Bull****. Byrd made that statement about the Klan being needed more
than ever before in a letter he wrote in 1946. You weren't even born
then. Maybe your parents weren't even born then.

I wasn't born when the Nazis were murdering Jews either. So what's your
point? Transgressions don't count unless they happened in the last 33
years?

We know for a fact Condi Rice wasn't born then. How ridiculous to
state, or even imply, that his opinion of 59 years ago is driving his
actions today. How false to state or imply that such a statement
reflects his feelings toward a specific individual.

Leopards don't change their spots, Chuck. If the guy let the N-word
accidently slip 59 years ago, that'd be one thing. But he was a leader in
one of the most hateful of the hate groups in our nation's history. How
many peoples' blood is on Byrd's hands thanks to the hateful talk coming
from their Grand Kleagle?

Here's an apt analogy: Has anybody forgiven the Nazis who went into hiding
after WWII? Nope. Then why are Klan members (particularly Klan *leaders*)
absolved of *their* sins?

It's a ****ed up political party that openly accepts former KKK leaders into
their ranks.


As I said, it's the race card in reverse.

I know that you said it. You just haven't demonstrated how it's "the race
card in reverse". Rice is black. Byrd was a leader in the KKK when he
called black people mongrels. Just becaue he hasn't donned a hood in 40
years, doesn't mean he no longer harbors those feelings.

BTW--how many years ago did Byrd publicly use the word "******" again? I'm
pretty sure that it was in the last decade or so.


What's the dumbest, most shameful thing you ever said?

I think that I once called you intelligent. So you're right...I'm
embarassed.

Really? People can't change? You need to get your blinders off and look
around you.

I wasn't aware that Byrd was a leopard, or that the characteristics of
his personal, physical appearance were the issue. His statements in
1946 were reprehensible.
That doesn't mean that he was frozen in time and didn't evolve, along
with the rest of society, to a more tolerant attitude and a positive
appreciation of the differences between various groups of people. In
1946, a probable majority of white southerners empathized, if not
actively agreed, with Byrd's opinion. Look at the guy that's just now
up on trial for killing the civil rights activists down south in the
early 60's--- an entire community conspired to hide and protect him for
40 years.

You threw that old quote in here without a disclosure that it was 59
years out of date, and with a hope that some simpleton would conclude
it was something Byrd actually said about Rice.

Just like the Democratic party continues to protect Byrd for 59 years, eh?

If that guy is being held to account 40 years later, why isn't the same
being done to Byrd?

*******************

Are you saying Byrd committed a murder?

There's a difference between being associated with a now discredited
group and even making a ridiculous remark associated with that group
and actually killing people.
What charges should Byrd be "brought to account" for? Being a democrat?

Sen. Robert Byrd used the N-word on TV within the last five or six years
while he was being interviewed for one of the Sunday shows.

Byrd is a racist and has always been a racist.

Byrd is an elitist and has always been one.

Byrd is an narcissist and has always been a narcissist. Byrd's narcissism is
in evidence by the naming of anything and everything as the Robert C. Byrd
building for federal stuff.

West Virginia, the US Senate and the USA will be a better place once Robert
C. Byrd is dead and buried along with all of his other Southern Democrat
buddies.
