On This Day in History: January 15, 1870

In a satirical depiction of the Democrats' postmortem vilification of Edwin M. Stanton, a political cartoon by Thomas Nast published in Harper's Weekly ("A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion") used a donkey to portray the Democratic Party for the first time.

The symbolism stuck, and suffice it to say, the majority of those affiliated with these Leftists have acted as a bunch of asses for the past 140 years.
