When you thought Ann Coulter couldn't get any crazier, here you go...

Most of them were run out of the party or told to change their ways if they wanted to stay. Or they found another party much more hospitable to their beliefs.

 

I know the Dems have changed their stance. But if you're trying to imply that Republicans now stand in schoolhouse doors and hand out ax handles to beat people with, well, that's more than a bit off-base. I was merely responding to ridiculous posts such as the one made by TigerVols, who demanded proof that Southern Democrats in the '60s were racist.

 

Then...you have no point.

 

Oh, I don't know about that. You do know the Cubs used to go to the World Series like every year, right? Why everyone gotta hate on the Cubs?

 

I never denied that Southern Democrats weren't racists. That's why so many of them became Republicans.

Can you provide me any proof where liberals have gotten upset that 2 percent of African-Americans align themselves with the Republican party?

Or where "being a Dem [what the hell is a dem?] does not go hand-in-hand with being African-American?" I know plenty of Democratic party supporters who are not African-American. Maybe you mean being African-American does not go hand-in-hand with being a supporter of the Democratic party? If that's what you meant, you're right exactly 4 percent of the time, according to the study I linked to above.

And can you point out anything in the lifetime of anyone born after 1970 that a Republican-led government passed that blacks supported and Democrats opposed?

I'll wait right here while you go search.

 

"I've always wanted to say this...for shizzle!"

 

I'll save hondo some time: bans on gay marriage.

 

I know you're not mocking the post; Mockery requires a bit more intelligence than you possess. Your post is about as simplistic as it gets. Third-grade political commentary.

 

Talk is cheap. Pandering delivers votes, not substantive change.

 

Why do Republicans feel the need to defend Coulter? As much as we like to make fun of her, I don't think she really represents even what most Republicans think...does she?

I mean, I don't ever feel the need to defend someone like Bill Maher, for example. I know exactly what he is and in general don't take him seriously.

 

Also, bringing up Democrats/Republicans of three or four generations ago is well, fairly irrelevant, I think. The composition of those parties bears little resemblance to the ones of today. It's much more relevant to discuss the political philosophies (i.e. liberal/conservative) that have been more constant. The name of a party is just that, a name.

Abraham Lincoln was a Radical Republican in his day, but what does that have to do with the modern Republican party? Absolutely nothing. It's overly simplistic, but over time, liberals moved from the Republicans to the Democrats and vice versa. So bringing up the fact that Strom Thurmond was a Republican or that Robert Byrd was a Democrat doesn't really mean much.
