It's offical, Harry Reid is now dumber that broccoli!

Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), the majority leader (a very powerful position) is now officially dumber than a vegetable. Things that are smarter than Reid, include; vegetables, pocket lint, a used tampon, Lindsay Lohan, Drew Barrymore, and lawyers. In fact, I think he is the only person in recorder history to be fully functional, while being in a persistent vegetative state.

Now, let's discuss what's going on. So vegetable-boy said:
"Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right," Reid said Monday. "When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'

I see. So, Republicans are the ones that wanted slavery. Gotcha. If by "Republicans" he meant "democrats" then he's right.

Let's talk history. In the interest of brevity and frankly, I don't want to type that much, I'll only give you some "pearls."

Start with this premise. The Republican party was formed in 1854 because they (the people that believed slavery was wrong, the Whigs) wanted their voice to be heard and wanted to distance themselves from the democrats. Horace Greely actually coined the term "Republican."
Liberal brutallity has always been at the forefront of debates. In, I think 1857, during the Philidelphia convention, two Democrat senators Brooks and Keitt attacked, with a cane, Republican Charles Sumner, after Sumner delivered a beautiful anti-slavery speech.

The KKK was formed by the democrat party in 1866. Most of the heads of the KKK were members of the Confederate Army (most of the south was democrat). The reason they were formed is because many blacks were starting to get into power and those people were Republicans, so called "Radical Republicans."

The majority of famous civil rights violations were under the watchful eye of democrats. Republicans, for the most part, tried to stop slavery and segregation. Let's take a little trip through the looking-glass at some history.

1) MLK-Republican

2) Abraham Lincoln- Republican, emancipation proclamation, and others

3) Hiram Revels- Republican, 1st Black U.S. Senator, 1870, Mississippi

4) P. B. S. Pinchback - Republican, 1st Black Governor, Louisiana

5) Joseph Rainey- Republican, 1st Black member of the House of Representatives, 1870, South Carolina

6) Edward Park Duplex- Republican, 1st black Mayor, Wheatland, California, 1888

7) Bull Connor- Democrat, Public safety commissioner, Burmingham, Alabama, liked to use water hoses and dogs against civil rights protesters. Link

8) George Wallace - democrat Governor of Alabama, pro-segregationist, gave the famous "stand in the doorway speech"

9) Senator Robert Byrd (still active)- Democrat, West Virginia, former Grand Kleagle of the KKK. In fact, as late as 200q he made this statement:
"My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much." he did later appologize. Can you imagine if Rush or Reagan said that?!

10) Albert Gore Sr. (the apple doesn't fall far from the nut tree)- Democrat, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.


Those are off the top of my head. If you look at the first democrats who are black, you don't have to go very far. 1960's are most of them started becoming prominent. Usually they were hardcore socialists. There are many other "black firsts" that were conservative, republican, or under a republican administrations. They, however, are called "uncle toms" and "sell-outs" by the left. In fact, earlier this year in Kinston, NC, a 2/3 black town decided that they did not want they're candidates to have a political affiliation. Meaning, on the ballot, you would not see "John Doe, republican." Instead you would see "John Doe". The Holder department of Justice Overruled them and said, can't do that. The reason was because "Removing the partisan cue in municipal elections will, in all likelihood, eliminate the single factor that allows black candidates to be elected to office." In other words, if there's no "democrat" by the name, blacks are too stupid to vote for the person on their stances on issues. This is the same Eric Holder who had a big role in the release of FALN Puerto Rican separatists terrorists and is bringing KSM to NY for trial.
In any case, the media and the libs have done an excellent job in convincing morons that the republican party is the party that has been against civil rights, while all along it has the democrats. Don't take my word for it, read some history.

So when these libs go around saying things such as vegetable-boy said, they are really projecting their views on to us. In psychiatry that's called an immature self-defense mechanism.
