Byrd said through a spokesman earlier this year that, even during his Klan days, he was never a racist, but instead he joined the cross-burning, night-riding group to fight communists.

"...Ja! Und ze only reason Heinrich joined the Party vas for those great torchlight parades, ze pub life in Nuremberg, and those snazzy armbands! He wasn't an anti- Semite, just a collector of gold fillings."

How does this Dixicrat clown still get any serious playing time?
