On The Bright Side
by Pie Guevara
Regarding the treatment of Vice President elect Mike Pence by the audience and the smug, condescending lecture by the cast of the Broadway musical “Hamilton” last Friday night (November 18, 2016) —
We should look on the bright side. At least the theater manners of Democrats have improved since 1865.
PS Libby, that would be 1865 when democrat John Wilkes Booth shot republican Abraham Lincoln point blank as he watched a play in Ford’s theater. (Inserted by Jack)
Try to remember the facts:

Booth was not a “Democrat” as the term is used today. He was a Confederate, and a nut-bunny.
Why do you think this sort of blather is effective? Anybody with a rudimentary knowledge of the country’s history will just write you off for an ignoramus … so why do you keep doing it?
Now, just as a matter of general generalness, the final election count is, well, just say that about 1.6 million more people voted for Hils than for your guy. That’s not good. The “losers” don’t feel much like losers, and they are not likely to keep quiet … so ya’ll are just gonna have to toughen up. Especially, is that twitter-maniac you’ve saddled us with as a Commander in Chief going to have to get a grip on himself … unless he wants to spend that next four years … all of it … furiously twittering at his detractors … which … actually … might not be such a bad thing.
Anybody with a rudimentary knowledge of this nation’s election process will write off Libby’s obvious “final election count” error as typical loser left blather.
The “losers” lost in the only “count” that mattered, electoral votes.
The fact that the losers are childish is relevant only in that their behavior presages what we know will come. They will do as they always do, act like complete adolescent jerks for the next four years.
Trump may Tweet but it won’t stop him or his staff from working.
Speaking of messaging, I doubt that anyone will ever top democrat Anthony Weiner.
For what it’s worth, Wikipedia:
A good ol’ boy KKK (Democrat) in the making!
Know Nothing Party:
Pardon me but John Wilkes Booth was closely associated with “Copperheads,” a term used to describe Northern Democrats who favored slavery. To say he was not a Democrat but merely a Know-Nothing party member is to ignore the obvious despite his declared party affiliation.
While some Democrats argued that the Know Nothings could not protect slavery from Northern abolitionists, Booth used his theatrical touring circuit as a method of meeting with other Confederate agents, operatives and Southern sympathizers in the North, known as “Copperheads.” Copperheads = Democrats. Get it? The Booth family of Maryland were Copperheads. The Booth’s co-conspirators in the assassination were Copperheads.
Wikipedia is not the end all and be all. So no, I do not accept any “corrections” especially from an ignoramus like Lippy. Go ahead, split all the hairs you like, it doesn’t change the fact Booth was closely aligned to Democrats who were his co-conspirators, even if there is no evidence that he ever specifically declared himself to be a Democrat. Democrats and Know Nothing had the same aims and worked together.
I stand by my observation. It is valid.
“Democrats and Know Nothing had the same aims and worked together.”
Just like today!
You can stand on your head, if you like. It is an historical fact that that contingent of Democrats, those unreconstructed Confederates, aka racists, were successfully lured into the Republican Party during the 60s. They are yours now, or, should I say? … you, now.
The powers thought it was quite a coup, gaining all those easily manipulated white voters, but the crackers are no longer quite so biddable. I think the powers are re-thinking.
