Olbermann Paints ‘Tea Klux Klan’ as Wanting to Bring Back Jim Crow Laws

On Tuesday’s Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann highlighted suggestions by former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo that there should be civics literacy testing for registered voters made by Tancredo at the weekend’s Tea Party convention, which Olbermann referred to as the “Tea Klux Klan,” and painted Tea Party activists as wanting to deny minorities the right to vote using the tactics of the Jim Crow South. As if Tancredo wanted to discriminate against African-American voters, Olbermann referred to “Tancredo harking back fondly to the electoral strategies once used to keep poor people – specifically, explicitly, black people – from voting.”

Psst! Hey! Olberdouche! It was the DEMOCRATS who prevented people from voting….NOT the Republicans. What a total moron. His selective memory of actual history is absolutely amazing!

But ya know what? I’m starting to think that yes, in order to register to vote, you SHOULD have some knowledge of the issues, the candidates, and the Constitution. Odds are, if people had been educated, Obama would NEVER have been elected, John McCain would NEVER have gotten the nomination, and there would be a whole different batch of folks sitting in Congress right now from those who are sucking the life out of this country.

It’s the Democrats who are obsessed with color. It’s the Democrats who prove, on a daily basis, their bigotry. Is it wrong to expect people to be informed? Heaven knows, our public educational system isn’t teaching future voters the facts. And I don’t believe it’s unreasonable to expect those who do vote, to actually be ELIGIBLE to vote, as in LEGAL CITIZENS!

Just a thought.
