The Dems' Desperation To Rewrite History

The article, btw, is brilliant,

mostly because it elaborates on exactly what people like myself have been trying to explain to you ineducable fools for years.

Here's the truth

The Conservative Fantasy History of Civil Rights -- NYMag

The civil rights movement was never a far left wing movement. More revisionist history.

"The mainstream, and correct, history of the politics of civil rights is as follows. Southern white supremacy operated out of the Democratic Party beginning in the nineteenth century, but the party began attracting northern liberals, including African-Americans, into an ideologically cumbersome coalition. Over time the liberals prevailed, forcing the Democratic Party to support civil rights, and driving conservative (and especially southern) whites out, where they realigned with the Republican Party."

That summarized it perfectly from OnePercenter's link.

So you have a comprehensive list of all the converts,say people like Bird and Wallace that switched parties??

Repeating something over and over that is not true will never be true,no matter what.

Goldwater won the South in 1964, the same year he voted against the Civil Rights Act. The South hadn't gone Republican for decades before that, if ever.

Who do you think those voters for Goldwater were? They were Goldwater Democrats. They were conservative, states rights, segregationist Democrats who voted Republican.

Thats why all the other office holders from southern states were Democrats?
You're a simple-minded idiot.

 

[The Rabbi]

In 1968 George Wallace won Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana.

In 1964, Goldwater won 4 of those 5 states among the 6 he managed to win.

See?

See what? That you are simpleton? Yes, I see that.

Rabbi (once again) wins the prize for the most dishonest effort to beat a dead horse. Is this guy as dumb as he seems, or dumber? Clearly he's a liar, and typical of the four year old whose hand is still in the cookie jar as mom looks on, he will continues to lie and say he did not put his hand in the cookie jar.

Hmmmm, maybe Rabbi is simply stuck, and has been a four year old for the past 40 years?

 

[boedicca]

You idiots should at least read the material you post:

No figure was more crucial to the spread of the movement than Alabama Gov. George Wallace, a Democrat, who burst on to the national scene in 1963, first by demanding “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever” during his inaugural address and a few months later by physically blocking two African-American students—the first in the school’s history—from attending the University of Alabama. Overnight, Wallace became not only a hero to the white South, but also the most potent symbol of racial resistance in the country.

Yes, demagoguery is the one and only thing you of the left offer America - and this article is a prime example of demagoguery in action.

[Uncensored2008]

A typically misleading article that the rubes on the Left eat up.
What does it mean to be "left" or "right" on civil rights issues today? It sure isnt the same thing it meant in 1965. In 1965 those on the "right" presumably were in favor of racial restrictions, in favor of racial quotas. In 2014 those same positions are held by those on the "left".
Racism never left the Democratic Party.

The "left" and the "right" meant exactly the same thing in 1950-65 as it does today.

Orval Faubus - the democrat who famously brought out the Arkansas national guard to block black students from entering Little Rock high school, only to be kicked back into the DNC gutter by Republican Dwight Eisenhower is often claimed by leftists to be a "conservative." Except a little research and one finds that Faubus, a bona fide hero of WWI, came back from the war and joined the COMMUNIST PARTY. When FDR was elected, Faubus switched to the democrats, stating the the goals of FDR and the goals of Communism were one and the same.

So was Faubus a "Conservative Communist?" It's utter stupidity - part of the "big lie" campaign of the filthy democratic party. But Faubus is just one democrat scumbag, what about others? What about Fritz Hollings - famous Klansman and racist? I mean, he was surely conservative, right? Well no, Hollings was leader of the far left through the Clinton Administration. How about Klansman Albert Gore - father of Algore - Pope of the AGW religion. Also far left, big government, welfare state advocate. Or maybe the infamous Eugene "Bull" Connor? Nope, Connor was a self-described Socialist. He viewed Negroes as a natural menial labor force for a Socialist state,

The Segregationists were the radical left of the party - racism and leftism are Siamese twins,

[georgephillip]

"The civil rights movement, while a victory on many levels, was also the origin of our present morass.

"It spawned a powerful national 'white resistance' countermovement that decisively altered the racial geography of American politics, pushing the national Democratic and Republican parties off center and toward their ideological margins, undermining the centrist policy convergence of the postwar period and setting the parties on the divisive course they remain on today.

"Many will blame today’s unprecedented political polarization on recent events, such as the rise of the Tea Party or Obama’s election in 2008, but they will be wrong.

"The seeds of America’s dysfunction were planted 50 years ago. And the ugly politics of race had everything to do with it.

Race and the Modern GOP - Doug McAdam and Karina Kloos - POLITICO Magazine

Conservatives, Democrat and Republican alike, overwhelmingly supported the status quo of racial segregation fifty years ago just as they support racist attacks on Islam today.

Somethings never change

 

[regent]

When old Abe and the Republican party raised that slavery thing, self respecting conservative southerners became Democrats. They were Democrat in name but not in philosophy, but they had no other place to go. So the Democrat party ended up with the solid south conservatives voting Democratic those Democrats had different beliefs than the Democratic party. Then FDR started the splitting those Southern Democrats off from the Democratic party. Oh they wanted the votes but just not them. Truman gave the Southern conservative Democrats the biggest shove out of the party. It was tough to lose all those southern votes but it was done. The south tried their own party but it didn't work so they bit the bullet and joined the (ugh) party of Lincoln. The conservative southerner is now a Republican in name and philosophy, but that split causes as much confusion, as did the liberals of the founding period calling themselves Republicans. Conservatives today love to play with those names because they can make Jefferson a conservative and George Wallace a Democrat.

This thread gets funnier by the minute.

Yeah. Me.

And it's getting a lot of notice from those who bother to look at Politico.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The real America is about to reclaim this country and Liberals know it.

Amen to that, Mr. H. Let me repost what you just said.:

[paperview]

Ideologies remain the same.

Parties throughout history, change.

It's the ideology that matters.

Also, when it comes to the Civil Rights shift in our country, it's sectional north/south.

Conservatives can't seem to grasp these factors and it's really not all that complex, but apparently a little too complex for some of them to wrap their heads around.

The picture isn't 'modern'. The article clearly identifies George Wallace as a historical figure and a Democrat. The article also explains the significance of Wallace's split with the Democratic party.

You cannot cite anything in the article that is revisionist history.

That summarized it perfectly from OnePercenter's link.

A summarized version of inaccurate propaganda is still inaccurate propaganda.

a. All Southern Whites were not racist. The ones who were racist, remained racist and are still Democats.
b. The same percentage of racist Whites, also mostly Democrat, existed, and still exist in the Northern and Western states.
c. The South had the Jim Crow laws. Instituted and maintained by the Democrat party. Otherwise, racism was, and still is, pretty much spread evenly across the country.
