#1 Yawn. Yet another hit piece comparing people that the Obamaklatura doesn't like with the KKK and George Wallace. You'd almost think there was some kind of official talking points being circulated by someone in the Administration.....(/sarc off)

Anyway, if there was someone at the GOP leadership who was remotely aware of history, they would issue a press release or something to remind people that Gov. Wallace was a Democrat, and that the senior Dem senator from WV is/was a Grand Kleagle. They could toss in the fact that the Civil Rights Act was mainly passed with Republican votes, too. But I guess I expect too much from that gang o' twits.

#2 Those were the faces I saw at a David Duke rally in Metairie, La., in 1991

Yes, Colbert. I'm sure you attended a lotta Klan rallies in Louisiana in 1991. I'm almost positive you're not making this up...

#3 Andrew Breitbart, of the outing of ACORN, is offering $10,000 for any picture, video, recording of proof of any racial or homophobic epithets. Last I heard, none have come forward.

Alex, I'll take "Famous Racial Slurs" for $10,000."

#5 This is lower primate behavior. They're pumping themselves up with rhetoric to get the hormones flowing to overcome basic survival instinct before they do something real stupid. That's what's behind all the demonetization displays frothing from their orifices. When they break the leash on the object of their scorn, its not going to be pretty. Everyone else, just remember the words of Captain Parker at Lexington - "Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."

#6 Forgive me for dredging up old history, but the political base of the Klan was essentially Southern Democrats. You know, those people that opposed all that icky civil rights legislation.

#8 Colbert I King wrote this hit piece? Had I not looked I would have thought anyone of the following might have been drooling venom: Janeane Garofalo, Bill Maher, Keith Olbemann, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow; the usual suspects. King, in his comparisons, has stuffed a diverse group of people into one neat package. I would say King is a racist or maybe just a cheap bigoted word merchant trying to make a deadline.

#9 Forgive me for dredging up old history, but the political base of the Klan was essentially Southern Democrats.

That is absolutely correct! Every time my former Leftist friend rolls out the: "Where are your Robes and Hood?" comments, I just lay that fact on him. Makes his head spin like a top...Exorcist style. Liberals hate the truth, especially when there is no counter for it. Well...except the racist accusation, but that doesn't carry any weight anymore.

#12 It was largely southern Democrats who passed the Jim Crow laws also. Senator Byrd, a Democrat was formerly a member of the Klan. The left compared Bush with Hitler too. They spew a lot of venom and hatred to achieve their ends. It is probably a case of projection on their part. The left keeps getting more left it seems. In my lifetime, I cannot recall the level of lies taking place in national politics as today. George Bush the elder did not get a second term because he said "Watch my lips; no new taxes." He proceeded to raise taxes and got dumped by the voters. BO is the master of spin, distortion, false promises and fabrications. Nancy Pelosi is no piker in this department either. Throw Harry Reid into that pot also. It seems like a large number of our population is willing to tolerate such behavior. We would not tolerate such behavior in our children or our friends. Truth is existential with this crowd.
