On Friday we were all fascinated by the tale of a Tea Party-sponsored minority outreach panel at CPAC gone horribly wrong. The head of a group we had never heard of, the Frederick Douglass Republicans, led the panel and had a very nice discussion with a young man who is in no way racist just because he
So Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat or was he the first Republican President and before that a Northern Whig? Amazing enough someone took down the did-you-know page with the correct info. http://frederickdouglassrep... Did I miss that it was the Democratic Party members who founded the KKK and made it the 3rd Arm of the Party and wrote the Jim Crow Laws? Did I also miss that over 90% of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and made it a supermajority in which LBJ was FORCED to sign it into law. This article is full of half truths and the Democratic Party will never erase their past by keeping people in welfare for a vote.
Right on. The Democratic Party half-truths are apparent to cover the Democratic Party that they were the Party of slavery. Being that Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican President and before that a Northern Whig puts a damper in the liberal false narrative of the Democratic Party. Being that they are the Party of keeping people in welfare for a vote in the 70s will never erase their slavery history.
"The Three-Fifths Clause dealt only with representation and not the worth of any individual."
<i> Headdesk </i>
It was about represenation all right -- but not representation of black folks. The Three-Fifths Clause was created by white Southerners, in order to give the whites in the South representation in Congress entirely out of proportion to their actual numbers.

it is this sort of judgmental assessment that keeps me forever returning to wonkette.
&quot;all came from the Democratic Party.&quot;
This is mostly true. However, as the Democratic party in the north became more &quot;liberal&quot; (for a given value of liberal) the &quot;democrats&quot; in the south became more disenfranchised. That is, until, southern christian values started seeping into the political scene like a backed up sewer pipe. Then, hey presto! The &quot;Party of Lincoln&quot; is now controlled by the fuckheads who thought the south should rise and it&#039;s best for the nation to keep Darky Down.
<i>Wow, Democrats sure were dicks, back in the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries</i>
I guess they missed the part in history where the Republicans were once the home to the &quot;liberals&quot; that now populate the Democratic party. Teddy Roosevelt siphoned off the progressive branch into his Bull Moose party and they never went back.
Much like the way the modern Repiggie party became the safeharbor for the Dixiecrat bigots who hated the influx of progressive ideas into their &quot;conservative&quot; ideology.

I would definitely call my doctor. In the hope that she might do something about it.
I think the best permutation is &quot;fucking dipshits&quot;. Just my humble opinion.

I&#039;ll be wearing the outlines of my Y, U. H and J keys for days.
... but in the role of the Democrats.
Definitely putting the mental in fundamentalist.
&quot;If you stay risen for more than four hours, see your doctor.&quot;
Coming up for the ladies, will it be the &quot;Margaret Sanger Republicans&quot; or the &quot;Gloria Steinem Republicans&quot;?
No, no, the Germans were our allies. The Russians bombed Pearl Harbor.
Wait ... Republicans are <i>great</i> at humor. I&#039;ve been laughing my ass off all weekend,
