151 years ago today: Democrats founded and staffed the Ku Klux Klan

[GWV5903]

Christian Republican klansmen lynched many Americans.....

Link?

 

[Pogo]

Once AGAIN I've already seen these 1871-72 documents. I know what they say and what they don't say. If there was such a history in it, you could cite a page number. There isn't one.

I've got other government docs (hard copy, 1967) that DO cite the founding history and it's exactly what I've laid out here.

They passed legislation after the testimony, jackass. Why do you think they did that? History shows that Democrats took back their political offices after the KKK was formed. Why do you think that happened, jackass? Good Lord, you are stupid and a liar.

See what I mean? "Why do you think they did that" is not what we call "evidence". It's what we call "speculation".

Moreover it's a complete non sequitur.anyway. Whether or not they passed legislation IN NO WAY depends on "who founded it for what purpose".

Holy SHIT engage brain cells.

The fact that you dismiss almost 150 years of your Party's history of slavery, racism and segregation tells me that you are not objective and it does not surprise me that you do not see the self evident conclusions of the 13 fucking volumes of Congressional testimony that along with the public record and outcomes of your party's reign of terror prove beyond a fucking shadow of doubt their culpability. It is with great pleasure that I note that anyone who is as fucking dishonest as you are will reap their own predictable surprises in life. I sleep like a baby knowing what kind of life you lead.

Once again I have no "party's history" because I have no party. I have HISTORY -- period. That means all of it. And once again this just in for the 8173rd time ---- NOT EVERYTHING IN HISTORY RELATES TO A FUCKING POLITICAL PARTY.

And once again again, "self-evident" is not "evidence". It's speculation. Put some actual meat on those bones and we'll talk turkey. Until you can do that it's hot air.

You keep saying that you have no party history but your actions belie your words. As to your blanket denial of your party's 150 year history of slavery, racism, segregation and KKK activities, you can deny it until you are blue in the face. That doesn't change the truth. It only makes you look like a liar and a fool.

Exactly. Crickets.

Across the South, the Klan and other terrorist groups used brutal violence to intimidate Republican voters. In Kansas, over 2,000 murders were committed in connection with the election. In Georgia, the number of threats and beatings was even higher. And in Louisiana, 1000 blacks were killed as the election neared. In those three states, Democrats won decisive victories at the polls.

Thirty years ago I did some dumb things, I don't do them any more. so what's your point? Do they still support the KKK?

 

[paperview]

Democrats won decisive victories at the polls.

Indeed. Let's have a looksee about electing black democrats to congressional power. Power. Where it's at.

There were seven African Americans in Congress 1900 -1965
Oscar Stanton De Priest Republican Illinois 1929-1935
Arthur W. Mitchell Democrat Illinois 1935-1943

Charles Diggs Democrat Michigan 1955-1980
Robert N.C. Nix, Sr. Democrat Pennsylvania 1958-1979
John Conyers Democrat Michigan 1965-present

All but one: Democrat. The Republican party as a whole used to be more liberal (take a look at party platforms before 1965)

We know since the about the mid sixties, the ideology shifted more and more Conservative - as a whole.

So how has that shaken out when it comes to which party elects blacks to positions of Power?

You'll notice it says nothing about a political party founding. Because there isn't any.

This from the "Self Professed Expert" who cannot recognize the South was Democrat, the slave owners were Democrats, the State Governors were Democrats...

It's called denial...

Nope. It's called Evidence: lack thereof.

The offer remains on the table unmolested --- "Prove me wrong".

Even if we were to entertain this probability fallacy .....

"the South" didn't found the Klan...
"the slave owners" didn't found the Klan...
"the state governors" didn't found the Klan.

Six ex-Confederate soldiers did. Six people who have been named about whom zero information links them with politics at all.

Once again if you missed that number it's -------------- zero.

 

[emilynghiem]

Yeah, and McDonalds is the greatest advocate against obesity.

Then you tell me. Who is the greatest advocates of our civil rights?

... .

If you were really an American you'd know it's the American people themselves.

Nice bullshit answer . It's also Americans who are the biggest threat .

Then you had better move somewhere else for your own safety.

That's ok . I have the ACLU to help if needed .

And they also help "Christians " . Don't believe the hype that they are somehow anti religious.

The aclu even has defended the klan!

Dear Timmy
Have you ever tried to get help from the ACLU?
Most people cannot.
Only if you have a high profile case that will rack in money
to pay lawyers and promote the case in the media for politics.

I have SOOO many friends in the progressive and minority communities
who suffered REAL discrimination, legal abuse, and civil right violations.

NONE could get ACLU to help.
All monied elitists. That's what the legal system has become.

Congratulations. You have just proven there are not many black Republicans because 94% of blacks are Democrats. You are an intellectual giant. Now why don't you look at the proportion of black democrats that should have held office in the Democratic Party and you will find that they are woefully under-represented. It seems that your party likes their votes but that's about all.

 

[Syriusly]

Republican + democrat are just titles .

Think conservatives and liberals. That has never changed .

Fast forward to today . As anyone who has. Confederate flag flying outside their home what party they belong too. The answer won't be "democrat" !!!

Nor do Democrats put the Constitution and due process for citizens BEFORE partisan agenda. Timmy you won't find Democrats waving copies of the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, but rainbow flags putting the beliefs of some people over the beliefs of others, while at the same time denouncing if Christians push their beliefs into public policy. It's only a constitutional violation if *Christians* do that, but LGBT can push THOSE relative beliefs on everyone else and penalize them for not complying. Because LIBERAL partisan beliefs are "more important" than Constitutional principles that protect everyone's beliefs equally. Conservative beliefs don't count, only liberal beliefs. To them the rainbow flag is a more important symbol than the US flag. Transgender bathroom policies should be worshipped and followed blindly, where anyone who questions security concerns for anatomical men using girls restrooms is attacked as a "bigot"; so LGBT creeds should come first over any other beliefs, and adopted by all people even while refusing to stand for the national anthem or to salute the flag " which should remain a free choice to reject." But not bathroom policies or free choice whether to believe and recognize gay marriage or not. only Liberals have the right to impose beliefs on the nation, but nobody else can or it violates "separation of church and state." Liberals are the exception because secular BELIEFS "don't count as imposing religion" so its legal for them and illegal for any other beliefs!

How do you think the ACA mandates got passed that deprive citizens of free choice? Only because Democrats in Congress voted for federal govt over personal free choice, and and a Democrat President endorsed it. Had a Republican President forced this bill, that requires citizens to pay to join Christian health ministries to be exempted from tax penalties, the liberals would have screamed for individual free choice. But as long as Democrats push partisan agenda, that trumps the Constitution and becomes the law of the land.

How many Constitutionalists are Democrats? I am one and can't find others. The other Democrats i know put party platform first before the Constitution. Why is that?

Why do you think they hate the ACLU , the greatest defender of our civil rights ?

Thanks for proving my point .

Tell me . Who fights for our civil rights ?

Dear Timmy the leftwing agenda fights for rights from that side, thus the ACLU is biased in defending Atheists but not Christians for example.!

What a stupid claim.

The ACLU is biased for defending the Civil Rights of both Christians and Athiests

The ACLU Fights for Christians

COLORADO SPRINGS –The Colorado Springs Gazette has reported that a local middle school has announced a policy forbidding students from wearing certain Christian symbols to school, unless they are worn underneath clothing.

The ACLU strongly opposes the decision of Colorado Springs School District 11 on the basis of religious liberty.

Mark Silverstein, Legal Director of the ACLU said, “The First Amendment protects the right of students to express their faith by wearing crosses, rosaries, or other religious symbols without interference from school officials. Our Constitution protects the right to individual religious liberty and the ACLU is here to support everyone who chooses to exercise that right.”

The fact that you dismiss almost 150 years of your Party's history of slavery, racism and segregation tells me that you are not objective and it does not surprise me that you do not see the self evident conclusions of the 13 fucking volumes of Congressional testimony that along with the public record and outcomes of your party's reign of terror prove beyond a fucking shadow of doubt their culpability. It is with great pleasure that I note that anyone who is as fucking dishonest as you are will reap their own predictable surprises in life. I sleep like a baby knowing what kind of life you lead.

Once again I have no "party's history" because I have no party. I have HISTORY -- period. That means all of it. And once again this just in for the 8173rd time ---- NOT EVERYTHING IN HISTORY RELATES TO A FUCKING POLITICAL PARTY.

And once again again, "self-evident" is not "evidence". It's speculation. Put some actual meat on those bones and we'll talk turkey. Until you can do that it's hot air.

You keep saying that you have no party history but your actions belie your words. As to your blanket denial of your party's 150 year history of slavery, racism, segregation and KKK activities, you can deny it until you are blue in the face. That doesn't change the truth. It only makes you look like a liar and a fool.

Anything?


Exactly. Crickets.

Across the South, the Klan and other terrorist groups used brutal violence to intimidate Republican voters. In Kansas, over 2,000 murders were committed in connection with the election. In Georgia, the number of threats and beatings was even higher. And in Louisiana, 1000 blacks were killed as the election neared. In those three states, Democrats won decisive victories at the polls.

"... Nevertheless, the Klan's violent actions proved to many Northerners that the South (i.e. Democrats) had not learned its lesson in the recent war. In this way, the Klan's activities actually backfired. People realized that harsher laws would have to be passed in order to stop the violence and protect Southern blacks. And those laws were soon in coming.

In the 1868 presidential election, Republican Ulysses S. Grant won the office with the slogan, "Let Us Have Peace." Republicans also won a majority in Congress. Many Northerners, disgusted by Klan violence, lent their support to the Fifteenth Amendment, which gave the vote to black men in every state, and the First Reconstruction Act of 1867, which placed harsher restrictions on the South (i.e. Democrats) and closely regulated the formation of their new governments.

Other legislation attacked the Klan more directly. Between 1870 and 1871, Congress passed the Enforcement Acts, which made it a crime to interfere with registration, voting, officeholding, or jury service of blacks. More than 5,000 people were indicted under these laws; a little more than 1,000 were convicted.

In 1871 Congress also passed the Ku Klux Klan Act, which allowed the government to act against terrorist organizations. Grant did not rigorously enforce these laws, although he did order the arrest of hundreds of Klan members (i.e. Democrats). But with the overwhelming support of the Klan in the South (i.e. Democrats), convictions proved difficult to obtain, and the financial panic of 1873 would distract the North from the problems of Southern racism (i.e. Democrats). In 1882 the United States Supreme Court declared Ku Klux Klan Act unconstitutional."

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.”

Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson III, By Robert A. Caro, p662

That's LBJ supposedly speaking to Richard Russell, a Southern segregationist, code-switching to get his point across, about the 1957 civil rights bill. He did that a lot -- even to the point of pronouncing the word "negro" differently to different Southerners to match their own dialect. That's the same 1957 bill that I alluded to a few posts up, where LBJ earned charges of "betrayal" from his fellow Southerners yet got the bill passed after cajoling them and came up personally at least smelling like a rose even if it was at their expense.

According to Malcolm X, LBJ and Richard "Dickie" Russell were best friends and LBJ could have ended it anytime he wanted.]

According to Martin Luther King Jr. the Republican Party became the party of the KKK in 1964

Once again I have no "party's history" because I have no party. I have HISTORY -- period. That means all of it. And once again this just in for the 8173rd time ---- NOT EVERYTHING IN HISTORY RELATES TO A FUCKING POLITICAL PARTY.

And once again again, "self-evident" is not "evidence". It's speculation. Put some actual meat on those bones and we'll talk turkey. Until you can do that it's hot air.

You keep saying that you have no party history but your actions belie your words. As to your blanket denial of your party's 150 year history of slavery, racism, segregation and KKK activities, you can deny it until you are blue in the face. That doesn't change the truth. It only makes you look like a liar and a fool.

Anything?


Exactly. Crickets.

Across the South, the Klan and other terrorist groups used brutal violence to intimidate Republican voters. In Kansas, over 2,000 murders were committed in connection with the election. In Georgia, the number of threats and beatings was even higher. And in Louisiana, 1000 blacks were killed as the election neared. In those three states, Democrats won decisive victories at the polls.

Another lying Right Wing Nut Job.

You are so desperate you have to misquote your own source- inserting the word Democrat when it wasn't there.

Pathetic little lying right wing nut job.

 

[Syriusly]

When you have to resort to YouTubes ----- it shows you can't support a point.

STILL can't answer the question. Because it has no answer. Because it isn't there. Which I already knew.

Videos are just another form of communicating information, pogo. You are getting your ass handed to you, not because I am more intelligent than you, although I probably am, but because what I am posting is the truth. Your heritage is that of a terrorists, racist, thugs. Deal with it because the weight of its 150 year history is overwhelming and will crush you. Your call.

You've had what --- three chances now to cite the citation in what you claim exists in the 1871 document? And yet you can't ----- you traipse over to YouTube where anyone can make any kind of video making any kind of point (or myth) they like without any kind of documentation.
That's because you don't HAVE the documentation. This ploy is as transparent as a new pane of glass.

I'm pretty happy that I've made my case. You on the other hand have no case other than dismissing your defeat and ignoring the incongruities of the cold hard history of historical facts that I have presented to you. I believe you are making a mistake, but it is your mistake to make. I will be more than happy to use your opposition to reality as a platform to share this information with others. Your call.

You made no "case" Elmer. You claimed a document says something it doesn't say and then got called on it.
Next time vet your own material to make sure it works because you can bet someone else already has.

Good Lord, you must be the biggest racist piece of shit .

The biggest racist piece of shit in this thread is you.

There is a reason why African Americans vote against the Republican Party.

And that is because for the last 50 years the Republican Party has been the party that has opposed Civil Rights and the Democratic Party has been the party that supported civil rights.

Your party nominated Barry Goldwater for President in 1964- when he voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

An act that Martin Luther King Jr. noted indicated your party swing to appeal to racists- a swing your party has embraced ever since.

Republican + democrat are just titles .

Think conservatives and liberals. That has never changed .

Fast forward to today . As anyone who has. Confederate flag flying outside their home what party they belong too. The answer won't be "democrat" !!!

Yep, that is just a lie told to keep blacks voting for Democrats. Look how well that has turned out for them. Baltimore, Ferguson, etc. All cities controlled by their Democrat masters. Good job, Timmy.

Another wing nut job who is telling African Americans he is smarter than they are- that African Americans are just too stupid to know how to vote without Mass Ding telling them who to vote for.

Who pushed the 1964 Civil Rights Act through Congress- Lyndon Johnson

Who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act?
The 1964 GOP Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.
President Ronald Reagan
President George Bush

Note how the GOP routinely nominated Presidential candidates who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act- which is explains why Martin Luther King Jr. called on African Americans to not vote for Republicans.

No. That is not correct. He did not push it. He was forced into it. Republicans had been pushing it for 100 years..

LOL- I love the Animal Farm tactics of your Right wing nut job revisionist.

President Kennedy proposed the Civil Rights.
When he was assassinated President Johnson used Kennedy's death to push the Civil Rights Act. forward.

And Reagan, Bush and Goldwater- all opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

A master of the art of practical politics, Lyndon Johnson came into the White House after the tragedy of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963. He was energetic, shrewd, and hugely ambitious. Clifford Alexander, Jr., deputy counsel to the president and an African American, remembered President Johnson as a larger-than-life figure who was a tough but fair taskmaster. His legislative program "had such a positive effect on black Americans [it] was breathtaking when compared to the miniscule efforts of the past." The cornerstones of that program were the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Civil rights leaders from across America led by Martin Luther King, Jr. gathered in the East Room of the White House to witness the signing of the Civil Rights Act that signified a major victory in the struggle for racial equality to which they had dedicated their lives. President Johnson also made two political appointments–Robert Weaver as secretary of Housing and Urban Development and Thurgood Marshall as associate Supreme Court justice. For the first time African Americans had positions in the Cabinet and on the Supreme Court. President Johnson appointed more black judges than any president before him and opened the White House not only to black athletes and performers but also to black religious, civic and political leaders in significant numbers. Johnson saw his place in history as being directly related to the improvement of race relations in America and according to Alexander "he was a huge success."

The Democratic Party founded the KKK for the express purpose to taking back the state houses of the south after the Civil War through terror and intimidation.
"

Except of course as you know it- that is a lie.

The Democratic Party never founded the KKK.

6 white men.
6 white Christian men.
6 white Christian Southern men.
6 white Christian Southern Confederate Veteran men- found the KKK

No evidence that they were Democrats at all.

Of course you don't say Christians founded the KKK- because that doesn't work with your racist agenda. Nor do you say Southerners founded the KKK, because that doesn't work with your racist agenda.

Meanwhile what you are desperately trying to avoid is what African Americans think of the Republican Party- which is that you are now the party of the KKK

Just as Martin Luther King Jr. said you are
