Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV) died early this morning at Inova Hospital in Fairfax, Va. Upon arriving in Hell, he was immediately appointed KKK Grand Dragon.

Byrd was greeted at the gates of Hell by long-time friend Ted Kennedy, who made an unsuccessful bid for president of Hell last year shortly after his own arrival.

Of course, when driving into work listening to the national news they failed to mention he was a Grand Wizard.

[Mr. Wright]

Only mention those kinds of things when R’s die. I remember when Nixon died, every two minutes, “Watergate” came into the story of his death.

[carton253]

I would think for one day that politics could be put aside and respect could be paid at the passing of a human being from this world. I don’t know if Mr. Byrd was a Christian, but he has met his God. That deserves something more than jokes and contempt.

TRUTH is what matters. You won’t find the MSM telling it. See the Byrd quotes in the link.

Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd, Ex-Klansman
by Michelle Malkin (March 8, 2001)

Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.

The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes.

The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox News Sunday morning talk show host Tony Snow about the state of race relations in America. Sen. Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[4]

Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan. According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4] He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]

Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:

"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.[5]"

He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

From the Washington Post:

"Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels."..."

"during the general election campaign, Byrd's GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country. The letter was dated 1946 -- long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan. "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia," Byrd wrote, according to newspaper accounts of that period. Byrd makes no mention of the letter in his new book."

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

So, how does West Virginia fill the seat that is now vacant...will there be an election, or is there an appointement.

[svxdave]

This may kill Wall Street Reform for a period, I think. Doesn’t the Obama Take-over Team need his vote?

[ETL]

When has being dead stopped anyone from voting in support of democrats?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Appointment, then special election in November.

[Fundamentally Fair]

Of course, when driving into work listening to the national news they failed to mention he was a Grand Wizard.

Well, since he wasn't....Still, I'd hope that they would accurately report his past.

[bandleader]

Senator Byrd was eulogised as a fighter in The Civil Rights Movement.Was this before(or after)he filibustered against passage of both The Voting Rights Act,and The Civil Rights Act?He was joined in this by at least two other notable civil rights advocates(Sens.J.William Fulbright/Albert Gore Sr.)!!While we’re at it,let’s re-write the WHOLE history of The United States of America!!!

[bandleader]

Why would”They”start doing that(tell the TRUTH)now?The late Senator Strom Thurmond had been a segregationalist/racist for at least the first half of his life until he had his”Journey to Damascus”and turned away from racism.In fact’he was a pioneer in hiring minorities for his staff positions.Do you think this was”accurately”reported upon his death?Why did Trent Lott step down from majority leadership??He was at the old man’s 99th b’day and he said how different things would have been had Thurmond been elected POTUS in 1948.He was saying something nice to an old man on his 99th b’day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
