MSNBC's Chris Matthews, in a recent debate with former
Republican National Chairman Michael Steele, called the Republican Party the
"grand wizard crowd." Grand wizard is the title given to the leader
of the Ku Klux Klan. It is truly misinformed to call Republicans the party of
the Klan. Throughout our history, most Klansmen and most racists have been
Democrats. Here are a few racist quotes from major Democratic figures.
The late Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., a former Klansman,
wrote during World War II: "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a
Negro by my side. ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory
trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours
become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the
wilds."
When Lyndon B. Johnson was in the House of Representatives,
he said that President Harry Truman's civil rights program was "a farce
and a sham -- an effort to set up a police state in the guise of liberty."
He continued: "I am opposed to that program. I have voted against the
so-called poll tax repeal bill. ... I have voted against the so-called
anti-lynching bill." When Johnson had become senator, he observed,
"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days, and that's a
problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political
pull to back up their uppityness."
Chris Matthews is by no means unique among NBC's
race-baiters. After NBC was caught red-handed doctoring George Zimmerman's 911
call to a police dispatcher, in an effort to make him out to be a racist, Steve
Capus, president of NBC's news division, said it was "a mistake and not a
deliberate act to misrepresent the phone call." That's a baldfaced lie,
for it's almost impossible to make such a mistake. Furthermore, the producer
who allegedly was fired remains a secret.
When Texas Gov. Rick Perry referred to our national debt
as a "big black cloud that hangs over America, (a) debt that is so
monstrous," MSNBC's Ed Schultz said, "That black cloud Perry is
talking about is President Barack Obama." Matthews chimed in to say that
Perry's vision of federalism is "Bull Connor with a smile."
In August 2009, MSNBC's Contessa Brewer was discussing a
tea party rally in Arizona, where it's legal to carry an unconcealed weapon.
She said: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally ... wore a
semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip. ... There
are questions about whether this has racial overtones. I mean, here you have a
man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns." All
that her audience was shown were a rifle and pistol strapped to a man's back.
MSNBC concealed the fact that the armed man was black and did not show the
interview he gave to the reporter. Brewer knowingly deceived her audience
because an armed black man didn't fit the racial narrative.
It's not just white liberals in the media who are
stirring up racial animosity; they have help from black politicians. During
last year's debate on the debt ceiling, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, said
that argument over the debt ceiling was proof of racial animosity toward Obama.
Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., said the tea party wishes to lynch blacks and hang
them from trees. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said Perry's job creation in
Texas is "one stage away from slavery." While appearing on MSNBC,
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter referred to Trayvon Martin's death as an
"assassination." Nutter had better worry about the 118
"assassinations" in Philadelphia so far this year.
To their own detriment -- and that of the nation -- black
people are being used to further the liberal big-government agenda. Black
people have been misled to think that their problems are with white people and
government and that black politicians are the solution. There's not a speck of
evidence supporting either vision -- despite the election of a white African as
president.
