What a crock. OK, Byrd left the Klan in 1946. In 1964 he fillibustered the Civil Rights Act for fourteen straight hours. I wonder if Colmes asked him about that...

Quickie Quiz:

Which of the following people used the term "White Ni**er" in Public?

Jimmie (the Greek ) Snyder,Trent Lott, Newt Gingrich, John Tower, Richard Nixon, Earl Butz, Rush Limbaugh

Answer:

None of them, and they all lost their jobs because of "racial insensitivity" or some such nonsense.

A double standard, perhaps?

14 hours without a break. Man, that's some serious hatred. BTW, what did Byrd do in WWII? I know he wrote an infamous letter complaining that he'd never serve in a desegregated military but did he serve at all?
