Billy McKinney: Former Democrat State Representative Billy McKinney of Georgia, who is also the father of former Democrat congresswoman Cynthia McKinney of the same state. During his daughter's failed 2002 reelection bid, McKinney appeared on television where he blamed his daughter's difficulties on a Jewish conspiracy. McKinney unleashed a string of anti-semitic sentiments, stating "This is all about the Jews" and spelling out "J-E-W-S." McKinney lost his own seat in a runoff a few weeks later. The Democrat Party and the Ku Klux Klan: Aside from the multiple Klan members who have served in elected capacity within the high ranks of the Democrat Party, the political party itself has a lengthy but often overlooked history of involvement with the Ku Klux Klan. Though it has been all but forgotten by the media, the Democrat National Convention of 1924 was host to one of the largest Klan gatherings in American history. Dubbed the "Klanbake convention" at the time, the 1924 Democrat National Convention in New York was dominated by a platform dispute surrounding the Ku Klux Klan. A minority of the delegates to the convention attempted to condemn the hate group in the party's platform, but found their proposal shot down by Klan supporters within the party. As delegates inside the convention voted in the Klan's favor, the Klan itself mobilized a celebratory rally outside. On July 4, 1924 one of the largest Klan gatherings ever occurred outside the convention on a field in nearby New Jersey. The event was marked by speakers spewing racial hatred, celebrations of their platform victory in the Democrat Convention, and ended in a cross burning.
For all you Liberals out there who use the race card as a political weapon, and claim that its only the right wing nut jobs doing this, I have page, after page, after page of this, and this is not even getting into more modern ones. So drop the bullshit already, and realise that there is racist nutjobs on both sides of the aisle.
Wow, I guess there's no other way to interpret this than to declare this debate a victory for the right wingers.
I guess there is no other way to interpret someone claiming a victory in a message board debate who is involved in the debate having taken a side...that the person claiming victory for his side is a "keen" jackass message board masturbator. <img src=http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/22960/photos/PHOTO_13220114_22960_8189025_ap_320X240.jpg>
Labels are easily affixed and removed, but I don't think anyone really doubts what kind of person supports slavery. And that type hasn't changed, though it wears a new label.
No, I didn't take any side. I'm just an independent observer. I mean, you wouldn't really deny that the lefties got royally pounded here would you? In any case, the notion that the righties won clearly sends you into angry tantrums which cause you to stoops to low, classless, uncouth behavior such as personal attacks and name calling. I'm sorry that coping with something as relatively minor as that causes you to behave in such poor taste. I'd hate to see how you act in the face of real adversity. Is that a news paper article about you? Did you have some legal problems associated with that?
No one supports slavery in it's classic form anymore. Except maybe in many parts of Africa, the only place where slavery is still openly practiced today. In any case, this point is invalid. Republicans do not support slavery, Dems do not support slavery. Yes, I know most of these KKK guys are dems, but they don't support slavery either.
