As Rush Limbaugh says: "We can't make this stuff up, folks."

The Party of Slavery, Jim Crow, Segregation, Racial Discrimination, Lynching, and the Ku Klux Klan now wants to distance itself from the Ku Klux Klan???

The Democrat Party's U.S. Senate Majority Leader into the 21st century (Robert Byrd, in case somebody's been in a cave in Tibet for the past 50 years) was the Grand Dragon (or somethingorother) of the Ku Klux Klan, f'cryin'out loud!

You sure can't beat the Democrats at chutzpah!

Local Republican chairman Greg Edds called this “a positive stand that we can all agree on.” “We are pleased to see that the North Carolina Democrat Party is taking steps to distance itself from Democratic candidates who promote racial hatred, violence and bigotry,” Edds said.

Perfect opportunity for the GOP to say, "Look who's party have the racists, not ours" but no, once again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
