Happy Anniversary, Bobby!

The longest anti-civil rights filibuster was the work of conservative Democrat Strom Thurmond, who later became a revered conservative Republican.

when you want to show how much you hate you go all out bubba.

Do you wish to debate me on whether or not opposition to the Civil Rights bill was conservative, regardless of party designation?

who ere the parties involved. I give two shits who was what when and where. The dems are the party of hate. civil war !!!

On This Day in 1964, Democrats Filibustered the Civil Rights Act

And a short while later, the GOP assumed the anti civil rights mantle and locked up the southern yokel vote for a generation

Even as Klaatu landed on the Ellipse in his bright silver spaceship.

^^^^Complete unadulterated BS

What party now celebrates the confederacy? What party do southern social conservatives support today? What party viciously opposes diversity and multiculturalism today?

What party is trying to destroy and rewrite its history by removing all evidence of its support of slavery?

Looks like a bunch of Southerners filibustering the Civil Rights Act

It was a Democrat who signed it into law

It was a Republican who got it through so it could be signed. Of course Johnson and Dirksen had differing motives, Dirksen to permit the vote, and Johnson to "have those ni$$ers voting Democrat for 200 years."

Goddamnit why do conservatives keep brining up the fact that Dem's were racist Klan members and voted to keep the black man down? I hate it when the right expose Dem lies and hypocrisy.

Speaking of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, let’s review (since they don’t teach this in schools): The percentage of House Democrats who supported the legislation? 61 percent. House Republicans? 80 percent. In the Senate, 69 percent of Democrats voted yes, compared with 82 percent of Republicans


"The gallery was packed on June 10, 1964, as all one hundred senators were present for the climactic moment of the longest filibuster in Senate history. Late in the morning Everett Dirksen (R) rose from his seat to address the Senate. In poor health, drained from working fourteen-, fifteen-, and sixteen-hour days, his words came quietly. "There are many reasons why cloture should be invoked and a good civil rights measure enacted. It is said that on the night he died, Victor Hugo wrote in his diary substantially this sentiment, 'Stronger than all the armies is an idea whose time has come.' The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing of government, in education, and in employment. It must not be stayed or denied." After Dirksen spoke for fifteen minutes the motion for a roll call vote for cloture was heard. As each name was read, members of the press and spectators in the gallery kept tally. At 11:15 a.m., Senator John Williams (R)of Delaware replied "aye" to the question. It was the sixty-seventh vote; cloture had passed, opening the way for the Civil Rights bill to be passed. After successfully defeating the eighty-three-day filibuster, Dirksen, when asked how he had become a crusader in this cause, replied, "I am involved in mankind, and whatever the skin, we are all included in mankind.""

You would think that their other senses would be heightened to compensate. Like my albino dog when her eye failed, she could see with her nose. I think it's a willful blindness with some of them.

"The Democrats have been sedulously rewriting history for decades. Their preferred version pretends that all of the Democratic racists and segregationists left their party and became Republicans starting in the 1960s. How convenient. If it were true that the South began to turn Republican due to Lyndon Johnson’s passage of the Civil Rights Act, you would expect that the Deep South, the states most associated with racism, would have been the first to move. That’s not what happened. The first southern states to trend Republican were on the periphery: North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee and Florida. (George Wallace lost these voters in his 1968 bid.) The voters who first migrated to the Republican Party were suburban, prosperous “New South” types. The more Republican the South has become the less racist."

Tell that to a white or asian Christian who can't get into college or get a job because his race and religion keeps him from obtaining it.

Ooooh, fun with fractions shows that a smaller percentage of Dems voted for the Act than did Reps. Period.
How many days was that Democratic led filibuster trying to keep the act from coming up to a vote? Oh, that's right, 83 days!

The politicians in those states voted against it, so they were not voted out of office for what the rest of the country did. I created a schism in the Democrats. They eventually retired. They no longer have a segregationist wing do they?
