The Left's Selective Memory

Our buddy MMP has another clueless post up today. He talks about what should be the fiercest Senate race in '06 between incumbent Rick Santorum and Bob Casey:

I'm not wild about Casey; he is the son of the most famous DINO (democrat in name only) in history. He's also anti-choice and pro-gun. But he's better than the George Wallace clone currently in office.

George Wallace clone, huh? Perhaps Dylan could take a minute away from his Yanni CD's and use a special new device called a search engine. He may have discovered that George Wallace was a Democrat, as were most rabid segregationists. In fact, the Democrat Wallace was a vehement racist:

A member of the Democratic Party, Wallace attempted in 1958 to become his party's candidate for governor of Alabama. His main rival, John Patterson, Alabama's Attorney General, was an outspoken segregationist who had become a popular hero with white racists by using the state courts to declare the NAACP in Alabama an illegal organization. Patterson was endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan and easily defeated Wallace.
After the election Patterson admitted that: "The primary reason I beat him (Wallace) was because he was considered soft on the race question." Wallace agreed and decided to drop his support for integration and was quoted as saying: "no other son-of-a-bitch will ever out-nigger me again".
One of the ways that Wallace improved his racist credentials was to recruit Asa Earl Carter as his main speechwriter in the 1962 election. Carter, the head of a Ku Klux Klan terrorist organisation, was one of the most extreme racists in Alabama. Carter wrote most of Wallace's speeches during the campaign and this included the slogan: "Segregation now! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation forever!"

A nice guy was Mr. Wallace. So let me get this straight, Dylan is comparing Rick Santorum to a man with ties to the KKK? I can honestly say I've never heard Santorum utter anything near racist. I guess he does it in code like the rest of us sheet wearing Republicans.

Here's a little free history lesson, the Republicans assisted LBJ with passing the Civil Right Act, while the Dems fought tooth and nail against it. The Republicans do not have a former member of the KKK holding a seat on their side of the aisle. The Dems can't say the same. Lastly, the last Secretary of State as well as the current one are both African-American while the highest ranking black democrat was Ron Brown at Commerce. And we'll see how this grabs you. Dylan, the Republican primary in 2008 could well have two black candidates (Condi Rice and Colin Powell) and one would be a woman.

This is one of the things I dislike about the liberals, they throw around slurs like Bush=Hitler or Republicans are Nazi's without really knowing what they are talking about. That type of vitriol just makes them sound stupid. I guess they get their debating skills from the intelligent folks on Jerry Springer. Perhaps if you really wanted to compare someone to a mass murderer, libs would compare Republicans to the man who killed more people than anyone; Josef Stalin. But then they would have to admit some uncomfortable things about the former utopia of Communism, the Soviet Union and that just won't do.
