Why Do Republicans Feel Compelled To Say "We're The Party of Lincoln?"

No, he would not. I do believe that if Malcolm X was here today he'd be about the issues of today, not 1963 when he made the comments those like you keep repeating.

Nope
It Was 1965
After The Civil Rights Act
And Just Days Before He Was Murdered

His Quotes Are Very Topical Today
As Libs Have Perfected The Art Of Deceit
Haven't They ??

Now Say, "No"...

Wrong answer maggot.

When blacks gave 80 percent of their vote to the Democratic Party in 1964, black activist Malcolm X called them "political chumps."

This is a quote from one of your favorite black sellouts Larry Elders.

So like I said...….

And yet, Republicans are 90% white and voted more than 90% AGAINST Obama.

Racists. Obviously.

So if you voted against Obama's far left agenda...an agenda put forth by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi...both very white...that makes you a racist?

Obviously! (eye roll)

 

[Oldstyle]

Can you be honest about Democratic policies ACTIVELY suppressing the black community for the past 50 years, Marc? Malcolm X grasped what was going on WAY back then! You're still clueless yet you use HIM as your avatar? Like I said...he'd be shaking his head at your naivete!

Why are Republicans ACTIVELY suppressing the black vote Oldstyle? Are you going to answer, or continue running away from this truth like a bitch in heat?

Bitch's in heat run away? Don't quite follow your metaphor, Marc...

Actively suppressing the black vote? Oh, you mean requiring people to have valid ID before they can vote? I don't know, Marc...we on the right have this THING about obeying the law!

So did you want to address Democrats ACTIVELY suppressing the black community for the past 50 years while they pretended to care about them? Malcolm X grasped what they were doing WAAAAAAAAAY back then! You on the other hand are still buying into the myth that the liberal elite really cares about the black community other than as a voting block they can use to gain or keep power!

Well, If Barry Had Only Been White
He Would Have Won Unanimously
By Every Vote Cast

Which Is What Their
"Only Because Racist, Racist, Racist" Line Insinuates

In The End
Republicans And The Courts
Let Him Slide With Anything He Wanted

What is it, exactly, are they trying to say, or communicate when they spout that line?

I'd love to have the self-professed Republicans, Conservatives and other assorted Rightwingers of USMB weigh in on this.

Proceed...

Conservatives, having dangerously defective brains, don't see things in rational, reasonable terms. At least not on most things. Lincoln is a problem for conservatives.

On the one hand, when they speak of civil rights and the ending of slavery,(which they want to take credit for while giving NONE to democrats) they applaud and HAIL Lincoln as the GREAT REPUBLICAN EMANCIPATOR PRESIDENT who ended slavery. But, when they talk about the civil war, they call Lincoln the EVIL NORTHERN YANKEE TYRANT. Apparently, though they profess their deep patriotism and deny it in others, they would dump the USA and move to the confederacy in a heartbeat. (begging the question: if conservatives were confederates would they have a law DEMANDING the burning of the US flag?)

So they OPPOSED LINCOLN but want credit for his accomplishments. (and still have the right to say that slavery wasn't such a bad idea)

Interestingly enough I saw an example of this on this board just last week. What dirt bags. That's why they vote for trump. They ARE trump.

Can't wait for their deranged responses.

No, actively suppressing the black vote. The courts determined that. The republican party of today is the party of racists. Malcolm X would certainly not stand for that.

Oh, please...when you take cases to "courts" that you know lean far to the left and they give you the political result that you wanted...that doesn't mean ANYTHING other than our "courts" have become political. Get back to me when the Supreme Court determines that the GOP is suppressing the black vote! Until then your claim that they are is based upon a group of liberal judges SAYING that's the case and that counts for very little.

Malcolm X saw the way that Democrats were going to USE the black vote way back in the 1960's! If he hadn't been killed by people who were complicit in that he would have been a voice raised loudly to point out that Democrats talk a good game but seldom follow through on their promises.

You don't know what X saw. Most republicans were in the north during the 60's. Today they are called the NE liberal elite by republicans like you. Or those hated New York liberals. And they are democrats. So just stop trying with me chump because I know what time it is. Todays republican party wants to take us back to segregation. And X damn sure would have seen that.

Just like a punk ass republican. If something doesn't go your way it's because something is too far left, not that what republicans propose is fucked up and stupid. I don't think the North Carolina, Texas, or Kansas courts are too far left nor are the judges groups of liberals. So we'll go with what those courts have ruled.

What party did Robert Byrd belong too again?

Here's the thing that far rightwingers like you can't seem to get through your thick skulls...

Byrd admitted what he did wrong, recanted and apologized for it profusely.

You damn rightwingers don't do any of that...instead, you double down.

So....spare me your BS.

Sure, he wanted to win the election. Why else? The Clinton's and Obama's also opposed gay marriage.

Oh, bullshit! Malcolm X would have seen how the Democrats use identity politics to make blacks THINK the GOP wants to take them back to segregation and would have asked "What have you so called liberal Democrats actually done for the black community? Are we better off because of your policies? Are our neighborhoods safer? Are our kids getting better schooling?" Those are the kinds of questions that Malcolm was asking back in the 60's when this all started, IM2 and things have gotten worse for urban blacks...not better.

Will you still "go" with what those courts have ruled when Trump appoints more conservative judges to those courts? Or will you then scream bloody murder about how far right they are?

Roy Moore, conservative, christian, republican, was an alabama judge who stated he would like to criminalize gays and have them all rounded up.

Would YOU vote for roy moore?

No...but then again...I'm from Massachusetts, an agnostic who has zero problem with same sex marriage! Here's the thing that I'm always amused by, Any...folks on the left are always complaining about how far right appointees are by Republicans to things like the Supreme Court but when you look at it objectively? The judges that have been moderate voices in the Court have been appointed by Republicans. The judges that are appointed by Democrats on the other hand are on the far left of the judicial spectrum and stay there. So who is really appointing "fair and balanced" people to the courts?

Conservatives, having dangerously defective brains, don't see things in rational, reasonable terms. At least not on most things. Lincoln is a problem for conservatives.

But, when they talk about the civil war, they call Lincoln the EVIL NORTHERN YANKEE TYRANT.

Powerful post man.

A little while back I started a thread called Do You Believe In Civil Rights?

Observe what the self-professed Republicans/conservatives/other assorted rightwingers had to say on the subject, they don't care for civil rights.

Yet, Lincoln is the poster boy, well, poster WHITE BOY, for civil rights.

You nailed it, they're saying at least two totally OPPOSITE things.

Which is another reason I posted this thread, and that one almost two years ago now.

Riiiight, right, the "law and orduh!" partay, right?

So, when it comes out that many Republicans in the Trump Administration has broken the law, you'll be agreeing that the book should be thrown at them, yes?

You honestly beleive that you speak better for what Malcolm X stood for and would stand for today than black American descendants of slaves Oldstyle ???

If that's the case, then you REALLY suffer from the I'm-white-and-I-say-so syndrome.
