Why would the Democrats want to bring back this part of their sordid history? Are they planning to apologize yet?

We need the awareness, cause the democrats said that President Bush's appointments to the Supreme Court will roll back all advancements in civil rights over the past 100 years!

Should we reenact the Nazi Holocaust too? How about a slave market? When does teaching of history and calling for justice cross the line into perpetuation of racial tensions and active discouragement of harmony between the races?
To: Libloather
If this re-enactment is true to history, then it appears that several black guys with pillow cases on their heads were responsible for the lynching.
Maybe it was Clayton Bigsby, the blind, black "white supremacist".

They should reenact this:

I thought the phrase "glory days" referred to times past when it seemed like everything was going well and the world was your oyster. Apparently to Jesse Jackson and the race-turbators, the glory days were the days of lynchings, trestle hangings, Bull Connor, and water cannons. People were dying while he was grabbing headlines.
It's also the last time he was relevant.

What, they could've find some guilt-ridden white liberals to play the role of the evil KKK'ers? Bet they never even asked around. If they are Democrats, they should be guilt-ridden.
Like I say, lynchings, race repression, race murder, all of this is Democrat history. We should have no problem about reenacting any of it as long as everyone understands that the guys holding the ropes are Democrats.
As someone else pointed out, Roosevelt opposed anti-lynching legislation. I think people need to be reminded of that. The other Democrat icon of the 20th century, Woodrow Wilson, brought race repression into federal law. It was repealed later by a Republican president.
The Democrats have a lot to be ashamed of. You can't blame them for wanting to run from their history, if that was my history I'd run from it too.
We should never let ourselves be put in the position of defending or excusing Democrat history.

It's disgusting-wallowing in the death and degredation of others as if they're putting on a play. I wonder what they'd say if some Jewish people reenacted Aushwitz?

I'm not saying this or any other unsolved murder case should be closed and forgotten, but I think this media hyped re-enactment is designed more to draw publicity (and political advantage) to the participants than to re-opening the investigation.
There ya go!

There is no doubt in my military mind that this is a picture of Karl Rove.
