the things they just can't accept, eh? I laugh at these stupid turds. They are walking zombies.Bzzzzz wrong. The Klan was the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.

Truer story!
That's dumb. Conservatism insists on treating people as individuals and does not care about skin color. It is modern liberalism that treats people first as members of groups based on physical characteristics such as skin color, and only secondarily as individuals. You should know that.No, the Klan is the terrorist wing of CON$ervatism!Never claimed that "there aren't any republican klan members", but the Klan was indeed the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.

No, that is just hysterical.Bzzzzz wrong. The Klan was the terrorist wing of the Democrat party. That is a historical fact.No, the Klan is the terrorist wing of CON$ervatism!Never claimed that "there aren't any republican klan members", but the Klan was indeed the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.

Truer story!
The Klan were ALWAYS Southern CON$ervatives no matter what Party they belonged to and even if they had no Party affiliation.
That "CON$ don't see groups" bullshit only works on DittoTards. To the Right you are only an "individual" if and only if you conform to CON$ervatism. So ALL who do not conform to CON$ervatism are GROUPED together as LIBERALS.That's dumb. Conservatism insists on treating people as individuals and does not care about skin color. It is modern liberalism that treats people first as members of groups based on physical characteristics such as skin color, and only secondarily as individuals. You should know that.No, the Klan is the terrorist wing of CON$ervatism!Never claimed that "there aren't any republican klan members", but the Klan was indeed the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.
True story.
Truer story!
Refute what dumbass? You are the one refuting what is considered indisputable history, that the KKK was started by Democrats, and was acting as the military / terrorist wing of the Democrat party. Now, did some republicans, much later subscribe to this warped leftist ideology? Sure.Robert Byrd
Senator Robert Byrd was a Kleagle, a Klan recruiter, in his 20s and 30s.
.Byrd later said joining the Klan was his "greatest mistake." The NAACP gave him a 100% rating on their issues during the 108th Congress.[4] However, in a 2001 incident Byrd repeatedly used the phrase "white *******" on a national television broadcast.[5]
Hugo Black
Late in life Black told an interviewer:
at that time, I was joining every organization in sight!...In my part of Alabama, the Klan was not engaged in unlawful activities....The general feeling in the community was that if responsible citizens didn't join the Klan it would soon become dominated by the less responsible members.[6]
News of his membership was a secret until shortly after he was confirmed for the United States Supreme Court. Black later said that joining the Klan was a mistake, but he went on to say "I would have joined any group if it helped get me votes."[7][8]
Theodore G. Bilbo
Bibb Graves
....Graves like Hugo Black, were politicians who used the strength of the Klan to further their electoral prospects.[14]
Clifford Walker
Governor Clifford Walker.
Clifford Walker, a Democrat and the 64th Governor of Georgia, was revealed to be a Klan member by the press in 1924.
George Gordon
George Gordon, a Democrat and Congressman for Tennessee's 10th congressional districtbecame one of the Klan's first members. In 1867, Gordon became the Klan's first Grand Dragon for the Realm of Tennessee, and wrote its "Precept," a book describing its organization, purpose, and principles.
Cut-n-pasted Composition fallacy.
Kinda makes it hard to explain Edward Jackson -- Governor of Indiana .... Republican. Klan.
KInda akes it hard to explain Rice Means -- Senator from Colorado ... Republican. Klan.
Kinda makes it hard to explain Clarence Morley, Governor of Colorado ... Republican. Klan.
Kinda makes it hard to explain George Luis Baker, Mayor of Portland Oregon... Republican. Klan.
Kinda makes it hard to essplain how a slew of the Anaheim city council got elected... all Republicans, all Klan.
Kinda makes it hard to explain all those Indiana Republicans taken down with D.C. Stephenson in my video link.
Also makes it hard to explain Jack Walton, Governor of Oklahoma (Democrat) who tried to drive the Klan out of that state in the wake of the Tulsa Race Riots and was himself removed from office after a push from the Klan.
Also makes it hard to explain how Oscar Underwood, Senator from Alabama that was the leading voice denouncing the Klan, got pushback from the Klan to deny him a spot as a Presidential candidate .... at the 1924 Democratic convention.
Kinda makes it hard to explain why the first POTUS to prosecute the revived Klan was Lyndon Johnson ... Democrat.
Care to essplain why a "wing of the Democratic party" would be working to elect Republicans over its own candidates? Care to tell the class why a party with such a "wing" would be actively prosecuting that "wing"?
Once again for you short-bus kids at the Academy of Denialism committed to smokescreening history --- the Klan was never an organization formed for politics. When it finally did dabble in politics it used the Democrats you listed in the South, the Republicans I list here --- whatever would suit the purpose of the time. Politics was secondary -- the primary thrust was as a social police force, keeping blacks, Liberals, communists, unionists, Catholics, Jews, gays, immigrants and "loose" women "in their place". It was a Christian-based Sharia Law force.
And while you're at it, why don't you tell the class which political party is likely to be associated with blacks, Jews, immigrants, Catholics, unions and gays? You can kind of figure it out by reading the general threads in this Politics section. Then explain to us why a political party would be persecuting its own constituency.
This is the hole you Revisionistas always dig yourselves.
Good luck getting out of it.
Never claimed that "there aren't any republican klan members", but the Klan was indeed the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.
True story.
I just demonstrated why it CAN'T BE a true story, and you try to burrow even deeper in your own hole.
There's no exit there, I can tell you right now. You're gonna have to come out with your hands up.
I just gave you twenty links and examples that disprove your bullshit. And I have more. You gave me a longwinded cut-n-pasted blog that I shot full of holes in the time it took to type the words.
This is the wages of those of you shortbus kids who think you can derive history out of factually-renegade blogs and Googly Images. The hole you're in.
First thing to do is quit diggin'. Admit you have a problem.
Can you do that?
Refute my links or shut the fuck up.
Yeah, that was funny!
Idiot in the KKK hood, thinks he can act however he wants, well, guess NOT!
The idiot wanted a confrontation.........He got what he wanted. So someone like you can say someone else caused it. He came into PISS PEOPLE OFF................Yeah, that was funny!
Idiot in the KKK hood, thinks he can act however he wants, well, guess NOT!
The target of the assault --- IS NOT WEARING A HOOD. Of any type. None.
Wasn't wearing a hood the day it happened ..... wasn't wearing a hood yesterday.... isn't wearing a hood today.... and I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and predict he will not have been wearing a hood tomorrow.
Put your money down.
Y'all are gonna have to eventualy admit --- the assaulter fucked up. Big time.
And he knows it. Soon as he's pulled off he immediately turns around for the handcuffs that he knows are coming.
The idiot wanted a confrontation.........He got what he wanted. So someone like you can say someone else caused it. He came into PISS PEOPLE OFF................
It worked and someone was Pissed off enough to smack his ass down.............Whether there are 2 hoods or 1 doesn't fucking matter..........
Idiot in the KKK hood, thinks he can act however he wants, well, guess NOT!
Who’s The Crazy One?The idiot wanted a confrontation.........He got what he wanted. So someone like you can say someone else caused it. He came into PISS PEOPLE OFF................
You don't know what he came for or what he did while he was there. You weren't there.
It worked and someone was Pissed off enough to smack his ass down.............Whether there are 2 hoods or 1 doesn't fucking matter..........
It sure as fucking hell DOES matter. The quote I quoted said this:
Idiot in the KKK hood, thinks he can act however he wants, well, guess NOT!
On what planet do simple laws of existence "not matter"?
Face it --- the assaulter fucked up. Period. And neither you nor I know whether his motivation even had anything to do with anybody's hood. That's complete speculation. And even if it did, it (a) proves he struck the wrong person, since the victim is plainly NOT WEARING A HOOD, and there's nothing you can do to change that; and (b) would prove that he just doesn't understand mocking satire.
And yet alllllllllll the Rumpoid minions understood mocking satire perfectly well when he went:
---- but now suddenly when the satire's on the other foot, you wanna act all offended?
Can't have it both ways, hypocrite.
Now then --- still wanna play stupid and act like you don't understand what satire is?
Fool I already proved you were wrong. Stop already with trying to rewrite history.Here are some important dates for Mr. Ed the talking leftist donkey to take note of:the things they just can't accept, eh? I laugh at these stupid turds. They are walking zombies.Bzzzzz wrong. The Klan was the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.

At Byrd’s funeral, former Democrat President Bill Clinton said, “He once had a fleeting association with the Ku Klux Klan, what does that mean? I’ll tell you what it means. He was a country boy from the hills and hollows from West Virginia. He was trying to get elected. And maybe he did something he shouldn’t have done come and he spent the rest of his life making it up. And that’s what a good person does. There are no perfect people. There are certainly no perfect politicians.”

STILL not seeing any "leftists" that started the Klan there. Did you forget the question?
ETC has it right --- the Klan was (and is) the terrorist wing of conservatism, specifically the racists. Or if you prefer that long list of poor whites etc that you and I both quoted yesterday.
I'm sure all that cut-n-pasted Composition Fallacy drivel is vaguely interesting to --- someone. Someone who's impressed by jejune Causaition Fallacies. Perhaps some day someone will read it. Here's a couple of interesting tidbits I skimmed off the top:
October 13, 1858
During Lincoln-Douglas debates, U.S. Senator Stephen Douglas (D-IL) states: “I do not regard the Negro as my equal, and positively deny that he is my brother, or any kin to me whatever”; Douglas became Democratic Party’s 1860 presidential nominee
Indeed he did. And in that election got exactly the same number of electoral votes in the South that Lincoln did: Zero.
Know why that is?
Well of course you don't. It isn't conveniently encapsulated in a Googly Image meme or an armchair blog that represents the outer limitations of your miniature cranium.
It's because when the DP had its convention in 1860, the Southern contingent didn't like what they saw, walked out, and started their own parties (two of them) who then took the entire Southern electoral college vote between them. This was of course insufficient against Lincoln who won most of the North. Douglas won a total of one state -- Missouri.
Very much like what they did in 1948 when the Southern contingent didn't like all the talk on "civil rights" coming from Truman and then-mayor of Minneapolis Hubert Humphrey. Again they walked out and ran their own people. These weren't the only two times; it was part and parcel of the dysfunctional alliance in one political party between two vastly different ideologies.
Sorry if this doesn't fit on a bumper sticker or a crackpot blog you can cut and paste without reading. Deal with it.
January 31, 1865
13th Amendment banning slavery passed by U.S. House with unanimous Republican support, intense Democrat opposition
April 8, 1865
13th Amendment banning slavery passed by U.S. Senate with 100% Republican support, 63% Democrat opposition
Yyyyeah um..... Constitutional Amendments are not "passed" by Congress. They're ratified by the States. It's always worked that way.
I didn't bother to read any more past that. Doctor says I need to cut down on drivel-reading.
Now where are these Klan-starting "leftists"?
Hm?
And I want links. Like the dozen I gave you. Like your epic diarrhea post above contains zero of.
-- Which we all know is absolute bullshit blogarrhea from phrases like this:
After violence against Republicans in South Carolina, President Ulysses Grant deploys U.S. troops to combat Democrat terrorists who formed the Ku Klux Klan-- which I've already proven to be bullshit, as the young men who formed the KKK (a) had no political affiliation or interest, and (b) did so in Tennessee, not South Carolina.
Again --- prove me wrong or STFU.
You know, the KKK wasn't started by Democrats, it was started by Southern soldiers who were pissed that they lost the war.
It just so happened that at the time, the South was largely a Democrat stronghold, hence those southerners who started the KKK were Democrat affiliated, but their political leanings had nothing to do with the reason the KKK was started.
Then, in the 50's and 60's, the Republicans came up with something called the Southern Strategy as a way to win over the conservative southerners. The Southern Strategy turned the south for the GOP from then on.
Oh yeah...................the Southern Strategy was based largely on racist views.
In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a strategy by Republican Party candidates of gaining political support in the Southern United States by appealing to racism against African Americans.[1][2][3]
During the 1950s and 1960s, the African-American Civil Rights Movement achieved significant progress in its push for desegregation in the Southern United States. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, in particular, largely dismantled the system of Jim Crow laws that had enforced legal (or de jure) segregation in the South since the end of Reconstruction Era. During this period, Republican politicians such as Presidential candidate Richard Nixon worked to attract southern white conservative voters (most of whom had traditionally supported the Democratic Party) to the Republican Party,[4] and Senator Barry Goldwater won the five formerly Confederate states of the Deep South: (Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina) in the 1964 presidential election. In the 1968 presidential campaign, Nixon won Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee, all former Confederate states, contributing to the electoral realignment that saw many white, southern voters shift allegiance from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party during this period.

That's one man's opinion. Unlike liberals, conservatives think for themselves.That "CON$ don't see groups" bullshit only works on DittoTards. To the Right you are only an "individual" if and only if you conform to CON$ervatism. So ALL who do not conform to CON$ervatism are GROUPED together as LIBERALS.That's dumb. Conservatism insists on treating people as individuals and does not care about skin color. It is modern liberalism that treats people first as members of groups based on physical characteristics such as skin color, and only secondarily as individuals. You should know that.No, the Klan is the terrorist wing of CON$ervatism!Never claimed that "there aren't any republican klan members", but the Klan was indeed the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.
True story.
Truer story!

RUSH: I maintain that moderates and independents are Democrats. Because, by definition, if someone or some organization is not conservative, it's by definition going to be liberal, not moderate, not independent, it's going to be liberal
