The People v. the Democratic Party

by Michael Walsh

Since the day Aaron Burr, the sitting vice president of the United States, shot and killed Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers, the Democratic Party has been at war with America. With a history that includes murder, treason, slavery, segregation, sedition, bribery, and systemic vote theft, it can argued that the Democrats are, at root, the anti-American party.In this incendiary Broadside – a heartfelt j’accuse – Michael Walsh traces the illicit and immoral history of the Democrats from Burr and the founding of the quintessential big-city political machine, Tammany Hall, to the “by any means necessary,” Saul Alinsky-inspired presidency of Barack Obama and his Windy City cronies. The prosecutorial The Democrats, in essence, are nothing less than a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.

Hard hitting truth bombs from start to finish.

[Miles Smith · Rating 1 out of 5]

These broadsides can be profound but this one just didnt land.

[Royce Ratterman · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great partial overview of the history of the Democratic party, including a prominent 'forefather' Vice-President Aaron Burr Jr. (member of the New York Democratic Society).
Not a lot of information for those who have already done extensive research into the party's history, Chicago gangs/mob and politics, slavery & its forced continence, etc., but a 'light' read nonetheless.
Read for personal research.
Overall, a good book for the researcher and enthusiast.
I found this book's contents helpful and inspiring - number rating relates to the book's contribution to my needs.

I should have paid more attention when I bought this. I was hoping for a book telling about the horrible heritage of the Democratic Party. This was barely a pamphlet which I didn’t know existed anymore.

A great case brought against the Democratic party. Though Republicans are not blameless either.
