IF you think the Chicago police in the 60's was liberal, you are a bigger moron than I thought....Fred Hampton was a 21-yr old leader of the Black Panthers chapter in Chicago.....he was murdered by the Chicago police....one of the key targets of the FBI's "COINTELPRO" program...Yes, the FBI spied on him and actively tried to ruin him and his movement.....via COINTELPRO....they most likely murdered Fred Hampton....I am not avoiding it at all...i highlighted the major policy they took issue with and why some dems created a third party that one yearI like how you avoid talking about the policies....They opposed Truman on one major issue, he integrated the military, which was largely done at the behest and recommendations of folks like Gen Eisenhower (R), who later did most of the enforcement after he won the Oval in 53Now tell us what was the POLICY PLATFORM of the Dixiecrats back then and why did they oppose the National Democratic Party convention back when Strom was running things??Dixiecrats are and were dems....the Dixiecrats, were a few dems that started their own party to run against Truman in '48, but then were quickly welcomed back in with open arms in the next election by the DNC.....in fact one Senator from the Dixiecrats in 48 was selected as a running mate on the DNC presidential ticket in the next election:So in other words you can't name a prominent conservative who was down south along side of the people I showed you pushing for Civil Rights....got it...What are you talking about? They had everything to do with it, it was Sen Trumbull, a Conservative, who worked hand and hand with Lincoln to draft the 13th Amendment and Congressman James Wilson...another Conservative...it was vetoed by President Johnson, a Dem, but later passed in 1870, when Grant, a Conservative was President.Conservatives had ZERO to do with 1866 Voting Rights and definitely not the 1965 Voting Rights.....Not at all I support all those moves by the Conservatives...what the Dems were doing to African-Americans then was horrible....You would have said the same about the Voting Rights Act Of 1965, the Voting Rights Act of 1866; the 19th Amendment...basically any voting rights bill aimed at expanding voter participation...I think he is right, most election reforms, in particular what we have seen out HR1, are solutions in search of a problem.
GOP doesn't need election reform to win, Georgia's lieutenant governor says
"I'm one of those Republicans that want more people to vote," Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan said.www.politico.com
"Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan on Sunday said he wants to expand voting, calling many voting reform proposals "solutions in search of a problem." -- 'I think there’s millions of Republicans waking up around the country that are realizing that Donald Trump's divisive tone and strategy is unwinnable in forward-looking elections," Duncan said. "Republicans don't need election reform to win, we need leadership," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press," disavowing former President Donald Trump's attempts to undermine faith in elections." Duncan acknowledged that his views on keeping voting accessible are a minority viewpoint in his party, saying that the misinformation surrounding the November election hurt Republicans' credibility."
Is this guy insane??? You can't possibly be a good conservative and advocate for expanding voting rights and increasing the level of voter participation -- that is suicidal logic for any GOP politician. Obviously this guy is not a conservative and is just another Deep State Democrat plant. The GOP leadership needs to call for Duncan's resignation immediately and also look into filing criminal charges as well; since it is obvious he and that fat whore Stacey Abrams were the ones behind all of the election fraud in Georgia.
Because that is what Conservatives have ALWAYS been against
Please name a single prominent conservative that was down south marching along side of these people? But of course, I would have to tell you who those people are first -- because they DEFINITELY not household names among CONSERVATIVES

I'll wait while you can't
This was the state of a 100 plus years of Dems objections and fight against any voting rights or civil rights act, until JFK became President and sided with the Conservatives...and we finally got the Voting Rights Act o 1965...signed by Johnson, largely due to political pressure in the shadow of JFK's death
The left has done nothing but divided this nation, largely through race, but by any other means necessary. Frankly the HR1 law is a threat to that very special and important vote, by making it less secure
As for you just trying to excuse away the decades of Jim Crow policy targeted at suppressing voting rights by just saying "Democrats did it" -- is just another cowardly way conservatives try to avoid their record on voter suppression...
Because the argument those Democrats in the South used to justify their voter suppression is the EXACT SAME ARGUMENT conservatives use today...which tells me that the ideology behind those Jim Crow laws is the same CONSERVATIVE ideology that has opposed EVERY EMANCIPATION effort made by every historically oppressed minority group...
But I am use to conservatives lying about the past
Dixiecrats not Democrats.. and many of the Dixiecrats became Republicans in the mid 1960s.
After the GOP was finally successful in breaking up the power of the DNC terrorist in the south, the Dems stanglehold on the south ended, and we saw the GOP start to win some races, and a change in heart in some Dems....that's a good thing.
Don't worry, I'll educate you.....Directly from the Dixiecrat platform...and you tell me what part of these polices are liberal?
"We oppose and condemn the action of the Democratic Convention in sponsoring a civil rights program calling for the elimination of segregation, social equality"
"We oppose the elimination of segregation, the repeal of miscegenation statutes, the control of private employment by Federal bureaucrats called for by the misnamed civil rights program"
"We oppose federal regulations of private employment practices, voting, and local law enforcement."
On everthing else they were inline, hence why they were all welcomed back with wide open arms by the DNC
I just showed you THE DIRECT policy platform from Dixiecrats and it wasn't just about integrating the military...they opposed all integration, they opposed voting rights protections for minorities, labor rights protections for minorities -- basically the same polices racists have always been against.....why do you continuously avoid talking about policies??
I'm use to it tho....most conservatives avoid discussing policies -- because they know it blows up their bullshit narrative
Sure, all those were issues, but but the DNC didn't support them enough not to be a welcoming place for the Dixiecrats after that 48 election.
Conservatives are happy to discuss policies, Conservatives were all for those things, and had been for years prior to 48 and years after.....it was the left that opposed them and continue to this day to play race politics, because well....they have no real successful policies that work
You can tell yourself lies all you wish; it won't change the fact you are getting destroyed right now....
Because you still haven't managed to name me on single prominent conservative that was down south fighting along side of "LIBERALS" for voting rights.....
People like Fannie Lou Hamer, Bayard Rustin, Medgar Evers, Viola Luizzo are household names with people dedicated to the fight for voting rights, for a reason -- because those people risked their lives for what they believed in...and 2 of them were murdered for it......
Why are you having such a hard time naming any conservatives?? Shouldn't they be household names to yall?? The most prominent conservatives of that era were AGAINST the Voting Rights and Civil Rights act......
I remember.. Conservatives claimed Martin Luther King was a Communist.
But, JFK and LBJ also spied on him.

The secret life of J Edgar Hoover
For half a century, the FBI director waged war on homosexuals, black people and communists. Now, a controversial film by Clint Eastwood is set to reveal some of the explosive truth about him. Here, his biographer Anthony Summers tells allwww.theguardian.com
But that still doesn't refute the fact that CONSERVATIVES oppose the expansion of voting rights and civil rights.....they are doing this TODAY; they didn't suddenly change in the past few years..they have always been this.....
The only reason they try to revise history about the Civil Rights fight of the past is because they lost......and now they have to pretend they were supporters of MLK all along
I don't know who Fred Hampton was.. I do know that everybody was scared of MLK except true liberals. They were furious with the Jews and the outsiders who came to the South to march and push voter registration. There were a few who thought that Jim Crow was an economic Albatross for the South, but those who spoke up were treated very badly.
âThe Murder Of Fred Hamptonâ Still Has Much To Teach, Watch It Here
Fifty years ago Chicago police murdered a 21-year-old rising figure in the civil rights movement. The documentary that avenged him could not be more relevant today.www.forbes.com
He is perhaps most famous for forming alliances with white nationalist groups, latin groups and others all in the pursuit of a solidarity movement centered around labor.....one of his famous quotes is "You don't fight racism with racism, you fight it with solidarity" --- this is why he was scared the establishment shitless...the same with MLK when he started his poor people's campaign....any movement that is predicated on racial solidarity is a threat to the establishment....
That was the LIBERAL Chicago PD, Biff.
Remember that Mayor Daley was a leftard in sheep's clothing. Totally devoted to socialistic thought.
But as long as you acknowledge that the police murdered Fred Hampton and I don't recall a SINGLE CONSERVATIVE at the time outraged by it...
There wasn't a single conservative in Chicago for 50 years, even in the 1960's.
