#1 True Soviet style memory hole at work.

Anyone mention Bull Connor was a Donk as well?

#2 I wonder if Martin Luther King would have anything to do with these people?

#3 Two conveniently forgotten facts:

One: ALL of the leadership in Alabama at the time of Selma was Democratic.

Two: The vast majority of Americans at that time were outraged at what they saw and supported the civil rights movement.

I doubt if MLK would even shake hands with either Cummings, Holder, or youknowwho.

#4 A third conveniently forgotten fact:

A Federal District Judge name Frank Johnson, a republican appointed by republican President Dwight Eisenhower, had issued a temporary restraining order forbidding the march until a hearing on the State suit could be convened. Marchers defied the restraining order. Had the marchers complied with Johnson's restraining order, there was little doubt they could have soon marched in peace.

Judge Johnson was from Winston County, Alabama. Winston county was a republican, anti-slave enclave during the civil war. Johnson was wounded twice in combat in WWII.

#6 The NYT still has Walter Duranty's Pulitzer Prize on display; he was Stalin's apologist.
Evidently they still have Duranty's photo editor around, too.

#7 Doesn't fit the radical left's narrative of history.

#8 SteveS: Bush's hiring policies seemed to reflect King's dream. The hirees' skin color was immaterial, but their character (and competence as well) were vital.

#11 The left is following the procedures that their heroes, Stalin, Mao, perfected.

#12 The following quote from a NYT photog comes from a "Politico" article:

"“Just so you know, President Bush was not cropped out, he was not in that frame because he was so far to our right,” photographer Doug Mills wrote in an email to POLITICO."

But to be fair Trotsky (ahem, and I should know)was to the right of the Times.......

#14 From an artistic point of view, there is justification for the tighter crop; it does make for a better photo and you can more easily see the individual Selma marchers around the president. Had the NYT gone with that, they'd have been believable.

#15 ah yes but Yezov was to the right of Stalin...
