:zzz:
You ARE AWARE that the KKK was started Democrats, aren't you? (Not by the DEM. PARTY...but, by white southern Demos.) (The KKK did provide muscle for the Demo machine down south though [see below]) And you are aware these "people" went after GOPs as well as blacks, right? Soooo...just when did the GOP and the KKK 'kiss and make up'?
"Carole Emberton, an associate professor of history at the University at Buffalo, wrote in an email that various "Klans" that sprung up around the South acted as a "strong arm" for many local Democratic politicians during Reconstruction. Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest -- believed to be the KKK’s first Grand Dragon -- even spoke at the 1868 Democratic National Convention, said Emberton, author of "Beyond Redemption: Race, Violence and the American South after the Civil War.""
And yet you and your ilk STILL insist on implying/declaring the GOP is somehow tied to the KKK every chance you get??? Really? 'Way to SPIN reality, Jim.
