$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('asg70', 'S')o quickly we forget radical right-winger shooters like Dylan Roof.

I mean, according to Plantagenet we should just ban the democratic party and proclaim Trump emperor and be done with it.
Right wing? Dylan Roof is a Democrat, and lest you forget, Gov. George Wallace, the very symbol of Segregation, was a Democrat. Robert Byrd, Senate Majority Leader for decades, was a KKK member with the high rank of Wizard. The Democratic Party has long been and remains the haven of intolerence and terror.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hen he was running for president in 2000, Vice President Al Gore told the NAACP that his father, Senator Al Gore Sr., had lost his Senate seat because he voted for the Civil Rights Act. Uplifting story — except it’s false. Gore Sr. voted against the Civil Rights Act. He lost in 1970 in a race that focused on prayer in public schools, the Vietnam War, and the Supreme Court.
Al Gore’s reframing of the relevant history is the story of the Democratic party in microcosm. The party’s history is pockmarked with racism and terror. The Democrats were the party of slavery, black codes, Jim Crow, and that miserable terrorist excrescence, the Ku Klux Klan. Republicans were the party of Lincoln, Reconstruction, anti-lynching laws, and the civil rights acts of 1875, 1957, 1960, and 1964. Were all Republicans models of rectitude on racial matters? Hardly. Were they a heck of a lot better than the Democrats? Without question.
It seems that unable to accept their very real record of hatred and bigotry, the Democrats prefer to rewrite and deny the actual history.
