PC is getting frantic .... and I'm out of popcorn...I hope she brought some more.
Well, Betty and Moronica, let's review the facts.
1. Democrats demanded slavery and segregation. To fight them, Republicans formed their party to fight those iniquities.
2. Violence has always been the default of the Democrats, so they formed the KKK.
3. These three were murdered by KKK Democrats.
4. The imbecile, Coyote, claimed it was Republicans who killed them.
5. The judge appointed by Democrat JFK gave them light sentences.
He was, of course, a Democrat, and KKK sympathizer.
6. Even the Washington Post had to grudgingly admit this: "Although there is some historical link between Democrats and the KKK, ...."
7. Democrats blocked every anti-lynching bill that the Republicans brought to Congress.
8. The Democrat Party has always been, and is to this day, the party of slavery, segregation and second class citizenship.
Arguably one of the most popular Democrats, Bill Clinton, has always been a racist.
As is always the case.....everything I post is 100% accurate and correct.
Whelp --- apparently not. But it is usually fallacious, if not outright jest plain made up.
Let us proceed. Scalpel please.
1. Democrats demanded slavery and segregation. To fight them, Republicans formed their party to fight those iniquities.
Republicans formed their party largely on Abolition, yes. And yet they ran no candidate in the South before or during the Civil War. And when they struck on a successful candidate in 1860, the Democrat pulled exactly the same number of the South's 88 electoral votes as Lincoln did ---
Zero. And Lincoln's name wasn't even on a ballot. Douglas, the Democrat, finished
fourth winning a total of one, count 'em, one state. And between his defeat and his untimely death a few months later, he worked on Lincoln's behalf to preserve the Union and prevent the Confederacy from happening. Those who wanted slavery gave Douglas zero votes. They had already driven the Democratic convention out of the South.
2. Violence has always been the default of the Democrats, so they formed the KKK.
False. Already documented many times over. Those who actually did form the KKK (both of them) have been named in full. There is no history of political connections for any of them. Period.
The challenge to prove this wrong by showing any such evidence has been on the table in this thread twice, and on this site for literally years. No has yet met it. Which is understandable, since none exists.
3. These three were murdered by KKK Democrats.
4. The imbecile, Coyote, claimed it was Republicans who killed them.
And what I asked you was ---- "link?" And you ran away and tried to obscure the question out of existence with, apparently, appeal to emotion. YOU HAVE NO LINK. You pulled it out of your ass and are thus exposed as a fraud. Next...
5. The judge appointed by Democrat JFK gave them light sentences.
He was, of course, a Democrat, and KKK sympathizer.
Link?
Not a link to the Association Fallacy mind you --- a link to this judge being a "KKK sympathizer".
I imagine it's in the same place.
6. Even the Washington Post had to grudgingly admit this: "Although there is some historical link between Democrats and the KKK, ...."
Geographically, at first.
Then again there's this --- I'll see your historian Eric Foner and raise you another historian, Elaine Franz Parsons
>> "Lifting the Klan mask [19th Century version] revealed a chaotic multitude of antiblack vigilante groups, disgruntled poor white farmers, wartime guerrilla bands, displaced Democratic politicians, illegal whiskey distillers, coercive moral reformers, bored young men, sadists, rapists, white workmen fearful of black competition, employers trying to enforce labor discipline, common thieves, neighbors with decades-old grudges, and even a few freedmen and white Republicans who allied with Democratic whites or had criminal agendas of their own." --- Elaine Frantz Parsons PhD, "Ku Klux: The Birth of the Klan During Reconstruction" (UNC Press) p. 816) <<
--- which is FAR more in line with a self-styled social police force that the Klan WAS, rather than the political arm that appears in your self-drawn comic books, since it wasn't politics they were engaged in.
Moreover it's worth noting that Lester, Kennedy, Crowe, McCord, Jones and Reed were all twentysomethings when they formed the Klan, and likely had never been old enough to vote in the preceding elections anyway, not that anyone living in 1865 Tennessee, which was then outside the United States,
could vote anyway.
Finally, there's this cute little turdlet (plop plop fizz fizz oh what a deceit it is...)
8. The Democrat Party has always been, and is to this day, the party of slavery, segregation and second class citizenship.
Arguably one of the most popular Democrats, Bill Clinton, has always been a racist.
You can "argue" all you like about the ability to read the mind of a party you don't know. I'm sure it will be entertaining. No doubt it includes yet another hackneyed photoshop of a fake campaign button with a Stars & Bars on it. I'm sure these are entertaining in Duh Bubble where reality has no meaning. But here outside of it, I'm afraid Duh Bubble where reality "doesn't count" -- has no meaning. And even if you could read that mind and prove your point valid ----- it would amount to yet another Composition Fallacy. "Person X is a racist; Person X is a Democrat; therefore all Democrats are racists". Funny thing about Composition Fallacies --- you want to count them when the compositor is a Clinton or a Wallace or a Thurmond --- yet when the compositor is a David Duke or a Stetson Kennedy or a D.C Stephenson or an Oscar Underwood --- suddenly the Composition Fallacy fall down go boom and exits the scene wid a quickness.
-- which says much about dishonest argument.
Back in the world of reality though, slavery on the other hand is a
social construct --- not a political ideal. It has existed worldwide for thousands of years, on every continent save Antarctica, and in its transatlantic form since the 1530s when Spanish merchants brought about 150 Africans to what is now South Carolina. That's five hundred years ago.
But of course in 1530 it wasn't "South Carolina", because the United States didn't exist yet, and wouldn't exist for another two and a half centuries, and the Democratic party wouldn't be formed for
three hundred years (1834*). Yet in the interim slavery -- the African imported version --- existed and flourished throughout the Americas. And while it did in this country, those "night patrols" formed to hunt down escaped slaves and operated for generations---- finally infiltrating the Klan starting in 1866 and giving an organizational structure to what had theretofore been a loose practice of ad hoc posses.
Which brings us full circle.
* and the guy that formed that Democratic Party, Marin van Buren by organizing a loose faction of Jacksonians, was himself an Abolitionist who later ran again for President on the Free Soil ticket.
