Republican Traditional Values

[sybo59]

Historically, Democrats have been the biggest opponents to civil rights, while Republicans were almost unanimously for equality. Most of the blacks in the '60s were Republicans as well. I'm no Republican, but your re-writing of history would make Orwell blush.

[motelcalifornia]

That's the problem with politics. You often find yourself voting for something that should have been flushed down the toilet. Never forget to flush

[motelcalifornia]

America should be concerned about Gladys Gill. That chick is out of her mind. She talks as if Civil Rights legislation was passed last week.

[motelcalifornia]

No offense to the author, I get the video. The GOP has translated itself from a Yankee Boy Club House to a Good Ole Thang from the Souff''

[motelcalifornia]

I knew you BUBBAS took over the GOP. It's alright. You can keep it. Too many old farts anyway. In fact, it was probably a mistake. Within 10 years, you don't even who will lead that party.

[navamerican]

Abraham Lincoln with fighting The Conservative Confederates and freeing the slaves proved he was a Moderate, not a Con servative. Even Stevie Wonder can see that. The GOP was taken over by Greedy Cons later on. Betraying Honest Abe. Who killed Lincoln? A Conservative Confederate like you. Thank you, guys.

[ssup26]

Liberals are mentally ill. They are intolerant, hypocritical, arrogant, ignorant, and fascist. One 5-second viewing of Rachel Maddow is all it takes to understand where they are coming from. If she isn't demonic, the world is flat.

[MickMan211]

@ssup26 Rachel Maddow is much more intelligent, articulate, and sensible than anyone on Fox News

[bunnybooties]

Republican traditional values are lying cheating stealing and killing along with hypocrisy,adultery,and drug use all in the name of their GOD-Satan.:D

[MarvelSpiderMan22]

the Democrats are the ones who supported slavery, and the Confederacy. Abraham Lincoln founded the Republican party in 1861. He was the most unracist man in all of existence. you are the biggest dumbass I've ever met

[KillaKlown2007]

What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you show pictures of a bunch racists killings? I guess to get your point across, correct. That racism is still in america? Well duh!!! Thanks for letting us know, because people really needed to see that so we can all be more aware,right?

[gummybearSar]

considering nazi's killed homosexuals i doubt that and ur statement sounds some what homophobic which id hope ur not because then your just as bad arent you? still ignorant still prejudice

[xxxAtogxxx]

Republicans are closet gays, nazis and hypocrits.

[subbtopp]

why do republicans hate gay marriage they certainly dont hate gay prostitutes

[m929s]

Without a doubt, I'm sure that you are white, poor, and live in a tralier park.

[winasteussy]

good in the sense of hard-hitting, I mean. There is incredibly difficult material in it...

[winasteussy]

love this video, just can't watch it often enough...it's so good

[phoenixdurango]

I guess you forget that it was DEMOCRATS who hoisted Confederate Flags up on State Capitals.

[esparza3]

June 2007 hasn't happened yet.

[immrlizard]

To be fair, all republicans aren't bigots but all bigots are republicans if they are intelligent enough to vote. The only way that a republican is going to get elected in 08 to the whitehouse is if they use the same method that they did in 00. They won't get florida this time that way.

[Nova5202]

Actually many of them that I've known tend to stay away from both parties because they are paranoid. Of course when I think of traditional values that means the freedoms we have and small government.

[mastiff111]

Democrats aren't bigots? Let me introduce you to Al Sharpton, Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson and Senator Robert "KKK" Byrd (DEMOCRAT - WV). Could we please for once stop the my side is righteous and the other side is wrong, evil, etc.

[vinnyflintoff]

I'm an Asian-American and a proud Republican. This video took some hillybillies from nowhere potrayed like this is the republican party. The fact is that Liberals cannot fathom the fact that there is an ideology called conservatism, and they are the opposite of liberals. You can spread propoganda like this all day if you want to. But come Nov 08, we'll win the election

[Childrenscneterh]

Sorry but Bush blew it for ur side.

[infinitstars]

You seriously think that you will win after the GIGANTIC damage you greed hate mongers have caused in the past 8 years? If thats so, then there is no hope for this once great nation.

[Childrenscneterh]

Independent researchers all agree Obama's plans will be much better for america than McCain's.

[infinitstars]

Wow you are as rare as a Nazi/Jew!!

[vinnyflintoff]

Type Michelle Malkin. the Fact is you can't get over your political bias. tht's your problem. If i'm a rare nazi/jew, What are you a terrorist loving pinko commie liberal.

[infinitstars]

You obviously missed my point. An Asian that is a conservative is idiotic, if you don't think so look at anglo/asian relations now and in the past in this country and how the conjobs perpetuate this rift. They are about as fucked up as Nazi/Jew relations, this makes you rare, to support your the very mindset that fucks you.

[grannie4peace]

asians get many tax breaks from the u s government

[donnamateo]

Too many stank,pig-faced, trailer park queens like this one in America. Who would want to live in your trailer after you, dear?

[msignor]

Those were some messed up pictures right there.

[canolorenzo]

great work. i look forward to more videos.

[ModernBlend]

Bravo. Nice work.

[whoever330]

Adolf Hitler lebt in unsere Herzen.

[rz33yahoo]

Lynchings occurred during the Great Depression and in the industrial North, and the disproportionately fewer in number that did happened in the South are the only ones ever mentioned by the dominate media forces. ...who controlled the record-keeping processes? ...who controlled the media...the banks...the police...the law...the entirety of the federal gov? The same folks who won the Civil War.

[rz33yahoo]

Yeah...you honor the tradition family values of SHerman and his murderous, treasonous Lincoln-worshipping radicals. The Civil War was a military coup by New England industrialist agianst the legitimate Jeffersonian government. Period.

[rz33yahoo]

...and who controlled the record-keeping processes? ...who controlled the media...the banks...the police...the law...the entirety of the federal gov? The same folks who won the Civil War. Its all a propaganda machine operating via newspeak with the aim of economic expoitation of the red states. Why do you believe everything that is spoon-fed you with regard to American culture??

[rz33yahoo]

patriotboy...source on lynching statistics?

[rz33yahoo]

Most lynchings occured in and around the larg industrial centers...the places where job competition among blacks and whites reached its peak. And it happened during the late 1920's in places like NYC and Chicago...not the '50's or in the agricultural South. The 20's mark the era of lynchings...the 50's and 60's mark the era of extremist judicial activism and also the violent domestic terror campaign of The Weather Underground.

[patriotboy1]

Georgia has the highest number of recorded lynchings. Alabama is second. Most occured during the first half of the century.

The extreme judicial activism you're talking about is Brown v. The Board and other rulings on segregation.

Yeah, you honor traditional Republican values.

[beervolcano]

At the time these weren't the values of any particular political party. People who called themselves both Republican and Democratic took part in these types of activities.

[darost]

Actually, Strom Thurmond and the Dixiecrats abandoned the Democratic Party in 1948 because Harry Truman insisted upon including integration and other civil rights in the Democratic Party Platform. One could make a point that radical reconstructionists have been running things for a few years.

[infinitstars]

I think that it really doesnt matter if they are Democrats OR Republicans. Its the CONSERVATIVE mindset that did these atrocious things. The very definition of the word tells all. They would love to conserve slavery, conserve, segregation, conserve masogeny, conserve no labor laws, conserve anything that keeps people bent over a barrel. Cheap-Labor conservatives suck.

[jdpainter]

Well, I may agree with you...but my point is that the title of the video is "Republican Traditional Values". Showing a bunch of Democrats in a video trying to show "republican" values is a bit hypocritical.

[jdpainter]

Would someone please explain to me what this has to do with Republicans? I'm an independent and in NO way a fan of Bush, but what do lynchings have to do with Republicans? Seriously. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. The Southern segregationists were Democrats (this is why they're called Dixiecrats).

[mrsalansmithee]

Those Dems turned Republican though which is part of why the Republican party is now the racist party. And you don't think there's still violence against blacks? What about those 2 guys who were tied to and dragged from the back of the car?

[winasteussy]

And I'm certainly not the only one who had a hard time watching?

[winasteussy]

for such an artistic and powerful video, you've sure got a lot of inane comments. Like I'm the only one who's going to comment on those mind-bending historical photos at the end? The choice of music=superlative...

[maxime32]

I'm a socialist, but I think this little video makes your 'red states' film look ridiculous. It's fine that you don't like a woman implying she favours race segregation, but what do you think red-staters feel when they visit SF, for example, and hear people talking openly about gay sex?

[patriotboy1]

Maxime32 -- Are you seriously comparing talk about gay sex with talk about bringing back Jim Crow? Do you really believe it's simply a matter of taste?

[maxime32]

The gay sex talk is open and public, any segregation talk is only implied. The former is certainly more shocking to most people (including most black men). If red state to blue staters = reactionary redneck, then blue state to red staters = abnormality (and there is nothing progressive about that).

[singularization]

What a ridiculous comparison. first of all, SF is a BIG City and I don't think the population runs around around the city talking openly about 'gay sex' anymore than everyone is running around Atlanta and LA talking openly about straight sex...but, if you go to SF, you will experience 'gay people', a shocking revelation..

[mrsalansmithee]

Yes, but there's nothing wrong with gay sex, something which is done in private and hurts no one. There *is* something wrong with being a bigot and denying someone their civil rights.

[maxime32]

But the issue here is someone's private opinions, rather carefully worded and emitted in personal conversation. The last time I was on an airplane, on the other hand, there was a homosexual speaking in an incredibly loud voice on his cell phone about how 'hot' this or that guy is, etc., etc. This is far more shocking behaviour than someone's rather harmless inner beliefs that are the product of her childhood.

[beervolcano]

I'm sorry, but are you mentally retarded or something?

[maxime32]

Right, only mentally retarded people are shocked by explicit and loud homosexual banter. The average IQ in the world is 38.

[Jen4957]

They are all freaking crazy!

[maltedm]

Ironic that "macaca" (deriving from macacque monkey) has a FRENCH origin...as much as the american right hates France (for not sucking their dick like Britain) they dont hate them quite as much as they hate the africans they were happy to use as slaves...what a proud nation.

[ctCUbUDS97]

Sen. Allen claimed that he made up "macaca" on the spot, but his mother is/was from French Tunisia, where macaca is a well-known racial epithet. Sen. Allen: a racist AND a liar, too?

[maltedm]

politicians lying?...whatever next.

[ffakr]

In the 50's, it was the Dixie-Crats who were lynching people more than republicans. Republicans were still the party of Lincoln back then. It was the 50s-60s when the parties started to and completed the flip. By the late 60s the Repubican's had their "southern strategy" in place to use racial divides to bolster their power.

[JoeTheDudeRanch]

I agree that republicans are evil, but that's a really, really poorly edited video. And fix the dates.

[townamerica]

I second that.

[Meatzilla007]

Any of you turds notice the date on the "noose" quote, June 2007? I guess we were all abducted by aliens and we're all missing a year of our life. Lemmings. The lynchings were a sad time, but what makes you thinks it was just "Republicans". in that day and time? DEMOCRATS were the MASSIVE MAJORITY in this country. You fools, it's more likely Democrats lynched black folk than Republicans. Okay bedwetters, see you in Nov 2008!

[erisian23]

The video is a lie including the correct noose information because of a typo in a date? Who's the lemming?

>> You fools, it's more likely Democrats lynched black folk than Republicans.

Link to research or that's BS you just invented because you're unhappy about the video.

Most Republicans are not racists. The real question is: "Why don't FAR more Republicans openly revile and disavow the many racists who self-identify as Republicans?" Ignoring the problem is tacitly condoning it.

[erik28com]

I noticed and it was obviously a mistake. Senator Allen actually admits this. But cause they put the wrong year up there on something that did in fact happen...it makes all the FACTUAL information in the piece wrong I guess and makes Republicans not racists. Must be so wonderful to have such easy standards for dismissing truths you don't like.

[erik28com]

Oh and by the way stop deflecting things by pointing out 40 years ago dems were racist. After the civil rights legislation many of those dems became republicans...and that's where we are TODAY. Which you know is kind of the point in the video.

[ctCUbUDS97]

Oh relax. So there's a typo. The story is real; I remember it. And don't obscure the truth by playing with labels. Racist (mostly southern) Democrats jumped to the Republican party as the Democratic Party embraced civil rights, integration, and the elimination of poverty. Today's Republican Party is (in part) the legacy of those racists. But you already knew that. You wrote disengenuously, and now your future statements must be viewed with suspicion and distrust.

[mrsalansmithee]

You left out (surprise) part of the story. Those Dems turned Republican which is part of why the Republican party is now the racist party. The parties evolved over time. You do know about evolution don't you?

[wrigleyfieldwest]

Canada is looking better and better as a choice to live....sigh

[gummybear100]

Canada rules it is better!

[1knightrider]

Then move to Canada and get out of the U.S.

[gummybear100]

I already live in Canada chump the beer is awesome and the pot is even better.

[1knightrider]

Good.... so one less A--hole to worry about.

[gummybear100]

Ouch that really hurt.A tear

[lakes6]

Bush = miserable old man.

[batguano]

The scary thing is that there are some who would see this same clip and be even more motivated to vote for Burns and Allen (for all you oldies out there, not talking about George and Gracie). It's basic Republican strategy to get the nutjobs and racists to vote for them, while trying not to scare away the more "moderate" Republicans.

[progjohn]

I guess that these folks miss the fact that we are in 2006, not 1956.

[brillig]

Republicans = Racist, Fact! These are the people who run this country. Ya, got to love the great USA, NOT!

[1knightrider]

Republicans do not equal Racist, there are as many Democrats as well as Republicans that are racist. And there are also Republicans and Democrats who are not racist. You should not make such a broad statment because of what party they belong to.

[negatifzeo]

So are you saying that if we take 100 dems and 100 repubs the number of racists will be equal for each party? I don't think you're looking at the world realistically.

[1knightrider]

Like I said earlier one should not make broad assumstions just because one is a Republican does not make them a Racist. Democrats can also be a Racist. So YOU are not looking at the world realistically.

[negatifzeo]

My point is not that there are no racist democrats. There surely are. But there are more racist republicans.

[1knightrider]

You should read this before you say Republicans are more racist. wikipedia.org-radical republicans

[1knightrider]

Read also this about Democrats dead and still living

on this en.wikipedia.org-Dixiecrat. And again tell me who is more racist.

[gcoupeturbo]

The labels applied to politcal parties' meanings have changed quite a bit over the years, and especially recently. The Republicans who control the country now are anything but "Lincoln Republicans". The very wikipedia article you suggest I read states that the "dixiecratic" south is now the republican south.

[politicalguru]

I was on the DNC and the RNC (Repub. Nation. Comm.) after 9/11. Trust me, they are equally racist. Democrats just hide it from the public better as they realize minority voters may be their advantage.

[infinitstars]

How many freakin times must I say it!?! Its not about parties its about conservatives. Conservatives=rascist bigots.

[1knightrider]

Being a Conserative does not equal racist, there has been manny Democrats that are racist but are quickly forgiven if they misspoke. But should a Conserative say the same thing they want to hang him. Such as Jim Biden's "OOPS" remark about Obama, compared with Dick Armey "slur" remarks about gay Democratic congressman.

[tkstka]

that is true rebublicans... fucking bigs!

[ninesquared]

Nice shoulder pads on Gladys. She could play on George Allen's football team, the Washington Establishment Crackers.
