It appears that violence is nothing new to the libs when it comes to political power. Indeed, the entire world knows that they cheat at the polls, register felons and ex-cons to vote, bring out the dead, slash the tires on GOP vans, shoot and vandalize GOP centers but a new book goes indepth on JUST WHO created and profited by KKK racism and violence. You see, it follows a pattern just like the Clinton's followed during their eight-year reign of H*LL. Break the law in a new way, cry mea culpa, and pass a law so no one ELSE can do it. Just like today, now that the liberals are losing union members and falling behind as their hippie core voters die off, they are instituting hate speech laws and hate crimes laws in order to protect themselves, from the VRWC it seems.
Check this out:
Who were the targets of the KKK? They were Republicans, black OR white, and any supporters of the GOP, no matter how slight. The documentation has been assembled by David Barton and published in his book "Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black & White." It reveals that the Democrats worked hand-in-glove with the Ku Klux Klan for generations, that they started the KKK, and endorsed its mayhem. The Democrats started the KKK and for decades harassed the GOP with lynchings and threats. It is estimated that 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites died at the end of KKK ropes from 1882 to 1964. Barton said in his book: "Of all forms of violent intimidation, lynchings were by far the most effective." It should be noted that it was the Republicans who were at the forefront of efforts to pass federal anti-lynching laws. It was always THEIR platform which consistently called for a ban on lynching. It should also be noted that it was the Democrats who
successfully blocked those bills and their platforms never did condemn lynchings. Further, the first grand wizard of the KKK was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention, no Democrats voted for the 14th Amendment to grant citizenship to former slaves and, to this day, the party website ignores those decades of racism.
Historical documents used by Barton show that the Klan was established by Democrats and that the Klan played a prominent role in the Democratic Party. In addition, there is a thirteen VOLUME set of congressional investigations from 1872 conclusively and irrefutably documents that
fact. In 1871, South Carolina Democrat E.W. Seibels stated: "they [the Ku Klux Klan] belong to the reform part, [that is, to], our party, the Democratic Party,'" Barton points out in his book, "The Klan terrorized black Americans through murders and public floggings; relief was granted only if individuals promised not to vote for Republican tickets, and violation of this oath was punishable by death. Since the Klan targeted Republicans in general, it did not limit its violence simply to black Republicans; white Republicans were also included."
Tidbits:
1. In 1868, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting blacks citizenship in the United States, came before Congress: 94 percent of Republicans endorsed it. Not one Democrat, either in the House or the Senate, voted for the 14th Amendment.
2. The 1868 Democratic National Convention honored Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first grand wizard of the KKK, for his leadership.
3. Robert Flournoy, who confessed while he was canvassing the state of Mississippi in support of the 13th and 14th Amendments, he could find only one black, in a population of 444,000 in the state, who admitted being a Democrat.
4. The National Review, in 2005, published an article pointing out that Ike, a GOP'er, in 1957, deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to desegregate the Little Rock, Ark., schools over the resistance of Democrat Gov. Orval Faubus. In 1960, Ike signed the Civil Rights Act after it survived a five-day, five-hour filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats, and in 1964, Democrat President Lyndon 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 plan.
5. From the DNC's own website comes this jewel showing the jump in their history.

It skips over the Civil War and all of its issues to talk about the end of the 19th Century, William Jennings Bryan and women's suffrage. A DNC spokesman by the name of Luis, stated about this issue: "You're not going to get a comment."
6. The National Review article by Deroy Murdock cited the 1866 comment from Indiana Republican Gov. Oliver Morton condemning Democrats for their racism. "Every one who shoots down Negroes in the streets, burns Negro schoolhouses and meeting-houses, and murders women and children by the light of their own flaming dwellings, calls himself a Democrat," Morton said.
7. In 1960, Mississippi Democratic Gov. Hugh White had requested Christian evangelist Billy Graham segregate his crusades, something Graham refused to do.
8. South Carolina Democratic Gov. George Timmerman learned Billy Graham had invited African Americans to a Reformation Rally at the state Capitol, he promptly denied use of the facilities to the evangelist.
9. John Alden's 1885 book, "A Brief History of the Republican Party" noted that the KKK's early attacks were on Republicans as much as blacks, in that blacks were adopting the Republican identity en masse. Alden wrote: "In some places the Ku Klux Klan assaulted Republican officials in their houses or offices or upon the public roads; in others they attacked the meetings of negroes and displaced them. Its ostensible purpose at first was to keep the blacks in order and prevent them from committing small depredations upon the property of whites, but its real motives were essentially political. The negroes were invariable required to promise not to vote the Republican ticket, and threatened with death if they broke their promises." (One has to wonder WHY Blacks for Dhimmicrat today.)
10. Until 1935, every black federal legislator was Republican.
11. It was Republicans who appointed the first black Air Force and Army four-star generals, established Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a national holiday, and named the first black national-security adviser, secretary of state.
George Washington's farewell address noted the "danger" from parties is serious. The First POTUS wrote: "Let me now warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party, generally. The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism."
The Gunny wonders if Washington foresaw a Hitlary Klintoon and the Progressive Caucus in his nightmares.
