Kerry supporter and fellow northeast elitist liberal Christopher Dodd took to the floor of the Senate this week to praise Sen. Robert Byrd as a man for all seasons. Dodd specifically mentioned that Byrd "would have been right during the great conflict of civil war in this nation."
In most cases we could chalk this up to making an old man - who proudly wears the title "King of Pork" for all of our tax dollars he sends to West Virginia - happy.
However, saying that Byrd would have been right for the country during the Civil War is a bit like saying Hitler would have been right man for Israel at its creation in 1948.
You see, what Dodd didn't mention was that old Bobby Byrd was not only a proud member of the Ku Klux Klan, he was the "Kleagle". In that role he got a $10 finders fee for each white hood he signed up for the KKK. His sales pitch: The Klan espoused "traditional American Values." Yet John Kerry is silent on Dodd's gushing praise of this man with a virulently racist past. Kerry's silence also is yet another example of his rank hypocrisy.
In his glory days as the Kleagle, Byrd wrote that 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." And this was after he supposedly left the Klan. We guess he just wanted to get invited to one more cross burning.
One could forgive Byrd had he changed his ways over the years. However, he filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Bill, and voted against both the ultra -liberal Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court. What's the problem Senator, did them two Negroes get a bit to uppity and not remember to stay at the back of the bus and know their place?
Further Sen. Byrd has yet to give us the definition of a "white ni--er", even though he told Tony Snow that "I've seen a lot of them in my time".
So where does our buddy John Kerry fit in on all of this? Well, it has been a few days and he has yet to call for Dodd's resignation as the ranking member of the Senate Rules Committee , even though he called for Trent Lott to step down from a leadership post after his Strom Thurmond comments. Yes, Strom's racial past was far from perfect, but we don't think he ever was a recruiter for an organizations whose idea of fun was turning up the heat on the front lawn of defenseless minorities
We can only assume that Senator Kerry's silence and failure to criticize Senator Dodd signals his agreement with the comments. We wonder if Kerry thinks it is too bad that Byrd wasn't in charge during the Civil War. This way blacks could still be in slavery and unwilling to vote, thus freeing Kerry from the need to pander to them by toting his unread bible to their churches and expressing his "fascination" with hip hop.
Luckily for all of us, especially blacks, Robert Byrd was not around to be "right for the nation" in the 1860's. If he was, and given his history, the only "season" we might have needed to concern ourselves with would have been lynching season.

Enough said right there. When 40% of the electorate are spineless, ignorant sheeple, the DRats can just sit there and get votes. Of course the more vocal they are, the more the orgasmic nerve centers of the primal brain of these stupid Americans becomes agitated to take action...any action. A rat has more self-determination. Intelligence and independence of thought have gone south...forever. The ones still holding these traits are being outbred by the third worldist cretins.
