GOP Pounces on Byrd Link to Liberal Group Republicans say they plan to make MoveOn's fundraising for the veteran Democratic senator an issue in his reelection effort. By Ronald Brownstein Times Staff Writer April 6, 2005 WASHINGTON "Sen. Byrd would be the prize for Republicans in 2006 that Tom Daschle was in 2004," said Tom Matzzie, MoveOn's Washington director, referring to the former Senate minority leader from South Dakota who lost his reelection bid in November. Byrd, Matzzie said, "is just such a gigantic figure for progressives that we felt like we had to be supportive." But the torrent of MoveOn money drew quick fire from Republicans, who signaled that they intended to make the group's support an issue not only in West Virginia but also in other states.MoveOn, founded in 1998 to oppose President Clinton's impeachment, has become the first mass Internet-based political organization of the 21st century; it claims more than 3.1 million names on its e-mail list. Yet Byrd has become a favorite for the group with his opposition to the war in Iraq and Senate Republican threats to eliminate the filibuster for judicial nominations.

When Americans like Strom Thurmond reliquinshed his judge's robes to parachute into Hitler's empire and end the tyranny Robert Byrd was busy back in West Virginia recruiting additional members for the KKK. In a 1947 letter, after Mr. Byrd had been elected to the state senate, he wrote that he would "never submit to fight beneath that banner (the American flag) with a Negro by my side (of course he didn't bother to fight in a segrated military in WW2 either). 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." Byrd and Hitler share a racist fetish, and it's both amusing and sad to see this man who shied from the duty others carried now try and smear them with his own philosophical bedfellows.

In the supposed state of nature, all men are equally bound by the laws of nature, or to speak more properly, the laws of the Creator.
Samuel Adams, Father of the American Revolution, Signer of the Declaration
[T]he laws of nature . . . of course presupposes the existence of a God, the moral ruler of the universe, and a rule of right and wrong, of just and unjust, binding upon man, preceding all institutions of human society and government.
John Quincy Adams
The law of nature, which, being coeval with mankind and dictated by God Himself, is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this.
Alexander Hamilton, Signer of the Constitution
Rule #2. Liberals always search themselves for their worst motivation and actions and then attribute them to their opponents.
Correct.
