MSNBC rewrites history

[Redneck_Buddha]

Hard to believe that this loathsome, renegade, out-of-control mouthpiece for the Demonrat party is taken seriously by ANYONE! I urge everyone to boycott ANYTHING affiliated with the NBC network.

In this clip, they attempt to frame the racist politician from the 60s and 70s, George Wallace as a Republican.

Sorry, can't seem to get the YouTube-ish widget to work, but it is the correct link.

Thanks C-dub. Also remember that the Democrats led the fight against the Civil Rights act of 1964, and that Robert "Sheets" Byrd was a former Grand Dragon in the KKK.

[baldeagle]

The Democrats fought EVERY Republican civil rights measure beginning in 1866 and continuing on through multiple civil rights bills (1871, 1875, 1957 and 1960, two Constitutional Amendments (the 13th and 14th) and massive protesting. Once they realized they would lose the fight, they immediately began taking credit for everything having to do with the civil rights movement. And most people today believe that the Republicans were the racists. George Wallace and Orville Faubus, the only two governors to openly defy the federal government on integration, were both Democrats. Sheriff Bull O'Connor and all the other racist Sheriffs on the south were all Democrats. Martin Luther King's assassin was a Democrat. Medgar Evers assassin was a Democrat. The Ku Klux Klan was founded by Democrats. Gun control laws were instituted by Democrats in the south to keep blacks from defending themselves against lynchings and murders. Jim Crow laws were passed by Democrats to keep blacks from voting.

The first black Congressmen and Senators from the south were Republicans. No black Democrat was elected until after the Civil Rights Act of 1965 was passed and Democrats began taking credit for "freeing" the blacks.

Two things turned the tide for the Democrats. Attorney General Robert Kennedy's reluctant usurpation of state's rights to pursue the murders of three American civil rights' workers, James Earl Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael "Mickey" Schwerner, who were lynched on the night of June 21–22, 1964 in Philadelphia, MS and then buried in a construction site (portrayed in the movie Mississippi Burning) and Lyndon Johnson's reluctant acceptance of the 1965 Civil Rights bill when he realized they were going to lose. Leveraging those two events, Democrats reshaped their message to claim the mantle of civil rights leaders and gained the obeisance of black leadership by using the carrot of social programs to "help" the blacks. (Of course those programs ended up destroying the black family and enslaving many black Americans to the federal government. One might cynically surmise that the purpose of those programs was to do just that.)

People who do not learn their history will be continually misled by those who know it and lie about it, like MSNBC. And millions of fools will now believe that George Wallace was a Republican, reinforcing the image that Republicans are the racists. And what do the Republicans do to combat these vicious lies? Nothing.

Edited to correct the record. It was Robert Kennedy, not JFK, who involved the feds in the murder investigation. Thanks to PawPaw for catching my error.

I keep forgetting that, thanks!

Baldeagle...spot on man! Put your post in the category "wish I had said that"!

Well said. Seemingly, the Republicans are like the kid who always turns the other cheek and NEVER fights back.

I sent this to MSNBC:

On All In with Chris Hayes you falsely identified former Governor George Wallace as a Republican. Here is the proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 9S2KjrnGag" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

None of the Southern Governors during that time of racism were Republicans, and you should know that. Every racist group in the south was Democrat to the core.

You should correct this blatant lie, but I doubt seriously you have enough courage to do so.

[puma guy]

I'd worry if it was anyone but MSNBC. That means 13 people saw when it was broadcast. 12 people + Rachel Maddow

It's truly a sign of the times that Americans learned about PRISM from the British press.

I also agree that is very well said. Baldeagle, may I share those great words?
