Leftist heads are exploding all over that Joe Lieberman dare say he would oppose a “public option” (aka the fast road to nationalized medicine), but an amazing thing happens [start at 4:10] when smirking Maddow brings Jane Hamsher on her show.
Maddow: Let me ask you about the statistic I attributed to you in my intro there – I know you have been doing some digging on this issue – of a Democrat joining a Republican filibuster. How, how unprecedented would a move like this be for Senator Lieberman?Hamsher: Well, we have seen a number of the other party cross overs…well we remember the Dixiecrats joining the Republicans in the sixties on civil rights filibusters …
Does Maddow stop Hamsher? Does she correct her? Not at all. Maddow lets that pernicious mendacity stand as if it were a historical fact.
Not that Democrats haven’t constantly attempted to rewrite their sorry political history:
In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes.Kennedy and LBJ understood that a bipartisan coalition of Republicans and Northern Democrats was the key to the bill’s final success.
Remember that the Republicans were the minority party at the time. Nonetheless, H.R.7152 passed the House on Feb. 10, 1964. Of the 420 members who voted, 290 supported the civil rights bill and 130 opposed it.
Republicans favored the bill 138 to 34; Democrats supported it 152-96. Republicans supported it in higher proportions than Democrats. Even though those Democrats were Southern segregationists, without Republicans the bill would have failed. Republicans were the other much-needed leg of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. [...]
[Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen] was the master key to victory for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Without him and the Republican vote, theAct would have been dead in the water for years to come. LBJ and Humphrey knew that without Dirksen the Civil Rights Act was going nowhere.
Dirksen became a tireless supporter, suffering bouts of ill health because of his efforts in behalf of crafting and passing the Civil Rights Act. [...]
After the civil rights bill was passed, Dirksen was asked why he had done it. What could possibly be in it for him given the fact that the African-Americans in his own state had not voted for him? Why should he champion a bill that would be in their interest? Why should he offer himself as a crusader in this cause?
Dirksen’s reply speaks well for the man, for Republicans and for conservatives like him: “I am involved in mankind, and whatever the skin, we are all included in mankind.”
The irony of Jane Hamsher daring to attempt to rewrite the history of the Civil Rights movement when she has no problem with blackface — which she did to Joe Lieberman, of all people!

Um, filibusters take place in the Senate, not the House.
“Many Republicans, including the “swing” senators, joined the southerners in their concern about the impact of fair employment provisions on business, particularly small businesses. Even in states with no racial problem, the prospect of making employers comply with the law seemed to many Republican to be an unwarranted expansion of federal power. ”

Here is a quote from the link provided by Snowcone:
“Senator Richard Russell, Democrat from Georgia, led the so-called opposition forces. The group was also known as the “southern bloc.” It was composed of eighteen southern Democrats and one Republican, John Tower of Texas.”
“The Republican Party was not so badly split as the Democrats by the civil rights issue. Only one Republican senator participated in the filibuster against the bill.”

He didn’t read what he linked. He was just so excited that he knew the irrelevant factoid that filibusters occur in the senate that he had to get it out there. The boy knows so little anything that when he remembers something from grade school civics he gets all happy in his pants. He read a book about Vietnam once too!

” …it wasn’t the GOP that opposed the Emancipation Proclamation. Nor was it the GOP that opposed the Thirteenth Amendment prohibiting slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteeing equal protection, or the Fifteenth Amendment guaranteeing voting rights. (In fact, Republicans voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act in greater percentages than did Democrats.)
Moreover, it wasn’t the Republican party that opposed Teddy Roosevelt’s anti-lynching legislation or that filibustered or otherwise opposed more than a dozen other anti-lynching provisions during the 20th century.
Republicans didn’t institutionalize Jim Crow, implement school segregation, or establish poll taxes and literacy tests to keep non-whites from voting. Bull Connor, George Wallace, Lester Maddox, and Orval Faubus weren’t Republicans.
It wasn’t a Republican who ordered the internment of Japanese-American citizens (or Italians or Germans) during World War II. Nor were Republicans behind the Chinese exclusion acts or licensing requirements that discriminated against non-white businesses and tradesmen.”

Comment by No one you know on 10/28 @ 6:59 am #
and about the filibuster blocking legislation. As has been pointed out ad nauseum, the Dems need NOT ONE VOTE in the Senate to pass anything. You want “bi-partisan” (hey work with me here) support for a bill, there’s enough weak sisters on the Repub side to make that happen. How big is the Dem majority in the House? Fact is, the Dems really, really could change the what this country looks like if they had the marbles to do it upfront. Instead they are happy enough with giving the President and his czars regulatory power as long as they can raid the treasury. And please don’t get me wrong. This is an indictment of 85 – 90% of the Repubs that are sitting in Congress currently as well. They abdicated their responsibilities easily enough in exchange for the opportunity to put their collective noses in the trough

Snowy, I just read the full text, and it doesn’t support your accusation against Darleen. There’s a lot in there about Dirksen working tirelessly to find a compromise with his moderate Republican colleagues that would protect civil rights without unduly expanding Federal power over the states. Given that the legislation was using Federal power to guarantee liberty to some at the expense of others, this strikes me as a proper topic for careful debate. As we all know, power granted to Washington for one purpose, however noble, will always be corrupted and used to ignoble ends.
Why do you insist on twisting the historical record to suit your shallow arguments? It seems counterproductive, especially when the topic at hand is how leftists are prone to twist the historical record to suit their shallow arguments. You’re just reinforcing the stereotype here, old boy.

It’s amazing how little the Democrats know about their own racist history. The 1964 Civil Rights Act was written in Sen. Dirkson’s office. Johnson relied on the Republicans to get it passed because he well understood the vicious racism undergirding the Democrat party. The Democrats make so much of the Southern Strategy all the while forgetting that they founded the Ku Klux Klan (aka the terrorist wing of the Democrat party). Furthermore, they opposed the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the constitution and every piece of Civil Rights legislation up until 1968. Jim Crow, the Black Codes, and segregation were Democrat creations. Democrats need to face up to the truth, that deep down inside every white Democrat beats the black heart of a Klucker.

Thanks, Darlene. That was beautiful.
One thing you missed: her charts showed that the stocks she pointed out were tanking had stopped their slides and had regained ALL of their opening value BEFORE the little Lieberman arrow. A grammar school kid would have been pointing to the chart, saying, “But, but, but…” There she was, sitting on TV, her “evidence” clearly showing her to be a liar, a lunatic, or an idiot. And then she proceeds to introduce another avatar of smug complacency who also proceeds to get the record exactly backwards. Ross Barnett, Lester Maddox, and George Wallace were all Democrats. The Democrats were the party supporting segregation in the 1960’s and they were the party supporting slavery in the 1860’s. What they’re supporting now is just another kind of slavery, only it won’t be called Jim Crow, but Joe Taxpayer.
