The Media - George Stephanopoulos and the KKK
Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
Republicans have always been the party for civil rights, while the KKK was Democrat.
Somehow, our media has continued to distort those facts so that very few know the true facts...

Somehow, our media has continued to distort those facts so that very few know the true facts...
Michael Zak, in a book, and also in this post on his blog tries to publicize that truth:
"Now is the time to speak some Truth to Power. The Ku Klux Klan was established by the Democratic Party. Yes, the Ku Klux Klan murdered thousands of Republicans -- African-American and white -- in the years following the Civil War. Yes, the Republican Party and a Republican President, Ulysses Grant, destroyed the KKK with their Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.
Stephanopoulos was wrong to claim that the Klan changed from being Democrat 'very quickly.' How did the Ku Klux Klan re-emerge in the 20th century? For that, the Democratic Party is to blame."
