House Dem: Tea Party is the 'real enemy'

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, also participating in the town hall, compared the modern Tea Party movement to opposition to the civil-rights movement. "The Tea Party is a new name on an old game," he said. "Dr. King fought a 'tea party' in Alabama."

It is, and has always been, the Democrat Party that is in opposition to the Civil Rights Movement.

"... the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.

It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws.

The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks.

The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s.

During the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats who stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks and let loose vicious dogs.

Wow, I feel so proud getting a response directly from you. Thank you for this wonderful venue where I have learned so much. FR is more like a “higher learning institution” than a discussion site.

Keep the faith, we have your back.

“I bet a dollar King George III said the same thing back in 1776. So be it.”

That is the best response that I have seen on any of the threads regarding this subject! Thanks for the reminder.
