Pic 1: D'souza's cheap talking point has been blown up here and elsewhere so many times, you should be ashamed to indulge in it yourself. You know damned well where those Southern conservative Democrats went, and it happened quite a while ago.
Pic 2: I don't recall the Stars-and-Bars Clinton campaign signs. They would have offended me if I had known of them. I can't speak for Democrats. I'm not one and have no obligation to carry their water.
Pic 3: Um, no. New Yorkers have long known about his racial animus. It took him blundering onto the national stage to make it a widespread charge.

Yeah, I'm rather surprised that Neo would dump that D'souza canard in here.

As if I even was a liberal, lol
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Yes, I do. There were exactly three of them. WIKI
"Some southern Democrats became Republicans at the national level, while remaining with their old party in state and local politics throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Of the known Dixiecrats, only three switched parties becoming Republicans: Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms and Mills E. Godwin, Jr."
And it was Senator Byrd, the former Klansman, who remained in the Democratic party and continued to be praised throughout his career. WIKI again That is NOT ancient history. That is where today's Democratic party puts its allegiance.
Also from the first Wiki page...
"The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a significant event in converting the Deep South to the Republican Party; in that year most Senatorial Republicans supported the Act (most of the opposition came from Southern Democrats), but the Republican Party nominated for the Presidency Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, who had opposed it."
VIDEO of the HISTORY of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY
But, but, but...what about David Duke? Well, just scroll down through the list of Democrat politicians who were Klansman and you will find his entry"
"David Duke, a politician who ran in both Democrat and Republican presidential primaries, was openly involved in the leadership of the Ku Klux Klan.[29] He was founder and Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in the mid-1970s; he re-titled his position as "National Director" and said that the KKK needed to "get out of the cow pasture and into hotel meeting rooms". He left the organization in 1980. He ran for president in the 1988 Democratic presidential primaries. In 1989 Duke switched political parties from Democrat to Republican.[30] In 1989, he became a member of the Louisiana State Legislature from the 81st district, and was Republican Party chairman for St. Tammany Parish.[31]"
Seems more like an opportunist than representative of either party and yet Democrats keep bringing him up as recently a 2016. They own him just as much as the GOP - which is in both cases is not very much.
The history is clear. Democrats were the party of racism and the notion that all the Democrats became Republican is simply false.
Also, was D'Sousa wrong? Yes or No.

Yep. Democrats view a conservative black as an Uncle Tom or a house n*****.

That's what is called the genetic fallacy. Who the source is doesn't matter. What matters is if what they are saying is right or wrong.

Then it's a good thing that we're talking about the insinuation behind D'souza's talking point being wrong, isn't it you pedantic ass?

BTW I corrected the links. Why have you resorted to insults? You are more than welcome to debate the substance of the arguments.
