...and More Proof the Democrats are the TRUE Party of RACISM!
The Democrat Race Lie
This whopper deserves all the attention it can get. Again, it shows the ignorance and contempt of the electorate liberals depend on.
In 2010, Democrats gave their
website a facelift and whitewash. Check out the screenshot to see what they used to say about their civil rights history compared to now.
Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws, and every law that protects workers. Most recently, Democrats stood together to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act.
On every civil rights issue, Democrats have led the fight. We support vigorous enforcement of existing laws, and remain committed to protecting fundamental civil rights in America.
This is the kind of BS spewed by Democrats on a daily basis, and unfortunately the media and other so-called watchdogs are so apparently ignorant of American history, Democrats continue to LIE through their teeth to their constituents, and via academia, to our kids. Despite the truth being out there for years, it’s probably not going to explode until some big shot news anchor gives us an “explosive expose” bringing us all those facts
first, so he/she can proudly receive a Pulitzer…
