MSNBC rewrites history

[baldeagle]

Ouch! Apparently I was thinking of Robert Kennedy, who was still Attorney General at the time, but wrote JFK. My old mind doesn't work like it used to any more.

Edit: I missed the correction before posting this one.

[C-dub]

The date is of the lynching.

OK then, let me paraphrase the above sentence.

"JFK's reluctant usurpation of state's rights to pursue the murders of three American civil rights' workers who were lynched seven months after he was assassinated."

Nope. Still doesn't make sense to me.

Oh well, looks like Baldeagle amended it.

BTW, has anyone seen that MSNBC admitted to the mistake?

I don't know if they really corrected it on air or not.

[The Annoyed Man]

The Democrats fought EVERY Republican civil rights measure beginning in 1866 and continuing on through multiple civil rights bills (1871, 1875, 1957 and 1960, two Constitutional Amendments (the 13th and 14th) and massive protesting. Once they realized they would lose the fight, they immediately began taking credit for everything having to do with the civil rights movement. And most people today believe that the Republicans were the racists. George Wallace and Orville Faubus, the only two governors to openly defy the federal government on integration, were both Democrats. Sheriff Bull O'Connor and all the other racist Sheriffs on the south were all Democrats. Martin Luther King's assassin was a Democrat. Medgar Evers assassin was a Democrat. The Ku Klux Klan was founded by Democrats. Gun control laws were instituted by Democrats in the south to keep blacks from defending themselves against lynchings and murders. Jim Crow laws were passed by Democrats to keep blacks from voting.

The first black Congressmen and Senators from the south were Republicans. No black Democrat was elected until after the Civil Rights Act of 1965 was passed and Democrats began taking credit for "freeing" the blacks.

Two things turned the tide for the Democrats. Attorney General Robert Kennedy's reluctant usurpation of state's rights to pursue the murders of three American civil rights' workers, James Earl Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael "Mickey" Schwerner, who were lynched on the night of June 21–22, 1964 in Philadelphia, MS and then buried in a construction site (portrayed in the movie Mississippi Burning) and Lyndon Johnson's reluctant acceptance of the 1965 Civil Rights bill when he realized they were going to lose. Leveraging those two events, Democrats reshaped their message to claim the mantle of civil rights leaders and gained the obeisance of black leadership by using the carrot of social programs to "help" the blacks. (Of course those programs ended up destroying the black family and enslaving many black Americans to the federal government. One might cynically surmise that the purpose of those programs was to do just that.)

People who do not learn their history will be continually misled by those who know it and lie about it, like MSNBC. And millions of fools will now believe that George Wallace was a Republican, reinforcing the image that Republicans are the racists. And what do the Republicans do to combat these vicious lies? Nothing.

Edited to correct the record. It was Robert Kennedy, not JFK, who involved the feds in the murder investigation. Thanks to PawPaw for catching my error.

LBJ, in his own words:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1rIDmDWSms
WARNING: he freely uses the "N" word.

He also referred to MLK as "that "N-word" preacher." Here are two more of his more notable quotes about "uppity" black Americans (about half way down the page): http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/40889. Yes, he did sign civil rights legislation into law. But it is equally clear that he did so for cynical reasons intended to keep people of color on the democrat plantation. He even said so. He just wasn't very nice about how he said it.

MSNBC rewriting history? Is that you, Winston?

[quote="George Orwell in "1984""]"Winston dialled 'back numbers' on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes' delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, as the official phrase had it, to rectify."[/quote]

Hard to believe that this loathsome, renegade, out-of-control mouthpiece for the Demonrat party is taken seriously by ANYONE! I urge everyone to boycott ANYTHING affiliated with the NBC network.

In this clip, they attempt to frame the racist politician from the 60s and 70s, George Wallace as a Republican.

The left counts on the ignorance, stupidity, and short memories of its base.....Wallace ran on the platform that there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.
