More revisionist history by the left...

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

Either that or just plain ignorance. Either way, more proof that you just can't trust anything these bastards says.

Did you know that George Wallace was a Republican? Along with Bull Connor? That the KKK was a Republican movement? That the Civil War was started because of slavery? All these fascinating facts and more can be found in today's episode of:

PBS's Costa Wrongly Suggests George Wallace Was a Republican
By Brad Wilmouth | December 15, 2017 10:41 PM EST

Some liberal journalists just can't get the notion out of their minds that George Wallace was a Republican, even though the former segregationist governor of Alabama was a lifelong Democrat. On Friday's Washington Week on PBS, host Robert Costa -- also a Washington Post reporter -- suggested that Wallace was a part of the Republican party's "past" as he recalled that some black voters in Alabama are worried about the direction the GOP is taking. Costa:
I spoke to a lot of African-American voters when I was down there, Jeff, and they said that they're worried that the Republican Party -- broadly speaking -- is turning back to its past. They cited the former governor of Alabama, George Wallace, a segregationist, and they say, in Roy Moore -- sometimes even in President Trump -- they hear echoes of a past that makes them uncomfortable.
Not one of the four panel members jumped in to correct the suggestion that Wallace was ever a Republican as CNN's Jeff Zeleny, CBS's Nancy Cordes, NBC's Kristen Welker, and Vice News's Shawna Thomas got their turns to speak. Cordes suggested that the RNC would be hurt by their decision to fund Roy Moore as she vaguely claimed he had made racist comments the week before the special election. Cordes:
And I do think that the fact that the RNC decided at the end to get back into this race and back Roy Moore is a decision that is going to haunt them because -- had they not done that -- people could have said, "Well, this is the President popping off and he's impulsive -- of course he couldn't resist backing Roy Moore, but the party doesn't believe in someone like Roy Moore who has espoused racist views as recently as last week of the race." But because the RNC did get back in and support him financially, it's much more difficult for Republicans to make that case.

Slavery was cited in all but one states’ Articles of Secession. Not sure how any educated person could state that it wasn’t a significant factor in starting the Civil War.

What does that have to do with the lie that George Wallace was a Republican?

They absolutely printed negative stories about Moore (along with other Republicans) with ZERO skepticism. Even when the accuser's attorney is Gloria Allred! Of course later (after the damage was done) we found out that woman forged Moore's signature in her yearbook.

If that doesn't make a newspaper take pause, then nothing will. But that's par for the course for the far left Bezos Post whose slogan suddenly became "Democracy dies in darkness" the day Trump won. Why was that not important under Obama????

P.S. Someone should tell the Post we are not a Democracy.

Go ahead and downplay its role if you want. I will continue to understand how it was a major catalyst for starting the war.

Sure, go ahead with your simplistic understanding of a complicated issue. It's easier than thinking.

Yep, that's stupid. As stupid as thinking that the Civil War wasn't about slavery. The racism of the 1800 and 1900s wasn't split on political lines, it was split geographically. Only partisan hacks try to frame it differently.

PBS's Costa Wrongly Suggests George Wallace Was a Republican
By Brad Wilmouth | December 15, 2017 10:41 PM EST

Some liberal journalists just can't get the notion out of their minds that George Wallace was a Republican, even though the former segregationist governor of Alabama was a lifelong Democrat. On Friday's Washington Week on PBS, host Robert Costa -- also a Washington Post reporter -- suggested that Wallace was a part of the Republican party's "past" as he recalled that some black voters in Alabama are worried about the direction the GOP is taking. Costa:
I spoke to a lot of African-American voters when I was down there, Jeff, and they said that they're worried that the Republican Party -- broadly speaking -- is turning back to its past. They cited the former governor of Alabama, George Wallace, a segregationist, and they say, in Roy Moore -- sometimes even in President Trump -- they hear echoes of a past that makes them uncomfortable.
Not one of the four panel members jumped in to correct the suggestion that Wallace was ever a Republican as CNN's Jeff Zeleny, CBS's Nancy Cordes, NBC's Kristen Welker, and Vice News's Shawna Thomas got their turns to speak. Cordes suggested that the RNC would be hurt by their decision to fund Roy Moore as she vaguely claimed he had made racist comments the week before the special election. Cordes:
And I do think that the fact that the RNC decided at the end to get back into this race and back Roy Moore is a decision that is going to haunt them because -- had they not done that -- people could have said, "Well, this is the President popping off and he's impulsive -- of course he couldn't resist backing Roy Moore, but the party doesn't believe in someone like Roy Moore who has espoused racist views as recently as last week of the race." But because the RNC did get back in and support him financially, it's much more difficult for Republicans to make that case.

Yep, that's stupid. As stupid as thinking that the Civil War wasn't about slavery. The racism of the 1800 and 1900s wasn't split on political lines, it was split geographically. Only partisan hacks try to frame it differently.
I don’t see why southerners can’t come to grips with the fact that slavery was a major reason for the Civil War.

Because we're educated and you're from an illegitimate state that trails the nation in education.
If you were educated, you would know that slavery was a major factor in starting the Civil War.

As opposed to Danville, where you sit drunk on the front porch next to the refrigerator waiting for the next welfare check.
