Interesting how the senate left out these facts in their apology.
What does Schumer stand for?

We would be justified in reasoning that one as oleaginous as Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., would be more about oiling the constipated wheels of government than contributing to their continued blockage.
Schumer is committed to blocking Social Security reform – he argues it would be too risky for Americans to have the same type of individual private Social Security savings accounts he has ... and thus control their own future.
He is committed to blocking school vouchers – something that would be of benefit to those he calls disenfranchised.
His support for the fabled homosexual family is well documented. His support for the cornerstone of civilization, i.e., the heterosexual family, is equally well documented by his opposition – he not only opposes parental notification of their child's abortion plans, but also measures making it harder for minors to cross state lines for an abortion. Here's guessing he could care less about knowing what his two daughters might do in such a situation (sarcasm Intended).
Yet despite all of the aforementioned, Schumer announced he was worried about the "hard, hard right" of the Republican Party, people whose goal is to "turn the clock back to the 1930s or the 1890s."
Schumer's comments are telling because today – exactly as in the 1890s – liberal anti-black Democrats still publicly humiliate upstanding black citizens. Just ask judicial nominee Janice Rogers-Brown. But I digress.
Worrisome to Schumer is the fact that in the 1890s blacks were Republicans. And Schumer can under no circumstances abide that happening today. Note the following:
The inhuman outrages perpetrated upon African Americans in the South were largely committed through the Democrats' Klu Klux Klan. It is indisputable historical fact that the Klu Klux Klan was started by the Democrats. In fact, during congressional hearings on the subject, one prominent Democrat testified that the Klu Klux Klan "belongs to ... our party – the Democrat Party."
And the first grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan was prominent Democrat Nathan Bedford Forest ... According to African American U.S. Representative John Roy Lynch, "More colored than white men are thus persecuted simply because they constitute in larger numbers the opposition to the Democratic Party."
U.S. Representative Richard Cain of South Carolina, a bishop in the AME denomination, agreed, declaring: "The bad blood of the South comes because the Negroes are Republicans. If they would only cease to be Republicans and vote the straight-out Democratic ticket there would be no trouble. Then the bad blood would sink entirely out of sight."
– "Democrats and Republicans: In Their Own Words," page 14
Ever wonder why Schumer and his fellow Democrats never once speak ill of Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond or Al Sharpton, but eviscerate nominee Janice Rogers-Brown and Justice Clarence Thomas? Schumer's fears are based upon the realization that the more blacks and women who ascend to positions of power as Republicans, the sooner the return to that period of time when these voted overwhelmingly Republican.
In 1896, the Republican platform stated:
We proclaim our unqualified condemnation of the uncivilized and preposterous practice well known as lynching, and the killing of human beings suspected or charged with crime without process of law.
– "Democrats and Republicans: In Their Own Words," page 15
It is of note that the Democrat platform contained no such language.
Even stronger affirmation of racial equality and the civil rights of blacks were specifically acknowledged in the Republican platforms of 1932 and 1936. Consistent to their origins, the Democrat platforms of the same years contained no mention racial equality or civil rights.
Schumer's fears of returning to the 1930s are simple to explain:
In the 1932 election Republican President Herbert Hoover received more than three-fourths of the black vote over his Democratic challenger Franklin D. Roosevelt.
– "Democrats and Republicans: In Their Own Words," page 19
Schumer's motivations are transparent. Democrat obstruction in the Senate is because they are only interested in an America they control – and their only hope for such control is through the votes of blacks. This is why Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., called nominee Janice Rogers-Brown a Neanderthal. This is why liberal Democrats laughed and encouraged the vicious ad hominem attacks on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Their racism is transparent. They were against the late uber liberal Thurgood Marshall's appointment to the high court. They filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act. They opposed the appointment of Clarence Thomas to the high court. They opposed Dr. Rice, Rod Paige, Miguel Estrada, Janice Rogers-Brown and Alberto Gonzales, and, less we forget, Democrats killed every single anti-lynching bill introduced in Congress.
To be certain Schumer is able to offer up flaccid excuses for their actions, especially when it comes to opposing both liberal and conservative high court nominees who happen to be black. I can appreciate Chuckie's fear of the past, but in the present in which we reside – besides racism and abortion – just what do these people stand for?
