Of course the Ku Klux Klan was never on the side of liberals and progress. This goes without saying. There can’t possibly be anyone who disputes this basic notion, could there?

Of course there could. Of fucking course there could. Why do we even bother to assume a basic faith in the decency and intelligence of humanity?

Oh God, What The Fuck Happened Now?

The internet was abuzz all Wednesday with reports of an Epic™ confrontation between two CNN pundits on Super Tuesday: Van Jones (a Democrat) and Jeffrey Lord (a Bag of Assholes). After Lord insisted Donald Trump had disavowed the KKK “many, many, many, many times” and that Democrats were just trying to score political points by making a big deal out of Trump saying, “new phone, who dis?” when confronted by Jake Tapper, Lord and Jones got into it.

In particular, let’s focus our attention on one exchange at 2:15:

JONES: I know this man, when he gets passionate about terrorism, I know how he talks about terrorism, the Klan is a terrorist organization.

LORD: It’s a leftist terrorist organization.

NO. Nope. NEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWP. That statement is the wrongest wrong that has ever been wronged. That statement could not possibly be more Wrong with a capital “W” if it simultaneously blamed vaccines for autism, claimed the Holocaust didn’t happen, and sodomized a turkey. One day, they will build monuments to the wrongness of Jeffrey Lord’s five fantastically dumbshit words, except they won’t, because they will be too busy wondering who exactly the fuck is Jeffrey Lord?

Well, he is the guy who then said this:

JONES: You can put whatever label you want, that’s your game to play.

LORD: No, it’s important to history.

Oh, you didn’t. You fucking DID NOT.

1. Sometimes I wish they would just scream 'liar' over and over.

2. Liberal, no. Part of the democratic party (at that time), yes

What happened to Blacks at that time by the hands of the KKK and those in democratic party was beyond horrible and had a lasting effect that continues to this day.

Don't white wash history.

3. Strawman argument.

No one seriously thinks the KKK was or is liberal.

[MrWendel]

4. Except all...

his supporters.

[HooptieWagon]

5. Let's see your proof.

[DemocraticWing]

6. The Klan liked Democrats back when the Democrats were the conservative party.

Now they like the Republicans. Gee, I wonder what the common denominator is.
