Hank Aaron Compares Republicans That Oppose Obama To KKK

Hank Aaron Compares Republicans That Oppose Obama To KKK « CBS Atlanta



This is a ridiculous statement to make and absolutely without basis in fact.



1.  Mr. Aaron, do you know that the only member of the KKK to be elected to the US Senate was a Democrat from West Virginia, Robert Byrd?

2.  Do you know that a greater percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrats?  In fact, Democrat Senator Byrd and other tried to filibuster that bill.

3.  We have a two party system where the parties are obviously opposed to one another.  The fact that Republicans oppose a Democrat president is no more offensive than the disdain the Democrats shared for George W. Bush.

4.  Opposition is healthy for the country, or we end up with single party rule.  Single party rule has no obstacles to what it can do.  Would you like to risk that with either party?

5.  What has the Democrat party done for you lately?  Poverty?  Jobs?  Schools?  Black on black crime?

6.  Name calling is the last resort of a person losing the argument.
