Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, the black Republican nominee for Maryland's open Senate seat, disavowed the ad Thursday as "insulting to Marylanders". He said his campaign asked the Washington-based National Black Republican Association to stop running it.
At an event in Baltimore, Steele said, "I don't know exactly what the intent of the ad was" but that "it's not helpful to the public discourse."
If you want to see viscousness, witness liberal blacks attack conservative blacks, so turnabout may be part of the equation here, but I think it is undeniable that some of the biggest segregationists were southern Democrats, and I would not be surprised if many of them were important movers and shakers of the KKK in its heyday. Hey, even Senator Byrd has a history of some involvement in the KKK in his past, and he is still a vaunted spokesman and powerbroker of the Democratic Party.
You are obviously ignorant of reality and history, the dixiecrats left the democrat party with the nomination of H S Truman (who supported integration) and became true to themselves Republicans and or American Independent Party) and yes, of course, they were often members of the KKK just as their republican brethren. If you really want to see viscousness visit your county or state Republican party strategy meetings.
Before responding, yes I plead guilty to not checking my spelling; it is vicious, not viscous, I knew something did not look right, but concerning the subject here, dyslexia and others should read the following:

I couldn't agree more, and the Democrats shiver in their boots at the prospect that more and more blacks might just wake up to the fact at how they've been used and "kept on the plantation" by their beloved Democratic Party and their own race hustlers like Jesse Jackson and friends.
