    I'm sure Clinton said stuff just as bad to his segregationist mentor, William Fulbright. I wouldn't vote for Reagan today because of that.

    You really didn't answer my question. Jefferson wasn't a shitty person, he was one of the geniuses that helped create the greatest country the world has ever seen. Slavery then was common law brought to these shores by the Eurotrash you folks are always looking to...

    I think most KKK vote conservatives these days, so within that context the remarks of Reagan and Nixon are interesting.

    The Klan consists of Christian conservative white males. Let's not play around with the party label just because you feel like it. Most of those conservative white males now align themselves with the republican party and note, most southern states are all red! They are proud to fly that traiterous Union Jack, so excuse me if I don't buy into your "dem party are the party of the Klan" BS nonsense.

    By the way, the Klan are anti Muslims too.

    I'm talking your Klan days, after we took your slaves away. I have no problem with any of the Founders', that a different matter altogether...

    The Klan was created by Democrats, for Democrats, and supported by, wait for it, DEMOCRATS. All the rest of your whining is nothing but a weak attempt to avoid those indisputable FACTS...

    Is it illegal to join the Klan? Shouldn’t you defend it like you do slavery?

    Your effort to discredit Reagan won't succeed.

    Are you going to start telling us Lincoln beat his wife?

    They were created by CONSERVATIVE WHITE MALES. Indisputable fact no matter how you want to spin it.

    If they have him on tape doing it, I'm likely to.... although it probably wouldn't qualify as a Current Event...

    I do understand Mary Lincoln was a handful however....

    Here's an interesting one from LBJ:

    Biographer Caro also notes that Johnson is said to have replied as follows to a black chauffeur who told him he’d prefer to be called by name instead of “boy,” “******” or “chief”:

    "As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your ******n name. So no matter what you are called, ******, you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a ******n piece of furniture."

    What teaching of Jesus are they following, The Golden Rule maybe?

    David Duke loves Rep. Omar.

    The Democrats have been the party of rebellion and anarchy since the Civil War, see the '68 Chicago protesters in Grant Park and Antifa today.

    You mistakenly think I would support LBJ. I clearly said I would not be voting for him if he was alive.

    I never said who you would support, but as long as we're bringing out decades-old race comments......

    This doesn't sound like a racist:

    "One, from his memoir and which is well attested to by others how when he was growing up, for example, he was on the Eureka College football team. And Reagan biographer Lou Cannon recalls, an Elmhurst, Illinois hotel refused lodging to two of his black teammates. And so the future president said, well, why don't they just come to my house? And apparently didn't think twice about it. So there's that image of Ronald Reagan."

    I doubt LBJ would do that in his youth.

    Go ask those nitwit Klansmen who claim they were following the teaching of Jesus.

    As for Duke, he loves Trump too.

    Say the people who keep bringing up LBJ, outside of this thread.

    Umm....maybe I'm not up on current events as I'd like to be, but hasn't Reagan dead for like 15 years?

    This is such a worthless point. We both know that he continues to be revered as a hero of conservatism.

    Seriously, that comment was so bad it wasn’t even entertaining.
