Yes, you have the full quote. However, this is a blanket statement:
"...in any context, for any reason, ever."
Bob Byrd is playing a post modern version of the race card. And those who support him, are working for Byrd.
I don't know what your problem is with Byrd.
Robert Byrd is a man of the highest ethical standards and moral character.
He is a man of guts, endurance and the pioneering spirit that made this country great.
He proved all this and more when he discovered the south pole.
