Good grief. Give up the fake history. Robert Byrd had abandoned any connection with the KKK decades before that picture was taken and he was never a “Grand Wizard” anyway.
This recent hobby of trying to outdo the Left at playing pin the tail on the racist is a truly stupid development.
The Democrats will be the very first to eviscerate someone for something they said or did decades ago, even if they've conducted themselves well since then. They don't care.
He was Grand Cyclops. Not wizzard. And Hillary’s mentor. It shows the double standard. So I say keep bringing it up.
Byrd was a recruiter for the KKK WHEN THE KKK WAS A POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS ORGANIZATION THAT BULLIED AND MURDERED BLACK CITIZENS.]
That matters.
The KKK today is a powerless bunch of losers. Yet to see liberals freak out you’d think the KKK was like it was when democrats ran it...

As others have noted, Byrd was an Exalted Cyclops. That’s a pretty big deal (see my post #8). So I must respectfully disagree with you.
Suppose some Republican had wandered into a Klan meeting by mistake or out of curiosity. The media would NEVER forgive that. Well, Byrd didn’t just wander into a Klan meeting. He was actually running the Klan meeting.
You’ve got to be a pretty hard-core racist to be doing that.
Oh, and one more thing. Byrd left the Klan not because he saw the light. He left because he realized that being in the Klan would be harmful politically.

Nope, sorry, we now play BY THEIR RULES, just as Trump does.
No more ‘high road’.
Right. I am sure the left would do the same thing if it was Donald Trump or Don Junior. </S>
It’s heroin to them

The pic and caption are 100% false. Snopes fudges again.
Have you forgotten Byrd’s infamous 2001 interview with Tony Snow (RIP) on Fox News Sunday in which he used the term “white n****r” twice, and got off with a lame apology?

2001 isn’t exactly the ancient history that you use to excuse Byrd’s Klan involvement. And this was Hillary’s “mentor”.
Imagine what would happen if a sitting Republican senator said that publicly.
Are you serious....do you really think he would have lasted ten minutes if he had been a republican!!!!
