Which party dug in it heels on slavery, civil rights? Murdock wonders if Harry Reid flunked American history . . .
Harry Reid: Racial Bomb Thrower EXCERPT: �Six of the nine original planks of the Republican party at its inception in 1856 were based on opposition to slavery and promoting civil rights,� Massie recalls. �Did Reid also forget what party Lyndon Johnson worked with to get the Civil Rights Act of 1964 not only passed but even to get it through committee and onto the floor for a vote? A key Democratic opponent � Sen. Robert Byrd (D., W.Va.), a former Klansman � still serves today and is third in the presidential line of succession as the Senate�s president pro tem. Reid�s daring to brand opponents as racist indicates how far liberals will go to control Americans from the cradle to the grave.�
