So? He was still never a Democrat. What part of that has you sooo baffled?He was vehemently anti-Republican. Which of you will be the heroic J.W. Booth of today?I didn't watch the video.Nope, Booth belonged to the Know Nothing party. That video was compiled by a moron who likely assumed Booth must have been a Democrat since he killed Lincoln and Lincoln was a Republican.He was a "Copperhead," aka a Peace Democrat, pro-slavery zealots. Archenemies of the anti-slavery Republicans.You’re a raving imbecile. Hillary Clinton wasn’t speaking of physical violence when she encouraged folks to “keep fighting,” she was speaking of peacefully protesting.
But I got only as far in that video up to the point where it idiotically blamed a Democrat for assassinating Lincoln. Moron, Booth was not a Democrat.![]()
Like today with Dems and their love of human trafficking, some things never change.
But he was not a Democrat, as that ridiculous video falsely claimed.
John Wilkes Booth was the assassin of President and anti-slavery liberal Abraham Lincoln. He was an angry copperhead aka "peace democrat" (when that meant "pro slavery", of course). Booth was also an actor who sometimes found it difficult to tell the difference between stage drama and real life. At that time the Republicans were far more anti-slavery and liberal than the democrats and many Southern Democrats later became KKK members.
John Wilkes Booth
What kind of moron posts a blurb from a wiki as evidence of anything other than they're an idiot??Repeating the same debunked bullshit doesn't advance your point.He was a "Copperhead," aka a Peace Democrat, pro-slavery zealots. Archenemies of the anti-slavery Republicans.
Like today with Dems and their love of human trafficking, some things never change.
