The Dems' Desperation To Rewrite History

[regent]

So was FDR a Democrat or a Republican? I don't even want to get into was FDR a liberal or a conservative.

 

[Faun]

The GOP has had 50 years since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the voting rights act of 1965, to convince black America that the GOP is still their best friend.

And they got about 5% of the black vote in the last two presidential elections to show for it.

I have a great idea. How about the Republicans enter into a bidding war with the Democrats to win over all these voting blocs? A cell phone in every pocket, welfare checks in the mail, affirmative action on every front, and not just equal pay for women, but more pay for women. Free abortions, free contraceptions, and free day care for all.

Wouldn't we have a wonderful nation?

George Bush tried that by including cell phones in the Lifeline program. How'd that work out for Republicans?

If you want to know which party is more racist, look no further than the U.S. Congress...

Democrats: 42 blacks
Republicans: 1 black

You have to remember that the bulk of the far left think that the history of Iraq started in 2003.

They continue to post this over and over all over this board.

Why do you lie? Of course, I know; the truth won't fit in the box you cannot think outside of.

The history of Iraq, as many have posted, began with the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Mandates, post WW I. Here is a link I posted weeks ago:

NPR

The revision and lies about Iraq are all promulgated by those on the right, efforts to rewrite the history of the abject failure of the NeoCons in and of the GWB Administration in their unwarranted invasion and occupation of Iraq.

So let me get this straight. George Wallace AND Lyndon Johnson were both liberals?

lol.

And Orval Faubus was a liberal Communist, (actually "joined the Communist party" doncha know!) and Bull Conner was "a self-described Socialist."

The things you learn from USMB cons.

The problem isnt that you dont know anything. OK, that is the problem.

When the United States entered World War II, Faubus joined the United States Army and served as an intelligence officer with the Third Army of General George Patton. He rose to the rank of major and was in combat several times. His book, In This Faraway Land, documents the military period of his life. He was active in veterans' causes for the remainder of his life.

When Faubus returned from the war, he cultivated ties with leaders of Arkansas' Democratic Party, particularly with progressive reform Governor Sid McMath, leader of the post-war "GI Revolt" against corruption, under whom he served as director of the state's highway commission. Meanwhile, conservative Francis Cherry defeated McMath's bid for a third term in the 1952 Democratic primary. Cherry became unpopular with voters, and Faubus challenged him in the 1954 primary.

Faubus rejected his father's radicalism for the more mainline New Deal, a pragmatic move. He was elected governor as a liberal Democrat. A 'moderate' on racial issues, his political realism resurfaced as he adopted racial policies that were palatable to influential white voters in the Delta region as part of a strategy to effect key social reforms and economic growth in Arkansas.[3]

The 1954 campaign
In the 1954 campaign, Faubus was compelled to defend his attendance at the defunct northwest Arkansas Commonwealth College in Mena, as well as his early political upbringing. Commonwealth College had been formed by leftist academic and social activists, some of whom later were revealed to have had close ties with the Communist Party of the United States of America. Most of those who attended and taught there were idealistic young people who sought an education or, in the case of the faculty, a job which came with room and board.[4] During the runoff, Cherry and his surrogates accused Faubus of having attended a "communist" school and implied that his sympathies remained leftist. Faubus at first denied attending, and then admitted enrolling "for only a few weeks". Later, it was shown that he had remained at the school for more than a year, earned good grades, and was elected student body president. Faubus led a group of students who testified on behalf of the college's accreditation before the state legislature. Nevertheless, efforts to paint the candidate as a communist sympathizer backfired in a climate of growing resentment against such allegations. Faubus hence narrowly defeated Cherry to win the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Relations were cool between the two men for years, but when Cherry died in 1965, Faubus put politics aside and was magnanimous in praising his predecessor.[4]

You are so fucking dense. Do you even read your own citations?

Translation: I've got nothing to refute with so I'll deflect.
It isnt that you dont know anyhting. Yes, it is that you dont know anything. Look, go get an education before you post here again and save the adults the time it takes to educate you on these issues.

Democrats: 42 blacks
Republicans: 1 black

I see you flunked statistics. You also failed to factor in how frequently black Republican candidates are attacked by the left and called Uncle Tom's among other vile things.

Faun flunked. Period. Every post off topic, filled with logical fallacies or misinformation.

This is rich. Lefwing hacksite Politico has a bit of racialist propaganda aimed at Low Info types. They are attempting to gin up the GOP Racism canard...with a photo of George Wallace.

Too funny by half.

Two things. I read this thread yesterday and just got done reading all the posts. So far I have yet to point out where history was re-written.
Secondly, Politico was called a right wing tool (or something like that) by Media Matters. That leads to me to believe the Politico is quite the left wing hack site that you claim. Is it that Politico doesn't goose-step to the far right's tune so that makes Politico a left wing hack site? The reason I ask that is that many on the far right accuse anything or anybody that doesn't support their agenda 100%. That sure doesn't leave room for people who like to think on their own terms. (And the far lefties think the same way).

And that one black republican there wasn't even elected to his seat.

Hard facts:

Since 1929, there have been a grand total of

Five -- count'em

Five

black republicans elected to Congress.

In that same time frame, 102 Democrats have been elected to power.

Speaks volumes.

Yeah, the NBA is just like candidates for office and people who are elected by democratic vote and given political power in Congress.

If you're going to use representation as proof of racism, be prepared to have your argument destroyed. Democrats pretend to support minorities, but that support disappears faster than Lindsey Lohan when the cops show up if any minority person dares to stray from the party plantation.

Hey, you don't have to tell me that bribing and threatening the media hasn't paid dividends.

Wow, that's proves everything.

We can go home now folks.

Fauns' shown us all how racist the GOP really is. Hardly any blacks want to be one.

Or could be just that running as a Democrat is easier because they own the mainstream media?

Isnt it funny that Repubs say that Dems buy votes and then they have no reasoning why such a small segment of the black population votes.

Dems are buying votes then the voters dont vote! Makes perfect sense!!

I remembered watching in 2004..what looked like a Minstrel show -- as the 2004 GOP had its Convention, it was quite a spectacle, as the RNC tried to convince Americans how "inclusive" they were...with black Americans singing and dancing on stage -- but the camera panned the audience and delegates, and it was pretty much allllllll white.

Pretty funny.

That recollection reminded me of this article written then:

"The uninformed viewer watching TV coverage of this week's Republican national convention in New York might come away thinking that the President's party is built upon a solid commitment to inclusion of racial minorities. Once again, as it does every four years, the Republican Party is trying to portray itself as a 'big tent,' with room for every American.

But a new book about America's political divisions notes that the 99 percent of all Republican legislators across the country and in Congress are white. The national Republican Party, whose base is in the South, the Plains and the Mountain states, looks to white men as its power base and source of leadership. Even when Republican states have significant minority populations, the elected Republican representatives rarely are drawn from those communities.

The Great Divide: Retro vs. Metro America, a new look at political divisions in America by educator-entrepreneur Dr. John Sperling, calls those states 'Retro America,' and notes: 'Its whiteness and maleness are mirrored in the Republican Party.'

Of 3,643 Republicans serving in the state legislatures, only 44 are minorities, or 1.2 percent. In the Congress, with 274 of the 535 elected senators and representatives Republican, only five are minorities - three Cuban Americans from Florida, a Mexican American from Texas and a Native American senator originally elected as a Democrat.

'President Bush's home state leads the way. Texas, with a minority population of 47 percent, has 106 Republicans in the state legislature, but there are 0 blacks and 0 Hispanics among them."

When it comes right down it -- 50 years later, these numbers are what really tell the story, and you can yell and scream about how the GOP doesn't "pander" (yeah, that's a pile of shit, they sure do, when they want they want the demographic) -- and you cons can pop off about how "blacks are on the plantation" -- but then you just (without apparently knowing it) show your disdain for the black race...in fact, pretty much everything I hear from cons on this tells blacks-- we really don't want you in our party.
