On Tuesday, Coulter used Martins shooting to argue against gun control laws and said that every African American should arm themselves against the Democratic Ku Klux Klan.
We dont know the facts yet, but lets assume the conclusion MSNBC is leaping to is accurate: George Zimmerman stalked a small black child and murdered him in cold blood, just because he was black, Coulter wrote in a column titled Negroes with Guns.

Looks like they decided they no longer need their dog whistles and are bringing out the bullhorn instead. I don't think I have ever seen so much blatant racism in my lifetime as I am seeing right now, ever since the Trayvon Martin murder the racists have been getting much more vocal. People need to boycott FOX News advertisers for funding this hate.

(32,052 posts)Ann Coulter: professional troll who profits off writing books with offensive, divisive rhetoric and blatant fabrications and distortions. Also possibly a fraudulent voter registered outside her home state.
Enough of this outdated Democrats/KKK tie already. Apparently, conservatives get to use liberal race card rhetoric if doing so is politically convenient??

(12,041 posts)There was extreme racism within the Democratic Party especially in the south for many years, most blacks on the other hand supported Republicans. Obviously things have changed drastically since then and what changed it was the Civil Rights Act of 1964, once Johnson signed that bill into law the racists left the Democratic Party while black voters joined the party and both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party changed drastically.
Coulter and the other right-wingers who point to the pre 1964 Democratic Party know that all those KKK Democrats are Republicans now. I think it says a lot that the Republicans have
overwhelmingly won over the white racist vote but they know they can't even admit these people are on their side and instead they try to pin them on us based on on things that happened decades ago by a very different Democratic Party.

(3,585 posts)Until 1936 the black vote was overwhelmingly republican, and then all at once, it became overwhelmingly Democratic in 1936.
In 1932, Democrats won 23% of the black vote which was normal, and in 1936 a total and permanent switch was made with the Democrats suddenly winning 71% of the black vote, and it has been the same ever since.
