However, where the fact that a Democrat President signed the Civil Rights Act (which was passed with a large majority of Democratic votes outside the Southern Bloc) fits into all that, I'm not sure.

All valid points, and don't think I buy into 1) Obama's remarks on Christianity as compared to radical Islam, or 2) any lack of credibility of today's Democrat on race.

Just pointing out the ridiculousness of it all, as is the author of this piece. And he makes one valid point that really stands out when viewed through the prism of Obama logic -- Before a Democrat ever plays the race card again, first take a shot of Jim Crow mixed with KKK with a Robert Byrd chaser, then think it over carefully and dismount.

Before a Democrat ever plays the race card again, first take a shot of Jim Crow mixed with KKK with a Robert Byrd chaser, then think it over carefully and dismount

So you are saying that because of the actions of select people in history, people who now identify themselves as Democrats have no credibility on race issues ever again?

You're a Republican, so because of Richard Nixon you're a liar until the day you die.

Before a Democrat ever plays the race card again, first take a shot of Jim Crow mixed with KKK with a Robert Byrd chaser, then think it over carefully and dismount.

So you inferred from Obama's prayer breakfast speech that he was saying no Christian can play the terrorist card?

I can't even believe that speech is an issue. But, when you don't have real issues I guess you gotta make them up. No Benghazi, an improving economy, Obamacare success... yeah I can see why you guys got to make $hit up.

1. The terrorist card seems to be doing a pretty good job playing itself.

2. That speech never took place. Conservatives made the whole thing up.

http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/books/phillips-southern.pdf

" From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that...but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats. "

Non sense.

Fixed it for ya. 😛

Seriously, the analogy of being a republican and Richard Nixon is based on YOUR take on Obama's logic. I have no idea where it comes from, but your take on Obama's logic and Obama's logic are not even apples and oranges, more like apples and dump trucks.

Half the piece refers to the connection of Southern Democrat racism in the 60s invalidating any opinion by any Democrat on race from now to the end of time. Didja miss that part?

It's not an invalidation as much as a proposal that Democrats (in light of their past history) think twice before playing the race card in the future. Applying Obama logic, of course. Christianity is not squeaky clean with regard to past terrorism (nobody ever said it was), nor are the Democrats when it comes to race. Fair enough?

No. Not at all.

I was born in 1970. I am a Democrat. Because there were some racist Democrats before I was born, according to you, I need to "think twice" before I comment on a racial matter.

David Duke ran in several elections, including President, as a Republican. Therefore, applying Alloak41 Logic, you also need to "think twice" on these matters as well.

Seriously? Do you really not see that the point is that the president is wrong to blame modern Christians for the sins of the past as it would be wrong to blame modern Democrats for the party's sins of the past?

This is particularly cogent given how Obama sees fit to somehow blame Christianity for slavery and Jim Crow but not his past Democratic party. Naturally he also ignores the very important role Christianity played in the abolition movement as well of course as the 20th century civil rights movement.

You are free to feel that way. Sorry that, as a modern Christian your feelings are hurt.

I didn't hear him blaming anyone. I recognize he has said that in the past atrocities have been carried out in the name of Christianity. And just as it wouldn't be correct to punish all Christians for those atrocities it is not right to punish all Muslims for the current atrocities.

If you don't get that - your have a real problem with reading, or listening for comprehension.

You missed it again. It has NOTHING to do with what I think. It has everything to do with Obama's remarks on Christianity.

Viewed through the prism of Obama logic with regards to Christianity, given the Democrats spotty past record on race, if he's consistent the Democrats should never again play the race card. Seems only fair.

According to Barack Obama, not me.

They were also Christians. In fact God is mentioned in the KKK oath as far back as the 1870s. I don't see any mention of political affiliation in the oath. alloak clearly to wants to hold the current democratic party responsible in some way for the KKK, or at least link them together. I'm not sure if they were Christians first and democrats second or vice versa, but again there is no reference to political party affiliation in their pledge but there is a reference to God. So I guess you could also say that the "The KKK was founded by Christians" and by his logic, hold the feet of all Christians to the fire for giving us the KKK (which would let Obama off the hook, he being a Muslim and all).

Except.

King was not a partisan and never endorsed any political candidate. In a 1958 interview, King said “I don’t think the Republican party is a party full of the almighty God nor is the Democratic party. They both have weaknesses … And I’m not inextricably bound to either party.”

King did, however, weigh in on the Republican party during his lifetime. In Chapter 23 of his autobiography, King writes this about the 1964 Republican National Convention:

The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right. The “best man” at this ceremony was a senator whose voting record, philosophy, and program were anathema to all the hard-won achievements of the past decade.

Senator Goldwater had neither the concern nor the comprehension necessary to grapple with this problem of poverty in the fashion that the historical moment dictated. On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represented a philosophy that was morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulated a philosophy which gave aid and comfort to the racist. His candidacy and philosophy would serve as an umbrella under which extremists of all stripes would stand. In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I had no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that did not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.

King barnstormed the country on behalf on Johnson in 1964, “maintaining only a thin veneer of nonpartisanship,” according to biographer Nick Kotz. King called Johnson’s win a “great victory for the forces of progress and a defeat for the forces of retrogress.”

Here is what King had to say about Ronald Reagan, the hero of modern Republicans:

When a Hollywood performer, lacking distinction even as an actor can become a leading war hawk candidate for the Presidency, only the irrationalities induced by a war psychosis can explain such a melancholy turn of events.

David Garrow, who wrote a Pulitzer Prize winning biography of King, stated “It’s simply incorrect to call Dr. King a Republican.”

King, according to Garrow, did hold some Republicans — including Richard Nixon and Nelson Rockefeller — in high regard. He also was harshly critical of Lyndon Johnson’s escalation of the Vietnam War.

In 2008, King’s son Martin Luther King III said “It is disingenuous to imply that my father was a Republican. He never endorsed any presidential candidate, and there is certainly no evidence that he ever even voted for a Republican.” Garrow claimed there is little doubt King voted for Kennedy in 1960 and Johnson in 1964.

You missed it yet again. Did you read the article at the top of the thread? I didn't make the speech at the prayer breakfast, Obama did. One more try, it has virtually nothing to with me nor with whether I agree with statements the President made in this speech. It's about markers that Obama set up in his speech, obviously unwitting, but he did.

I suggest reading the article and maybe you will then get the point. Strangely, the article is centered around comments Obama made and makes absolutely no mention of me. The logical connection put forth by the author is not that difficult to understand.
