John Dingell (D-Mich) on MSNBC:
Well, the last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it. At that time, we had a lot of Ku Klux Klan folks and white supremacists and folks in white sheets and other things running around causing trouble.
Note to Think Progress: You're supposed to blog about things that will hurt Republicans, not Democrats. George Soros is going to be very very angry at you.

This constant playing of the race card has only served one purpose — to desensitize most of us to it and make us laugh instead of take it seriously... dems really are the stupid party.
But his logic falls apart down in St. Louis where the protester who got roughed up was, uh gee, black. Can’t only be the Klan protesting if there’s black folks among ‘em, Dingell-berry!
It’s really bad when the primary author of HR 3200 can’t/won’t defend/debate his bill on the merits and instead just calls those in principled opposition racists.
I’ve seen better debating skills used by my son (aqe 11) in his summer-long campaign to trade in the Playstation2 for an Xbox 360.
“I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it”
Just who was in office to vote? Dingle or his opponent? It seems that they both could not hold the same office at the same time. IMHO I think his opponent probably voted for civil rights and Dingle as the opponent was not in office to even vote.
He’s probably still mad they gave away his committee.
Good job on your post. It is just plain gall that Dems have that allows them to deny reality and history. My own opinion is that they can get away with rewriting history because the citizenry have been totally dumbed down by our corrupt public education system.
I have heard over and over from folks my age category (70’s and more) that they have enjoyed almost every minute of life so far (and are extremely thankful for it) but like me, don’t want to be around if and when the Socialists get final control of this country. We will be on the underside of the grass, but will feel sorry for our kids, grand kids and their offspring.

“At the start of each Congress, Dingell has introduced legislation (H.R. 15 in the 110th Congress) which proposes a national health plan financed by value-added tax and the National Health Care Trust Fund. He continues to pursue a U.S. Patients’ Bill of Rights.[5] He personally favors a single-payer plan and government-run insurance program, but he followed the Clintons’ proposal, managed competition, during the Clinton administration. “
