Another bullshit accusation from Gary the Racist. But We KNOW for a fact
that your party still to this day has a Kleagal sitting in the
Senate..HA!!!!
Here's some more 'good reading' for your racist ass, rosetard..enjoy!

In 1865, Congressional Republicans unanimously backed the 13th Amendment,
which made slavery unconstitutional. Among Democrats, 63 percent of senators
and 78 percent of House members voted: "No."

In 1866, 94 percent of GOP senators and 96 percent of GOP House members
approved the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing all Americans equal protection of
the law. Every congressional Democrat voted: "No."

February 28, 1871: The GOP Congress passed the Enforcement Act, giving black
voters federal protection.

February 8, 1894: Democratic President Grover Cleveland and a Democratic
Congress repealed the GOP's Enforcement Act, denying black voters federal
protection.

January 26, 1922: The U.S. House adopted Rep. Leonidas Dyer's (R., Mo.) bill
making lynching a federal crime. Filibustering Senate Democrats killed the
measure.

May 17, 1954: As chief justice, former three-term governor Earl Warren (R.,
Calif.) led the U.S. Supreme Court's desegregation of government schools via
the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. GOP President Dwight
Eisenhower's Justice Department argued for Topeka, Kansas's black school
children. Democrat John W. Davis, who lost a presidential bid to incumbent
Republican Calvin Coolidge in 1924, defended "separate but equal"
classrooms.

September 24, 1957: Eisenhower deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to
desegregate Little Rock's government schools over the strenuous resistance
of Governor Orval Faubus (D., Ark.).

May 6, 1960: Eisenhower signs the GOP's 1960 Civil Rights Act after it
survived a five-day, five-hour filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats.

July 2, 1964: Democratic President Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act
after former Klansman Robert Byrd's 14-hour filibuster and the votes of 22
other Senate Democrats (including Tennessee's Al Gore, Sr.) failed to
scuttle the measure. Illinois Republican Everett Dirksen rallied 26 GOP
senators and 44 Democrats to invoke cloture and allow the bill's passage.
According to John Fonte in the January 9, 2003, National Review, 82 percent
of Republicans so voted, versus only 66 percent of Democrats.

True, Senator Barry Goldwater (R., Ariz.) opposed this bill the very year he
became the GOP's presidential standard-bearer. However, Goldwater supported
the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts and called for integrating Arizona's
National Guard two years before Truman desegregated the military. Goldwater
feared the 1964 Act would limit freedom of association in the private
sector, a controversial but principled libertarian objection rooted in the
First Amendment rather than racial hatred.

June 29, 1982: President Ronald Reagan signed a 25-year extension of the
Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The Republican party also is the home of numerous "firsts." Among them:

Until 1935, every black federal legislator was Republican. America's first
black U.S. Representative, South Carolina's Joseph Rainey, and our first
black senator, Mississippi's Hiram Revels, both reached Capitol Hill in
1870. On December 9, 1872, Louisiana Republican Pinckney Benton Stewart
"P.B.S." Pinchback became America's first black governor.

August 8, 1878: GOP supply-siders may hate to admit it, but America's first
black Collector of Internal Revenue was former U.S. Rep. James Rapier (R.,
Ala.).

October 16, 1901: GOP President Theodore Roosevelt invited to the White
House as its first black dinner guest Republican educator Booker T.
Washington. The pro-Democrat Richmond Times newspaper warned that
consequently, "White women may receive attentions from Negro men." As Toni
Marshall wrote in the November 9, 1995, Washington Times, when Roosevelt
sought reelection in 1904, Democrats produced a button that showed their
presidential nominee, Alton Parker, beside a white couple while Roosevelt
posed with a white bride and black groom. The button read: "The Choice Is
Yours."

GOP presidents Gerald Ford in 1975 and Ronald Reagan in 1982 promoted Daniel
James and Roscoe Robinson to become, respectively, the Air Force's and
Army's first black four-star generals.

November 2, 1983: President Reagan established Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s
birthday as a national holiday, the first such honor for a black American.

President Reagan named Colin Powell America's first black national-security
adviser while GOP President George W. Bush appointed him our first black
secretary of state.

President G.W. Bush named Condoleezza Rice America's first black female NSC
chief, then our second (consecutive) black secretary of State. Just last
month, one-time Klansman Robert Byrd and other Senate Democrats stalled
Rice's confirmation for a week. Amid unanimous GOP support, 12 Democrats and
Vermont Independent James Jeffords opposed Rice - the most "No" votes for a
State designee since 14 senators frowned on Henry Clay in 1825.

"The first Republican I knew was my father, and he is still the Republican I
most admire," Rice has said. "He joined our party because the Democrats in
Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans
did. My father has never forgotten that day, and neither have I."

The House Policy Committee's 2005 Republican Freedom Calendar offers 365
examples of GOP support for women, blacks, and other minorities, often over
Democratic objections. Among its highlights:

"To stop the Democrats' pro-slavery agenda, anti-slavery activists founded
the Republican party, starting with a few dozen men and women in Ripon,
Wisconsin on March 20, 1854," the calendar notes. "Democratic opposition to
Republican efforts to protect the civil rights of all Americans lasted not
only throughout Reconstruction, but well into the 20th century. In the
south, those Democrats who most bitterly opposed equality for blacks founded
the Ku Klux Klan, which operated as the party's terrorist wing."

Contemporary partisan hyperbole? Consider this 1866 comment from Governor
Oliver Morton (R., Ind.), who is immortalized in the U.S. Capitol's Statuary
Hall: "Every one who shoots down Negroes in the streets, burns Negro
school-houses and meeting-houses, and murders women and children by the
light of their own flaming dwellings, calls himself a Democrat," Morton
said. "Every New York rioter in 1863 who burned up little children in
colored asylums, who robbed, ravished, and murdered indiscriminately in the
midst of a blazing city for three days and nights, calls himself a
Democrat."

White supremacists worked club in hand with Democrats for decades:

May 22, 1856: Two years after the Grand Old party's birth, U.S. Senator
Charles Sumner (R., Mass.) rose to decry pro-slavery Democrats. Congressman
Preston Brooks (D., S.C.) responded by grabbing a stick and beating Sumner
unconscious in the Senate chamber. Disabled, Sumner could not resume his
duties for three years.

July 30, 1866: New Orleans's Democratic government ordered police to raid an
integrated GOP meeting, killing 40 people and injuring 150.

September 28, 1868: Democrats in Opelousas, Louisiana killed nearly 300
blacks who tried to foil an assault on a Republican newspaper editor.

October 7, 1868: Republicans criticized Democrats' national slogan: "This is
a white man's country: Let white men rule."

April 20, 1871: The GOP Congress adopted the Ku Klux Klan Act, banning the
pro-Democrat domestic terrorist group.

October 18, 1871: GOP President Ulysses S. Grant dispatched federal troops
to quell Klan violence in South Carolina.

September 14, 1874: Racist white Democrats stormed Louisiana's statehouse to
oust GOP Governor William Kellogg's racially integrated administration; 27
are killed.

August 17, 1937: Republicans opposed Democratic President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt's Supreme Court nominee, U.S. Senator Hugo Black (D., Al.), a
former Klansman who defended Klansmen against race-murder charges.

February 2005: The Democrats' Klan-coddling today is embodied by KKK alumnus
Robert Byrd, West Virginia's logorrheic U.S. senator and, having served
since January 3, 1959, that body's dean. Thirteen years earlier, Byrd wrote
this to the KKK's Imperial Wizard: "The Klan is needed today as never before
and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." Byrd led Senate
Democrats as late as December 1988. On March 4, 2001, Byrd told Fox News's
Tony Snow: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my
time; I'm going to use that word." National Democrats never have arranged a
primary challenge against or otherwise pressed this one-time cross-burner to
get lost.

Contrast the KKKozy Democrats with the GOP. When former Klansman David Duke
ran for Louisiana governor in 1991 as a Republican, national GOP officials
scorned him. Local Republicans endorsed incumbent Democrat Edwin Edwards,
despite his ethical baggage. As one Republican-created bumper sticker
pleaded: "Vote for the crook: It's important!"
