Senator Strom Thurmond used to be a Democrat. He was a segregationist on the principle of State's Rights but switched to the GOP in that very year of 1964, when Dirksen was spearheading Civil Rights and the Democrats were "filibustering!!!!!!!!!" it.
In 2002, a retirement party was thrown for Thurmond (who became the longest-serving senator in history).
Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott praised his colleague and old friend and endorsed his policies in general.
That was interpreted to mean that Lott was endorsing his old segregationist positions (when he was Democrat), and the left went ballistic.
Lott stepped down from his leadership position in consequence.
Byrd, a former KKK who filbustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, is still an entrenched party elder.
Lott stepped down from his leadership position in consequence.
Yes, that was a fine moment. By all means, keep this stuff up. We love these circular firing squads. If he'd renounced his racist ways, as Byrd did ages ago, he might still be showing off his hairdo in congress.

GOP: 'We were wrong' to play racial politics
By Richard Benedetto, USA TODAY
Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman apologized to one of the nation's largest black civil rights groups Thursday, saying Republicans had not done enough to court blacks in the past and had exploited racial strife to court white voters, particularly in the South.
"It's not healthy for the country for our political parties to be so racially polarized," said Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman.
By Morry Gash, AP
"Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," Mehlman said at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."
Mehlman's apology to the NAACP at the group's convention in Milwaukee marked the first time a top Republican Party leader has denounced the so-called Southern Strategy employed by Richard Nixon and other Republicans to peel away white voters in what was then the heavily Democratic South. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Republicans encouraged disaffected Southern white voters to vote Republican by blaming pro-civil rights Democrats for racial unrest and other racial problems.
GOP admits it...
and then goes back to their same old ways.
Your reading comprehension abilities are abysmal, dolt.
Let me draw you a picture:
Mehlman "admits" he was "wrong" about:
1. Republicans giving up on winning the African-American vote
2. Looking the other way
3. Trying to benefit politically from racial polarization
Giving up and looking the other way is understandable.
Trying to benefit politically from racial polarization is politics, and is the only reason why the racist organization NAACP--and the Democratic Party-- exists.
"National Association for the Advancement of White People."
How does that sound?
Exactly.
btw, Mehlman's speech is just part of a healing process that's exposing all the lies the Left has been spoon-feeding AAs for decades, and bringing AAs back to where they belong: The Party of Lincoln.
Slowly but surely:
In the 2004 presidential election, President George W. Bush received 11% of the black vote, up 2% from the previous elections.
Fool.
The DNC-KKK alliance. Still strong after 140 years!
It's a plantation.
Unintentionally hilarious sez:
"National Association for the Advancement of White People."
How does that sound?
Uh, I donno...like a synonym for GOP?
...like a synonym for the GOP?
Right. It sounds racist, fool.
hahahahaha...migott...how right ewe are, buddy!
Does this poor dizzy moron even know what he's saying?
I gotta spend even less than my allotted 15 minutes a day on this fool. I'm starting to feel sorry for him.
This is why your poetry is garbage. You're illiterate and dense.
You'll never amount to anything short of divine intervention, but that has to be invited.
Lotsa luck to you. Now beat it. You're not welcome here.
You're poisoning this blog by your foul presence.
Go of your own free will.
poetry?
Did you know that 94% of currrent admitted KKK members are Republican?
A few are libertarians.
Others are just bad tempered drunks who don't know there are parties and suchlike.
Many are homosexual.
Most are Protestant.
Oh God.
THAT is funny.
Now the party that INVENTED the KKK now has to be arguing that the party that FREED THE SLAVES (i.e, the GOP, you illiterate morons) is now responsible for the KKK.
Read some history. Absorb what you can, because your whining does not take away from real historical fact.
The KKK was a tool of the democrats. It was. Pull out some history books and look at them. Robert Bird was a good democrat in fine standing, and he was a KKK member. Are so illiterate that you do not know how to read even basic history?
Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the KKK in the south. He was a good Democrat, ass. He loved this country more than even you do, I bet, and even now you do not know what party he was affiliated with.
I cannot agree with the KKK, as I am a Libertarian. I bet you do, good democrats, and just telling other people that you do not personally understand history at all is not going to be a good argument. Good God. Pull out a basic text on history before you display your profound ignorance of the history of this nation.
Better than that, pull your head out of your ass before you talk total nonsense.
How about this?
Most KKK members are now in the north?
Never mind any of that.
How can you not know that the KKK was the strong arm of the Democratic Party in the South and later the North? Do you not realize that the greatest resistance to the KKK has been from republicans in the south? Did you not understand this article that Republicus put out AT ALL?
FACT: "On this day (June 7), in 1964, Everett Dirksen (R-IL), the Republican Leader in the U.S. Senate, condemned the Democrats' 57-day filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act..."
HELLO??
Is their anything out there that resembles intelligence?
"Duh...they really don't get it?
They pretend not to get it.
Keep axin yewsef, honky...why doesn' anyone but wingbats EVER buy into this desperate silliness?"
What the hell silliness is an understanding of real history?
Are you ashamed of the history of the Democratic Party? They were the founding of the KKK. They were the Party that fought against freeing slaves. They were the party that enacted the Jim Crow Laws. What part of this do you not understand?
It is pretty basic if you can read and understand English. What I think is that you know nothing at all about history, and you do not care. You are a mouthpiece and an idiot. You cannot speak about history because you have no knowledge of it.
Keep axin yooself, idiot.
Do you not know what Party was behind the Jim Crow laws?
Didn't start with an "R" to give you a jump start.
Question: Lincoln belonged to what party?
A. Republican
B. Democrat
C. Don't know because I cannot read
"Republicans supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act much more than did the Democrats. It was Senator Dirksen, not President Lyndon Johnson, who was most responsible for defeating the Democrat filibuster against that landmark legislation."
HELLO?
Is there anybody out there? This is not spin, this is just a question of what actually happened. The Republican votes decided that Act. It was opposed. Do you wish to discover what party opposed that Act my the most numbers?
Again:
A. Democrats
B. Republicans
C. I have no idea because I am illiterate

I asked the troll to leave of its own free will, but it came back again and urinated in the Father's Day post.
At that point I decided to axe the blockhead and even set up a guillotine post to celebrate Execution Day, but took it back down.
He's got a Damoclean sword hanging over his head at this point, though.
By all means, James, continue.

B. Howard Taft (R)
c. Woodrow Wilson (D)
James, Jackson's Depression was greater than the one that began when Hoover presided?
P.S. sp. perdition ;)
(I know, it was typo--o and i are right next to each other)
John,
You have had the most honest post at this point that I have ever read. You tolerated more than I ever would have, and you did so at a truly democratic and egalitarian effort.
You cannot help it if those that you asked could not stand up to the demands of simple society and polite necessity. That is not your fault.
I would go a bit further and posit that you sent beyond even the demands of civil discourse. Kudos to you for even trying to educate that swab of scum.
John,
Yes...perdition...sorry.
Jackson's travail's were bad, and he had an economic depression founded on many things. One of those things was the fact that the country had gone into debt and had not yet found a way to get out of it. One of his solutions is something that we no longer have the ability to do, and that is to sell "public lands." In our current economic crisis, I think the solution is easier than McCain wants to admit.
Drill for oil here, in this country, do it now, and look for alternative fuels in the meantime.
It's a microcosm. How do you deal with subhumans like that in society?
I have the power of obliterating it out of existence, as it would me if it had the same power, without a second thought (if only because there was no first one).
But I'm not it.
Jackson messed with the National Bank, and silver, too, no?
James: Thank you. I hope I represented conservative principles half as well as he embodies liberal ones.
Easy.
We vote them out of power. We ridicule them when necessary, but it is better to evangelize than to ridicule.
More than that, we need to realize that the blogging dolts that tried to take over here at your site were nothing more than bored teens and older idiots that MAY HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING. They just may have.
In real life we spend our money and we campaign against communist ideals. I owe that, at least, to my own children.
John,
I think you represent the best of what this country means even if I do not agree with you on every tiddling point.
If we agreed on everything we would be as boring as gravy on bread. That is not what this country was made of.
What you are not is a damned idiot, and there have been quite a few of them here lately. You are an intelligent, conservative man that I respect greatly and would commend to anyone that wanted to ask about conservative thought. More, I suspect that you are much more than even that.
The KKK was a tool of the democrats. It was. Pull out some history books and look at them. Robert Bird was a good democrat in fine standing, and he was a KKK member. Are so illiterate that you do not know how to read even basic history?
doesn't know what the meaning of was is
actually I was a history major...just one reason I find you so hilarious...simple lil guy
Well, simple you are, and no doubt about that.
Still cannot come to grips with real history eh? That is not my fault.
Ok idiot. WHO FREED THE SLAVES?
You remember that one right?
WHO OPPOSED THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT?
Bet you can dig that one up if you try.
Try again if you want to look intelligent at all...
We vote them out of power. We ridicule them when necessary, but it is better to evangelize than to ridicule.
wow...how does he get his head THAT far up his ass?
Was he born that way.
Personally I prefer ridicule when dealing mitt der undtermenschen.
Nothing works so why not haff a liddle fun?
John, sorry I haven't been around to follow this very well.
Kudos to you for being more than fair with the sniveling little trolls. I know I wouldn't have tolerated them half as much as you.
I rather enjoyed catching up on the comments from you and from James.
I am sorry that you have had to deal with this infestation and sorry that I didn't spend more time swatting at them.

Is this embarrassing...or just funny?
Where is it going?
Not a toilet stall, I hope.
In your case your brain is not working at all, so please feel free to display more ignorance.
You think that we are all just waiting around for your brilliance, and all you can do is blather stupidity. Of COURSE you think think that people that disagree are not humans.
That is the way of fascists and communists alike. I disagree, so automatically I am less than human.
Good job there Unca Joseph. Bring on some more communist manifesto.
In your case your brain is not working at all, so please feel free to display more ignorance.
See...that sounds so trite, so stale, so juvenile, so puerile, so done soo many times, so jejeune, so stupid, so je ne sais quois...
I am sorry that you have had to deal with this infestation and sorry that I didn't spend more time swatting at them.
ooh, me tooo...you can't have too many ineffectual spazmoz fanning the air these hot summer nights
...oh my, his retard ancestors again...and their fucking tree houses...please, no more
At least you have had the courage to at least finally display your Nazi love-life. You think there are humans that are not worthy of life.
yas, for it is I who have at last revealed my troooo nature and it is only I hoo have been hurt by this and hoo have revealed ...blah blah blah
I betcha this John. I bet you that there is not one of them that has the courage to talk under a single name for more than one entry.
The MySpace kiddoes cannot argue their way out of a paper bag, and what they will do is continue to spout Nazi propaganda and talk like they are more than one idiot in his grandmother's basement. If there is more than one I will have a hard time believing it.
Hey autobox
Pretty nice at least knowing who my father is. How is it for you, not knowing that?
Happy X-Day
my daddy could have whipped your daddy...or hitched him to a plow
lemme see...boy, that took courage

Poll: SHALL WE REVISE THE SUPREME COURT LIFETIME APPIONTMENT?
I have an idea, which will return Sanctity to the Supreme Court (SC) through a Constitutional amendment. As it now stands changes in government administration leaves the appointments on the SC to blind luck of the draw-a shoot of the dice, whomever happens to be in Office when justices die or need to retire. Therefore, I suggest a tenure system of 9 years which staggers the nomination to the court so that all members are staggered on a different time table/schedule for appointment, initially for 3 years, with a renewable tenure at the discretion of the president who nominated a justice, for 3 more years, with a second renewal possible for 3 years.

you are just a total fool
when in bedlam...
Bet you still cannot answer the questions I put up earlier.
Actually, I know the answer to that already.
To intelligent people, like John: Goodnight!
To whatever you call yourself this 2 minutes:
who cares what you think?
I know the answers but you don't know the meaning...
"I know the answers but you don't know the meaning..."
Speak for yourself:
"...so je ne sais quois."
Thank you. If you really knew the meaning, you'd know that's used as a compliment, imbe'cile.
No worries, Kelly.
Le moron ne connaissez pas le contexte!
maroons caint barely talk l'anglaise...like zhorzhe...
heard about his memoirs?
He's calling them Cheney's Pet Goat.
Pretentious buffoon. You're about as Gallic as a McDonald's french fry.
...or John Kerry, for that matter.
hohoho...
we had to win your little revolution for you...
vive le compte de grasse
Cheney's Pet Goat ...hahahahha...good one!
How about pet sheep?
...or Memoirs of a Chimp in the Whorehouse.
Hardly Proustian, though...shouldn't be uttered in teh same breath.
Man asks McCain, "How can I be proud of my country?"
"I’ll admit to you that it’s tough, it’s tough in some respects," McCain said, seeming to lend credence to Michelle Obama's observation.
McCain said America needed to be "more humble, more inclusive." So, will the FOX Propaganada Network mercilessly attack McCain, as it did Michelle Obama? 6/15
Mac's a STRAIGHT TALKER
Mz. Obammy...she an uppitty ho'.
See the dif?
Yes she is!
This one's a female.
"...shouldn't be uttered in teh..."
I'm sure I've seen that dyslexic hiccup before...

It's not a dyslexic hiccup, silly. Because of the widespread inversion of the letters of the, many posters and some bloggers simply do not bother to correct it. Some even use teh deliberately, just as some do not bother to capitalize the personal pronoun I. For someone who has to delete his own comments for grammatical and spelling errors and who also makes numerous mistakes to accuse the poster of dyslexia is really a sign of desperation and (or adn, as it is sometimes presented)shows that he has no refutation ot the arguments presented.
Hi Dora.
Latest Poll: Obama begins the general election in Ohio with a double digit lead over John McCain, 50% to 39%.
