I hope Colmes saved the dress he wore to this hard charging interview.
I've heard people use the "N" word too, but I didn't say it. That old fool has a record that can't be denied....since the KKK and up to now. He needs to GO! It's way past time.
Democrat morality and intellectual honesty is a constantly recorded over tape loop of about one day. The movie "Groundhog's Day" should be their party's image.
Well gee whiz Senator, why don't you act a little more "Christian" toward the President then??
Well, the old relic may be right about being wrong. I was actually out of my mind once, and as a reaction to Nixon shaming the White House, I voted for Carter. I was wrong.
"But he didn't explain why he decided to lead the filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, or championed the renaming of the Senate's main office after Georgia Sen. Richard B. Russell, whose chief accomplishment was blocking the passage of anti-lynching legislation in the 1930's and 40's."
Remember when Trent Lott was drummed out of his position as majority leader just for praising Strom Thurmond too much, a man who gave up his segregationist views 40 years hence? Funny how Byrd-brain fought the Civil Rights Act and tried to get a building named for a guy who supported lynching blacks, and not only was he majority leader he is now praised and heaped with deferrence by DemoCRITES and their lapdogs in the media as the "Lion of the Senate" and other such undeserved expressions of honor.
He did not just support the Klan by showing up once--he blessed ran the thing as the Grand Poobah-Lord High Executioner.
Sorry to quote Ann Coulter again, but she has these (s***)Byrds pegged. Paraphrasing ('Slander'?), 'For Democrats, when a former Klansman calls the president of the United States a Nazi, that's free speech. When an American calls a United States Senator a former Klansman, that's hate speech.'
Colmes did a good Larry King impression last night: 'Here's another softball, Your Eminence.'
"Well, I have heard many people use it. I have heard black leaders use it. I've heard white leaders use it."
Oh sure. Blame the victims.
Oh, and what did he and other Senatorial RATs (Kerry comes to mind), have to say about George Bush's younger indiscretions? Another question: How many blacks lost their lives to the evil actions of KKK members that he recruited? There's a huge difference between supporting a murderous, truly terrorist organization, and having a drinking problem (but the RATs don't get it yet!).
Right, and I'm Peter Pan--see me fly. (sarc)
Not too convincing. Sorry.
The time is way past for this self-aggrandizing old fool. He should have been wearing a plaid jacket and shuffling along at the dog track a long time ago.
He said he was wrong. He attributes his changed attitude to becoming Christian.
That's good enough for me. KKK is no longer an issue for Sen Byrd.
Now about policy.........
Byrd: Why I Left the Klan
Because it wasn't politically popular anymore.
Why did Robert Byrd join the Klan?
Nonsense. Byrd joined the Klan when it was a political plus for a rising young southern politician, and he left the Klan when it became a political minus.
It's as simple as that.
Byrd insisted that he had "always tried to do the, RIGHT ,thing". An obvious attempt to claim RIGHT thinking on his part is responsible for his raciest wrongs.
It's time to close the book on the latter years of your self serving life as well, Byrd, -except for the part where you sit around the old folks home, playing graba$$ with every nurse who wanders too close to your rocking chair.
