But John Abarr, a 41-year-old night auditor at a Great Falls hotel who lost a local Republican legislative primary in 2002, could have a hard time getting any backing from Montana Republicans. His platform promises to legalize marijuana, increase mental health programs, keep abortion legal, abolish the death penalty because he argues it is unfair to poor people — and "save the White Race."
Yet another liberal posing as a "racist Republican". Yawn.

  • Democrats supported and passed the Kansas Nebraska Act to expand slavery.

  • Democrats fought against anti-lynching laws.
  • Democrat Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, is well known for having been a “Kleagle” in the Ku Klux Klan.
  • Democrat Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, personally filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for 14 straight hours to keep it from passage.
  • Democrats passed the Repeal Act of 1894 that overturned civil right laws enacted by Republicans.
  • Democrats declared that they would rather vote for a “yellow dog” than vote for a Republican, because the Republican Party was known as the party for blacks.
  • Democrat President Woodrow Wilson, reintroduced segregation throughout the federal government immediately upon taking office in 1913.
  • Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first appointment to the Supreme Court was a life member of the Ku Klux Klan, Sen. Hugo Black, Democrat of Alabama.
  • Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s choice for vice president in 1944 was Harry Truman, who had joined the Ku Klux Klan in Kansas City in 1922.
  • Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt resisted Republican efforts to pass a federal law against lynching.
  • Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt opposed integration of the armed forces.
  • Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr. and Robert Byrd were the chief opponents of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
  • Democrats supported and backed Judge John Ferguson in the case of Plessy v Ferguson.
  • Democrats supported the School Board of Topeka Kansas in the case of Brown v The Board of Education of Topeka Kansas.
  • Democrat public safety commissioner Eugene “Bull” Connor, in Birmingham, Ala., unleashed vicious dogs and turned fire hoses on black civil rights demonstrators.
  • Democrats were who Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the other protesters were fighting.
  • Democrat Georgia Governor Lester Maddox “brandished an ax hammer to prevent blacks from patronizing his restaurant.
  • Democrat Governor George Wallace stood in front of the Alabama schoolhouse in 1963, declaring there would be segregation forever.
  • Democrat Arkansas Governor Faubus tried to prevent desegregation of Little Rock public schools.
  • Democrat Senator John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil rights Act.
  • Democrat President John F. Kennedy opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King.
  • Democrat President John F. Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI.
  • Democrat President Bill Clinton’s mentor was U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright, an Arkansas Democrat and a supporter of racial segregation.
  • Democrat President Bill Clinton interned for J. William Fulbright in 1966-67.
  • Democrat Senator J. William Fulbright signed the Southern Manifesto opposing the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision.
  • Democrat Senator J. William Fulbright joined with the Dixiecrats in filibustering the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964.
  • Democrat Senator J. William Fulbright voted against the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
  • Southern Democrats opposed desegregation and integration.
all true until the late 60's when the republicans for some reason decided to pursue the southern strategy, which gained them the rep of being the racist party and lost them the 90 percent black vote they had.

40 years later and they are still trying to fix it.

the democratic party no doubt was a racist party, but its inclusion and promotion of non whites into positions of power and blacks alienation from the republican party is why blacks switched to the dems.

i also find it odd and amusing that some admitted republicans on this forum have stated that segregation isnt really a bad thing, and that integrating leads to problems.
wouldnt you be for that as republicans, since democrats were the racist party?

That's okay.

As bill clinton said about democratic US Senator robert byrd, who was a grand knight of the kkk at one time...."It was a youthful indiscretion".

Nothing to fear.

Depends.

I'm not so sure that I could turn away the 'secret' payoff that someone like Soros was willing to pay me to do it!

When a clown already knows that he can't win, he can at least be a Rich clown by doing the masters bidding!

And since most politicians are already 'Loathed' by 90% of the population .. It Ain't that big of a stretch .. now is it!?

No wonder President Obama is blowing your party away despite your efforts to discredit him.
What are you smoking?

I want some of it .. Please?

Obama is set to get his clock cleaned. In case you haven't noticed the economy is sliding down the tubes.
The exact quote would be: "A Clean and Articulate Negro".

He is a Republican because the black man is a Democrat . If Republicans won with a black he would run as a Democrat . He sort of said it as he plans to get votes because of Obama .
I think .
Blacks killed more blacks in America than the KKK ever did times hundreds , I don't know why people even care what they do .
