Whether you focus on ancient history or recent history, Democrat is the party of racism

Exactly. The only difference is modern day Democrats use Racism as a weapon to attack and divide America.

Yes, in the old days if you were black and tried to escape the Democrat plantation Democrats would physically hunt you down and drag you back. Now they do it electronically

Good riddance to a sadistic man who never EVER admitted that he was wrong - about ANYTHING ...
Including WMD in Iraq and their supposed involvement in 9/11.
Save Donald a spot down their Rummy - He's gonna need it within a few years!

Later, in Rumsfeld’s memoir “Known and Unknown,” he would claim that the U.S. was effectively right about the WMD issue. John Nixon, a CIA analyst who interrogated Saddam after he was captured, has said he was motivated by the “gibberish” in books like Rumsfeld’s to write his own to set the record straight.​

​

Rumsfeld’s record on other issues during the Bush years was much the same. He approved a memo delineating which methods of torture of prisoners would be permissible while asking why the military would only make them stand for four hours at a time, given that “I stand for 8-10 hours a day.”​

Rumsfeld managed to do terrible things throughout his life while remaining tremendously banal.

Farewell to Donald Rumsfeld, Dreary War Criminal

Rumsfeld managed to do terrible things throughout his life while remaining tremendously banal.

"In retirement, Rumsfeld spent time at his antebellum vacation home on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Appropriately, it was nicknamed “Mount Misery” and had once been owned by a specialist in “breaking” disobedient slaves. Frederick Douglass was sent there at age 16 for punishment and later wrote, “I was completely wrecked, changed, and bewildered; goaded almost to madness.”

Since Rummy is dead -- I have seen quite a few stories claiming that Rummy purchased a vacation home back in 2003 that was most famously owned by Edward Covey -- a notorious slave owner who was known for something they called "buck-breaking" or slave breaking..and that one of those slaves tortured at this property was Frederick Douglass....that part isn't true....Douglass was tortured at a nearby farm owned by Covey not at the property that Rummy bought.....

Although Covey did attempt to break a then 16 yr-old Frederick Douglass...Covey failed and got his ass kicked by Douglass in the process...I mean literally.......Douglass later wrote:

"Covey asked me if I meant to persist in my resistance. I told him I did, come what might; that he had used me like a brute for six months, and that I was determined to be used so no longer. By this time, Bill came. Covey called upon him for assistance, Bill wanted to know what he could do. Covey said, "Take hold of him, take hold of him!" Bill said his master hired him out to work, and not to help to whip me; so he left Covey and myself to fight our own battle out. Covey sat at length, puffing and blowing at a great rate, saying that if I had not resisted, he would not have whipped me half so much. The truth was, that he had not whipped me at all. I considered him as getting entirely the worst end of the bargain; for he had drawn no blood from me, but I had from him. The whole six months afterwards, that I spent with Mr. Covey, he never laid the weight of his finger upon me in anger again. He would occasionally say, he didn't want to get hold of me again. "No," thought I, "you need not; for you will come off worse than you did before."

Now, Covey would go on to do some more "buck-breaking" at the property that Donald bought and it definitely was called Mount Misery and yes there is some sort of weird coincidence that Rummy and his fondness for torture happened to buy a property famous for torture....but one must admit; breaking big black bucks back then was vital...Can you imagine if enough darkies decided to fight back in greater numbers?? Slavers would have to start importing more Irish and Slavs over here to do free labor...wouldn't had been as fun torturing and dehumanizing them for the next 300 yrs as it was darkies.

Ya got him this time, Biff.

Got who?

Donald Rumsfeld?

No, death has him......

I personally knew Donald wasn't shit back when most of you future Trump sycophants were cheering him on with the Iraq invasion....


If you folks were so "AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR" as you claim....why are you in your feels over this OP?

Link to me making that claim?

If you folks were so "AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR" as you claim

Folks like Biden who voted for the war?

Yes, lots of Democrats were duped into supporting that war....

Except one......in fact, there is only ONE PERSON who stood on her principle from day one..despite all of the attacks.....

Barbara Lee’s Lone Vote on Sept. 14, 2001, Was as Prescient as It Was Brave and Heroic

Barbara Lee’s visionary warnings and solitary courage should always be commemorated on 9/11.

Funny how I don't many "conservatives" here praising her for her courage....instead, yall try to pretend you too were against it all along....

So your excuse is that Dimwingers are easily duped.
