The real history on civil rights and the Democratic Party

Obama just stated, as a uniter of his party:

“Our party has been on the front line of every civil rights movement, women’s rights movement, workers’ rights movement and other movements for justice in America.”

but QandO sets him--and anybody else who forgets that the GOP is the party of Lincoln--historically straight.

I vote for candidates from both parties (and contribute a lot more to the Dems because that's all the candidates I know personally in NYC), but let's try not to drink spiked kool aid.
