My apologies to John Hawkins for stealing his "DU post of the day" technique, but I like to make fun of the idiots, too.
In honor of MLKJ Day, let's see what DU is saying about racial issues in America. This thread is entitled What caused the 180 from Republicans on civil rights? The question itself is pretty funny. Check this out:
If you saw Reconstruction on PBS (or just know your history), you know that after the Civil War, the positions Dems & Repubs take for granted today were largely reversed. Dems largely opposed civil rights and were pretty downright evil about it. What I don't know (and the PBS doc didn't cover), is WHEN things changed -- when we finally wised up and became the party of equal rights, integration, etc. and when the Repubs reversed course and became the Evil Empire.
Ah, yes, the good old "Republicans are evil" meme. This is off to a promising start. Let's go into some extended entry goodness for a few examples of tinfoil hattery at its finest...
[DISCLAIMER: Yes, I am selectively choosing the funniest quotes and ignoring some that almost make sense, and in some cases, I'm not including the entire response. If you want to read all of them, click the link.]
Before we get into the racial stuff, I should point out that this thread also gives us an example of paranoia/elitism/immaturity toward conservatives (take your pick). One person posted an excerpt from Townhall.com, and this response followed:
Townhall editorial? As in townhall.com?
Gee, what does the Manhattan Institute, the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation have to say about the subject? As long as we're going to cite conservatives as valid sources, why stop with townhall.com?
"As long as we're going to cite conservatives as valid sources." Must be that "S Factor" thing. We can't be trusted to be objective! All right, let's move on to race. These are great:
Bush's appointment are tokens. They are specially selected because
they don't have a mind of their own, or more tragically, they thought they could work within the system. But now people like Powell and the other do-hickey who just left the Senate figured out that the Christian Right racists in your party would never let them have their way.
Passing legislation targeted at helping minorities: Democrats, unquestionably. Repubs have been trying to undo preferential legislation.
"Preferential legislation?" Wouldn't "whites only" fall into that area as well? Just askin'...
All the republican neighbors that I know are racist...So my experiences trump your pro-Republican point of view.
"Townhall.com=lies, but personal experience=fact." I can always count on DU to give me a good laugh.
I know very few republicans who are not racist. Many, many republican voters and republican politicians are racist. This is why republican politicians court racist organizations so slavishly.
Oh, no doubt about it. Remember when Dubya gave that great speech to the KKK? Of course you don't. Idiot.
And which party has more minorities elected in the House?
It is not just between black and white either. My two Democratic Senators are both ethnic minorities - one Asian American and one Native Hawaiian. I would argue that Democrats have a significantly better record on minority issues than Republicans do (at least in recent history).
No white senators? You hateful bigots!!!
Question: What kind of ignorant f*ck would count only Senators for this?
Answer: An ignorant racist republican f*ck.
I'll let the double standard speak for itself. And this one:
The guy who wrote the article is either an ignorant racist republican f*ck, or even more evil, someone who supports ignorant racist republican f*cks even though he himself is not.
Look how tolerant they are! I feel so bad about myself after seeing how open-minded the other side can be.
Good ol' DU.
Posted by CD on January 19, 2004 02:17 AMWhat about all the minorities who are Republicans?
I was on the Hispanic/Latino GOP Team Leader phone conference last week--and there was a large turn out--of minority Republicans *gasp*
And what about: Powell, Rice, Estrada, Chavez, Sowell, Armstrong Williams (I think that's his name), Thomas, Judge Brown (who gets filibustered)...and most importantly me *smirk*
Are all them racists?
Posted by: jaws at January 19, 2004 05:38 PMAccording to DU logic, apparently they are.
Posted by: CD at January 19, 2004 05:42 PMI truly and soundly believe that racists have occurred more frequently through the Democratic Party than the republican side. For instance more Hispanic vote went to YOUR republican president this year than YOUR Democratic nominee. Governor George Wallace a democrat ran one of the most racist’s campaigns in Alabama in 1962 saying segregation now! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation forever! The civil rights act of 65 was not signed by YOUR friend Al Gore Sr. when he was in the senate. And actually, (although the house and the senate were ruled by mostly democrats in 65') more percentage of republicans (%80 in the house--138 for, 38 against and in the senate 27 for 6 against, %82) voted for the civil rights act than democrats (%61 in the house (152 for, 96 against) and in the (senate 46 for, 21 against) %69). Brown vs. Board of education ruling was set in stone by Chief Justice Warner who was a republican governor of California and ran for the republican president nominee losing to Dewey, (Dewey lost to Truman). He also mended a rather broken up Supreme Court left by the death of chief justice Vinson. To top it off President Clinton put "Senator Robert Boyd" and ex "Klansman" third in line for the presidency after Vice President and speaker of the house. So you tell me who are more racists? History has states that Democrats are more racists than Republicans. Even our black caucus friend Jesse Jackson who is "suppose to be a civil rights leader" note the word "civil," disagreed 1 to 2 months ago with Sean Sanity, in using force to remove Sadam Hussein. Sadam killed 300,000 people or more and that’s civil? Nobody should be a civil rights leader and agree with this preacher! But all in all you decide!

Sadam killed 300,000 of his own people or more and that’s “civil?” Nobody should be a civil rights leader and agree with this preacher! Many of the more “predominate black republicans” have been influential to the USA. Take for instance, “Hiram Revels who was the first black man (who was republican) in Mississippi to become a congress man, also big names like Pinchback (the first black governor, a republican) and Joseph H. Rainey (the first black member of the house of representative, also a republicans) and to end Blanche Bruce (the first black man to serve a full term in the senate, a republican).” (Larry elder, Ten Things You Cant Say In America) These are all black men who all were strong leaders.
