It’s like the movie “Groundhog Day.” We are condemned to be forever repeating the same old things, but with slight variations and plot twists. Endlessly. That’s what it’s like watching that Golden Oldie, Hillary Clinton.
What do you think?
Now, she’s beating the drum about voter suppression. She’s trying to convince black voters that the mean old Republicans are trying to prevent them from exercising their hard-won franchise.
What do you think?
To do this, she has to erase a lot of history. That shouldn’t be too hard. Just put a hundred and fifty years of documented evidence in the same place she put her hard drive. If only Nixon had thought of this one.
What do you think?
Hillary seems to forget that every vote cast against the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution was cast by a Democrat. Even Hollywood managed to get that much right. The movie “Lincoln” shows opposition to Amendment XIII that ended slavery being led by New York Congressman Fernando Wood—Democrat. (Of course, the movie also shows President Lincoln tussling with moderate Republicans over the Thirteenth. Really? Name just one.)
Civil Rights laws? The nation desperately needed them in the 1860s after the Civil War. Democrats led the opposition to Civil Rights laws in both Houses of Congress.
What do you think?
From the 1860s to the 1960s, opposition to Civil Rights laws was led by the Democrats. Only Democrats. That’s a lot of history Hillary has to erase. Maybe she can get old pal Sidney Blumenthal to help her do the shredding of documents. Or perhaps she can persuade Sandy Berger to run over the National Archives and stuff the inconvenient truths into his trousers.
What do you think?
Let’s take anti-lynching legislation for starters. Beginning in 1922, House Republicans led the effort to make lynching a federal crime. They passed a bill to that effect, but it ran into a filibuster in the Senate — led by (you guessed it) Democrats. So strong was the opposition of certain Democrats to anti-lynch laws that it took thirty years and the Emmett Till tragedy to overcome their opposition.
