? In particular the half dozen who founded the Ku Klux Klan? And the thousands who quickly joined, bought or made their own robes and hoods, and took pride in lynching blacks, murdering them, and terrorizing them and their families by burning crosses in front of their home?



Yup, poor little pogo is trying to pretend they were all dedicated Republicans, voted for Lincoln, and opposed the thugs who kept attacking black people and other minorities.

Hard to imaging the degree of insanity these fanatical liberals have descended to, to come out with the crazy things they want normal people to believe.

As I told moron-boi earlier today they weren't voters at all. NOBODY voted in 1865 Tennessee -- it was disenfranchised by the War. Dumb shit.

As I also told moron-boi, even then they were all in their 20s so it's doubtful they had any voting record at all, being too young.

As I further pointed out to moron-boi, Tennessee in the 1860 election voted for John Bell, the candidate of the Constitutional Union Party, as did Virginia and Kentucky. That party, which favored staying with the Union (hence its name) and took no particular stance on slavery (being a descendant of the Whigs) was popular around this region, where local voters elected NOT to secede, but were outvoted by the rest of their states.

And finally as I fourthly told moron-boi, the 1860 Democratic candidate Stephen Douglas got no electoral votes in Tennessee -- or in any other state in the entire South. He pulled exactly the same number of Southern EVs as Lincoln did, which was Zero. Got shut out. And Lincoln's name wasn't even on a ballot there while Douglas' was.

Any more questions, Iggie? Or do you wanna keep traipsing out to the battlefield of history, unarmed? I don't take no prisoners.

This weak ass Opinion piece on Christian Newswire?

Or Alveda King in a video?

To be clear, you're claiming that Dr. Alveda King is lying?

 

[Little-Acorn]

NOBODY voted in 1865 Tennessee -- it was disenfranchised by the War.

Notice how poor little pogo twists and bends himself and his stories into ever more bizarre shapes, trying to maintain his fictions in the face of persistent facts that make his conclusions impossible.

Of course, the Ku Klux Klan after the civil war was made up almost entirely of Democrats, not Republicans. Poor little pogo hates that fact, so keeps spinning his fantasies and lies to desperately pretend otherwise.

 

[GWV5903]

And Pogo the Bozo will tell you it's not a Democrat...

To be clear I'm claiming that *YOU'RE* lying. Only a dishonest partisan HACK would cut the link out and then go "duh where is it"?

I can't help noticing that the older video of Alveda King is posted on YouTube October 14 2013 ---- exactly ONE DAY --- count 'em, (1) --- after the retraction/correction by Alveda King that I linked................ and that that video has its comments DISABLED so that nobody can correct the obvious lie --- in a puerile attempt to rewrite the history books through YouFuckingTube.

Fucking liars. I don't know how the fuck they sleep at night.
