Liberals ignored my book Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama throughout the fall. Now that I'm safely home from my book tour, they feel free to jabber on about their make-believe history of the civil rights movement with abandon.
In the hackiest of all hacky articles, Sam Tanenhaus, the man responsible for ruining The New York Times Book Review, has written a cover story in The New Republic, titled: "Original Sin: Why the GOP is and will continue to be the party of white people."
MSNBC has been howling this cliche for a decade -- or, as MSNBC's Chris Matthews said of Tanenhaus' article, "a bold headline"!
Being interviewed by a giddy Matthews -- who has no black friends, employees or neighbors -- Tanenhaus announced the startling fact that once, long ago, some Republicans supported civil rights!
"In the 1950s, as I say in the piece you read, Republicans looked pretty good on civil rights under Eisenhower. We had the Brown decision, the Central High in Little Rock, where he did the tough thing and sent the troops in, and we had the first modern civil rights act."
It wasn't a "tough" decision for Eisenhower to send troops to Little Rock in 1957.
In the presidential campaign the year before, the Republican platform had expressly endorsed the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The Democratic platform did not.
To the contrary, that year, 99 members of Congress signed the "Southern Manifesto" denouncing the court's ruling in Brown. Two were Republicans. Ninety-seven were Democrats.

I used to like Ann, her actions in the election soured me on her :-(
Ann, why did you have to act so foolishly? sigh :’-(
White people on white beach
The democrats only jumped in because the LBJ mobster types saw race as an exploitable issue. They were already running a feudal system for the poor whites.
That re-writing history seems to be working pretty darn well for them considering that 90% of blacks vote for their slave master democrats.
Ignorant people are easily inveigled.
Judging by Ms Coulter’s attacks on the Obama Eligibility people....I think Coulter has a lot of personal experience in this matter
I think Ann needs to update the copyright date on her website. Is she still writing 2012 on her checks, too? Even the Chinese have turned the page on the calendar.
It should also be pointed out that Senator JFK did not vote in favor of the 1960 Civil Rights Act.
The corpse speaks again, unfortunately.
Great article, thanks for posting!
Communism is a hoax. Lenin realized it as did Marx. You stir up the idiots, lie to them, promise them everything until you get in power. You give them something to hope for.
You find middlemen willing to take a cut in exchange for keeping their people in a frenzy and filled with hatred. You preach to them, you throw them insignificant bones that the people that they are told to hate pay for.
While all of this is going on, you loot the treasury.
The left is nothing more than common criminals, paying off those willing to participate and punishing those who refuse to pay.
They are more than common criminals, they are more like socialist mafia.
can we even use the term “Black Lie”
