Let’s start over AGAIN.
I saw your comment as akin to the classic “liberals and left-wingers today are racist because Democrats were racist 100 years ago” nonsense. You still seem to be playing games like that with the word “progressive.” No, you cannot make a connection between modern “progressives,” which as I said is just another term for liberal these days, and the progressive of that era.
Stop laughing and Google “J. William Fulbright.” There has never been a more liberal OR a more racist US Senator.
P.S. If Fulbright isn’t enough, Google “Hugo Black.” He was BOTH one the most liberal Supreme Court justices ever AND a Klansman.
Was he a Klansman?
Yes, you’ve finally found one. Like many politicians of the era, Black joined the Klan for his political career and then later said it was a mistake.
But again, history cannot be projected onto modern times. Find a liberal Klansman today and I’ll be more impressed.
No no no no no… bouncing a check is a mistake. Joining the Klan is evil. Even MORE so if you joined for expediency.
Does anyone doubt that most of Louisiana’s Klansmen loved Huey Long, who sought the Presidency by running well to FDR’s left?
There are loads of people in MANY Western lands who love the goodies that Big Government and/or socialism provide, but who aren’t keen on bringing in foreigners to share those goodies.
Trust me- Marine LePen is not pledging to reduce taxes or shrink government.
Yes, left-wing and racist can coexist. That wasn’t the point.
Find me a “left-wing Klansman” TODAY and you’ll have a point that relates to the original discussion.
I never said it wasn’t evil.
