A history of racism....unrevised

[wjk]

For those who are interested, tonight's Mark Levin show was a history of the democratic party's racist past over the last century and beyond. Basically, he destroys the argument by the left that the republicans have been the party of racism with FACTS. For those who wish to listen, his archives are free, and can be listened to via his audio rewind link. Click on tonight's episode (24 June, 2015)...especially if you are sick of Hillary's bullshit about the "hard truth". The hard truth implicates the democratic party for damn near a century (actually, much longer).

He's discussing this live now (8:20CST as I post) at http://www.marklevinshow.com/# Click listen live.

Or you can catch his free webcast at his site by clicking audio rewind, and clicking today's date: 6/24/15.

It was a very fascinating show. If you want to see just how deceitful the left is regarding racism, this is a MUST LISTEN TO show.

Yes, Democrats were in power in South Carolina in 1962 when the Confederate flag was placed atop the Capitol. In fact, in many elections in the state that year, including the gubernatorial election, Democrats ran completely unopposed by Republicans.

Rush Limbaugh is correct about that. But what he left out is that many of 1962’s Democrats in the South were ideologically conservative and eventually became Republicans -- making the Confederate flag a Republican issue.

Partisanship in the South has a unique history, particularly since the 1960s. Republicans and Democrats have almost completely switched places in the former Confederate states. Here are a few of the many Republicans who were Democrats in the not-too-distant past:

Rick Perry, former Republican governor of Texas and current presidential candidate, was a Democrat until 1989, held office in the Texas legislature as a Democrat and even supported Democrat Al Gore’s presidential run in 1988.

Strom Thurmond, a senator from South Carolina known for opposing integrationand being extremely conservative, was originally the Democratic senator from the state before changing his partisanship in 1964.

Another former Texas governor, John Connally, was a Democrat while serving as governor, but became a Republican in 1973.

Elizabeth Dole became a Republican in 1975. She served in the Johnson, Nixon, Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, then served one term as a senator from North Carolina from 2003-2009.

The list goes on.
