The KKK was not a sunday social club.They did criminal activities like lynchings, murders and violence...and to be a member back then would have meant you were in a criminal conspiracy to do these things.....What is the statute of limitations on these crimes?.....has Byrd ever fessed up to these types of activities.........or has anyone ever asked him if he participated in such events or had knowledge of these types of events? Lastly ,how many lynchings in his state occured during his reign in the klan....does anyone know?

byrd is an institution in WVA. he will keep getting reelected until they carry his a$$ out of the senate in a box. and by then, there won't be a public building in WVA that isn't named after him.

Disgusting tactic by Byrd. The arrogance of these Rats knows no bounds.
Raese's comments are ABSOLUTELY on-target. It is inspiring to see this kind of quick-thinking, hard-hitting reaction from a Republican. If we did more of this, we'd be a much stronger party. Buy that man a Miller.

His father would be supporting me today I feel if he were aliveConsidering Byrd is a Democrat, I am surprised he would consider mere death a limitation of Raese Senior's support.

I wonder why Byrd is attacking Raese if he has no chance. It is interesting. I think Raese has a real chance. He just needs to take the gloves off and knock the old geezer Moveon.org preacher out of his Senate Rocker.

I thought the deceased were off limits in politics?Yeah, but this is Democratic politics we're talking about. "Limits" is a nonsequeteur in that context. A Republican who said that a Democrat's deceased father woulda been ashamed of him would end his political career.

Byrdbrain became this state's chief source of income after the oil and mining industry went bust.
I know a lot of the folks here are good people and have common sense...it's probably a feeling of resignation that keeps Byrdbrain in power. The previous Republican governor we had, Bob Wise, was a real lightweight. It would literally take an act of God to kill the Democratic Party in WV.

Byrd is in his mid-80s. Oh, if only it were true!
Byrd is 89.
Kinda embarassing that he won't retire.
To: WestVirginiaRebel
Wise was a Democrat!
Underwood was the last GOP'er!
Underwood holds the distinction for being the youngest Governor elected (1956) and the oldest Governor (1992....maybe 1996). each time he only served on term and was fairly ineffective in both cases. Of course he was up against unbelievably Democrat majorities.

D'oh! You're right! Why did I think he was a Republican???
But he was still a goofball. Remember the photos of him? He looked like John Astin as Gomez Addams.

Byrd tried to sell his soul to the Devil so that he could be in the Senate forever, but the Devil said, "Keep it. It's so shriveled up it's practically worthless to me anyway. But I'll go ahead and give you your wish. We've got enough politicians down here as it is."

Wise always reminded me of a bad copy of California's Waxman.

The deceased aren't off limts to the dems. Funerals are their favorite place for political rallies, remember Wellstone? And those people who have permanent residence in cemetaries are an important block of their voting base. My father who was from WV always said Kennedy carried the state due to whisky bought miners and dead people.
