OT Help me identify the myths about the Reconstruction Era

How about this: I will show the same respect for their point of view and what they care about as they show for mine. How would that look, I wonder?

Ask Heather Heyer's parents.

You are insinuating more than a few things...if you, and I am certain, more than a few others get what I mean. Let it go.

If, I were a moderator--which I do not wish to be....You would be in the penalty box.

I don't recognize your authority over me. I clearly said the Klan wants him to believe it through their disinformation campaign, not that he was in the Klan. If you can't understand simple English that's not my problem.

I don't recognize your authority over me.

Your arrogance, is what you do not seem to recognize.

Ask me if I give a Fe-uck you arrogant ass-hole.

In addition: You might get this, but possibly not. The Bold is Mine.

"Mr. President," she began, "I would like to speak briefly and simply about a serious national condition.... The United States Senate has long enjoyed worldwide respect as the greatest deliberative body.... But recently that deliberative character has...been debased to...a forum of hate and character assassination." In her 15-minute address, delivered as McCarthy looked on, Smith endorsed every American’s right to criticize, to protest, and to hold unpopular beliefs. “Freedom of speech is not what it used to be in America,” she complained. “It has been so abused by some that it is not exercised by others.” She asked her fellow Republicans not to ride to political victory on the “Four Horsemen of Calumny–Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.” As she concluded, Smith introduced a statement signed by herself and six other Republican senators–her “Declaration of Conscience."


Her speech triggered a public explosion of support and criticism. “This cool breeze of honesty from Maine can blow the whole miasma out of the nation’s soul,” commented the Hartford Courant. “By one act of political courage, [Smith has] justified a lifetime in politics,” commented another. Newsweek magazine ran a cover story entitled “Senator Smith: A Woman Vice President?” Critics called her “Moscow-loving,” and much worse. McCarthy dismissed her and her supporters as “Snow White and the Six Dwarfs.”


Smith’s Declaration of Conscience did not end McCarthy’s reign of power, but she was one of the first senators to take such a stand. She continued to oppose him, at great personal cost, for the next four years. Finally, in December of 1954, the Senate belatedly concurred with the “lady from Maine” and censured McCarthy for conduct “contrary to senatorial traditions.” McCarthy’s career was over. Margaret Chase Smith’s career was just beginning.
