The Southern GOP became the Anti-Minority RW right around the time of the 1964 Election. After 1964, the Southern GOP was the Big Tent (that the KKK felt "at home" in).
David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) is a prominent American white supremacist, white nationalist politician, white separatist, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier, convicted felon, and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. A former Republican Louisiana State Representative, Duke was a candidate in the Democratic presidential primaries in 1988 and the Republican presidential primaries in 1992. Duke also ran unsuccessfully for the Louisiana State Senate, United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and for Governor of Louisiana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke Duke was slow on the uptake, but eventually knew he had to join the R party. Even was an elected to office as a R.
Exactly. Even Strom Thurmond (the Dixiecrat (Segregationist Southern Democrat) Pres. Nominee in 1948.) switched parties to the GOP in 1964. It is rather sad to see that some on the RW actually need a political history lesson.
. I don't know, authentication of dangerous videos is not an area I've studied extensively and hopefully never will. How does Reuters or AP do it? Testimony of several credible eyewitnesses comes to mind but I can see difficulties even there. I've been in crowds that turned ugly and, maybe it's just me, but there is a special kind of terror that engenders even if they're not after you specifically. You don't think of anything but to get as far away as you can as quickly as is possible. Taking pictures of the scene was the furthest thing from my mind.
Because that isn't your job. He's a journalist... Being in the middle of the action is part of the job.
"No one is defending anything..." OK, so people are reveling in it. They're gleefully cheering it. Celebrating it. Not defending it. You're right.
CNN was literally the first network to do an on air interview with him when he was released from the hospital.
The CNN interview was on July 2nd. Sky TV reported on the incident on June 29th. RT was sending out the GoFund me information on July 1st. Please don't sit here and AOC us into believing inaccurate events!
I hate to say this because I still assert that Trump's a god-cursed Nazi and always will but we have to be fair here. There IS a credible body that says these statues that were the crux in Charlottesvillle were of "historical" significance, the "Heritage Not Hate" argument, they're "tradition" and Trump is, if anything, a traditionalist. That being said he went out of his way to go back and REPEAT his offense the next day When Reagan was told he might have the support of Neo-Nazis his response was clear. "We don't want your money and we don't want your votes, there's the door..." That was the general position of the legitimate Republicans until Trump decided to put some ambiguity back into the matter. Maybe he was just too shockingly stupid to realize what he was doing,....maybe....
And he was arrested and will likely spend the rest of his life in jail. Meanwhile the Klantifa thugs get a pass from the Portland mayor, the Portland police, and continuous excuses and pardons from dimwitted leftists everywhere.
Nazi's vote for both parties and ANTIFA is almost 100% progressive liberals who vote for Bernie/Hillary. How is it anyone who runs for President's fault who votes for who? Reminder, the KKK had a Democrat serving them in gov't for a long time. Trump could have handled Charlottesville better but it was still some deranged supremacist running his car into other deranged snowflakes. Like any of these idiots are a huge part of the moderate American base?
Like most leftists your knowledge of history is spotty. It was the Democrats who were beating up Black men, and hanging them, passing Jim Crow Laws, etc. It was the Republicans who fought against this, then as now. We can see Democrat/Leftists attitudes in the treatment of this young Asian Gay man. Given the opportunity they may have lynched him also.
That's just false. Leftists remain historically clueless. Check back to the 1930's and 40's and you can see when the migration to Democrats began, also coinciding with social programs.
And if I was to say what I think about your post, my post would be deleted immediately. Yet, all of these posts, celebrating the Antifa-terrorists and violence against the free press, remain.
LOL, the southern GOP was a minorty. The southern racist democrats never changed parties. Let me know why the southern racists would suddenly embrace the party that fought for civil rights throughout history?
Do you disagree with my post? I think some Conceal and Carry guy will one day expose himself to Klantifa by wearing a MAGA hat perhaps, wait for them to attack, and then open up. Would he be charged?
So what, why do I care if some dill hole shuts down about her dill hole? And the guys being shut down are people that are trying to make racist ideals strong in America again, I see no reason to care.
