Little Green Democrats

A number of people are using the picture below to support the idea that a vocal protest is comprised of regressive idiots with signs. The example I show is from Charles Johnson's Little Green Footballs website. Charles was one of the first conservative sites I ran into and started reading after the terrorist attack of 9/11 caused me to ask some very honest questions. Charles had a very famous change of heart/Dementia onset and is now raking in the big bucks as a high-profile progressive blogger. The photo in question:

Rewriting History & The Hypocrisy Of The Left
Certain leftwimp blogs and twits are going scooters trying to paint the Tea Party movement and the G.O.P. in particular with the foul stain of racism. The photo below began circulating last year, generally with the sentiment that it�s a photo of the Tea Partiers from not-so-long ago.

There�s one pesky little problem with their attacks.

ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE PROTESTING WERE DEMOCRATS.

The photo was taken 20 August 1959 in front of the Little Rock State Capital Building. The protesters were opposed to racial integration, and were marching in support of Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus� segregationist platform. Faubus was the one who called on the Arkansas National Guard in 1957 to prevent integration. Faubus was an indoctrinated communist who couldn�t get elected unless he ran as a Democrat.

Charles was a big one for fact checking back when he ran a good blog. Now? Meh... Posted by DaveH at April 7, 2010 8:41 PM
