Articles: Democrats Continue to Prove that It's All about Vote-Buying

AMERICAN THINKER
August 12, 2013

Here's something I'll wager that we don't hear about from Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson, or Sheila Jackson Lee, or Jeremiah Wright, or Barack Hussein Obama, or the NAACP, or any Democrat for that matter.  Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ), a Democrat and civil rights icon, speaking while aboard Air Force One about his "Great Society" to two sympathetic governors, said, "I'll have them niggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years."
LBJ also said (emphasis mine):
These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness.  Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.
I know that LBJ's language was/is offensive, but hey -- LBJ was an offensive guy!
Civil rights, indeed!  LBJ had only one purpose in mind, was doing nothing more than out-and-out vote buying.  And what's worse is that blacks (and liberal whites) bought it.
Of black Americans, 44 percent consider themselves to have a moderate political viewpoint, and only 28 percent consider themselves liberals.  It was, along with LBJ's efforts, the association of civil rights legislation with John F. Kennedy (JFK) and LBJ that solidified black loyalty to the Democrat Party.  JFK proposed and LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  No Republican presidential candidate has gotten more than 15 percent of the black vote since.

First Black Tea Party Forms in Houston

Anita MonCrief, infamous ACORN whistleblower, went on Sean Hannity's radio show this Thursday to discuss the founding of America's first black Tea Party.


Named after the first person to die in the Revolutionary War, the Crispus Attucks Tea Party was founded yesterday, January 18th, 2011, at "This Is It" soul food restaurant in the heart of Houston, Texas' 18th district. (Read the interesting original court documents about the "Boston Massacre," including a dramatic description of Attucks' slaying, here.)

The 18th district is represented by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, and was the focal point of rampant ACORN-style vote fraud and widespread voter intimidation this past November. It is thus fitting that this tea party had its inaugural meeting right down the street from Lee's residence.

With the typical politesse and considerate attitude of conservatives -- always left unreported by the press (do ya think?) -- Rep. Lee was extended an invitation to the event. And with typical leftist rudeness, Lee snubbed it. Wonder why? These are her constituents, after all.

Aren’t they?

The local Fox News channel reporting on the event hastened to observe that many attendees at this founding meeting were white. Simply unbelievable. Is it not even possible to attend an event in support of this exciting new group without the information being somehow skewed by the media to suggest that it wasn't "authentic" because white people were there???

One blogger put up a hilarious parody of liberal hypocrisy, observing that if they could get away with it, liberals would report the event as: White Tea Party Racists Attend Black Tea Party.

Well, never mind. The times they are a changin'! Yes they are, and the media is getting the message, whether they want to hear it or not. We are not going away.
