Moonbat Congresswoman: Tea Partiers are modern-day KKK members, plus we have two Vietnams living in peace

Quoth Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX):

All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing [applause], uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the Tea Party.

Oooo.  Pithy.  Cheeky.  Slam dunk.  There’s just one little problem: the Klan was, according to all historians, “the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party”.  Plus, a Klansman was elected for several decades as a beloved and revered Democrat Senator from WV (Robert Byrd was unavailable for comment).

This level of historical ignorance is not surprising, because she wasn’t finished beclowing herself today:

Oh. My. Stars.

First of all, Rip Van Winkle, due to your 35-year nap, you probably missed the part where there is no longer and North and South Vietnam.  It’s one country now.  Those crazy kids on the street refer to it as “Vietnam”.  They live “peacefully” as one country because the North invaded the South and took over it, after a barbaric and bloody invasion and subsequent imposition of communism.

Secondly, as Moe Lane points out, she apparently is confusing North Korea with South Korea.  While they are still two countries (though, as with Vietnam, in a north-south geographical arrangement), to describe these countries as living in harmony is appallingly ludicrous.  I mean, the NorKoms just sank a South Korean ship, for Pete’s sake!  Nothing says “I love you, man” quite like torpedoing their boat, n’est-ce pas?

Lee, Corrine Brown, Hank Johnson, and scores of others are examples of the levels of embarrassing ignorance that can make it to D.C. on the back of racial gerrymandering.
