West Virginia Senator and former Klu Klux Klansman, Democrat Robert Byrd has recently published his memoirs. His life story is a glaring example of the despicable role Democrats have played in America's racist past. And how today they have remade their image by rewriting history.

Imagine if it were a Republican:
"Racist Neocon Memoirs"
It is astounding that a forty-year U.S. senator can admit that the most influential person in his life when he was young, was a Klan leader that told him he had leadership potential. Where is the MSM on that? Byrd is a strange bird.
Check it out. Those fools have hoods on their horses.
The horses wouldn't let those idiots ride them unless they covered their faces too.
Where is the outrage from the black so-called leaders -- Jackson, Sharpton, Conyers, Waters, Jackson-Lee, McKinney, Mfume, Obama, et al., (also the first black president, the 'Toon), hhhhmmmm???? Tapping foot -- still waiting....
To any Democrat Blacks reading this.....YOUR beloved Party, the Dems, are now and have always been the RACISTS!! WAKE-UP while you can still escape the chains of the Democrat Plantation!
I love how AOL features this story with a photo of a distraut-looking Byrd, and the sub-headline "Rivals still use it against Byrd". Awwwww, poor grandpa!
Now can we hear once more from larry sabato and the other "experts" about how the keagle is unbeatable!
I predict that by giddy up time the old bas$%d will drop out so he can steal all the remaining campaign money he has. Don't forget the klansman has been around long enough to still have the right to take his campaign money and run, unlike modern pols.
Has Senator Byrd ever voted to confirm and African American judge?
Horses are ashamed to be seen with them.

From today's Wheeling newspaper:
Dem Chairman: Byrd Run Likely
By JOSELYN KING
U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., hasn't yet announced he is running for re-election, but he will be in Wheeling for a fund-raiser in his honor on Friday.
"I think it does mean he intends to run again," said Ohio County Democratic Party Chairman Shane Mallett.
"He hasn't announced yet, but I think this is a great sign that he intends to run."
Byrd on Friday will first attend the dedication of the new federal courthouse and the courthouse annex in downtown Wheeling. This is slated for 4 p.m.
The fund-raiser for Byrd is then set to begin at 7 p.m. in Wilson Lodge at Oglebay Park.
Mallett is certain that Byrd should seek re-election in 2006.
"There's no doubt he should run again," he said. "All of the great things he has done for state show he is capable of performing at that level.
"I look forward, and the showing will prove that he has the support" to win re-election.
Byrd, currently 87, would be 88 years old next year when the campaign begins. If re-elected, he would be 89 when he takes office, and 95 at the completion of his next six-year term.
The fact isn't lost on the GOP that Byrd - first elected to the Senate in 1958 - could be vulnerable in his long-held seat.
U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore-Capito, R-W.Va., has been touted as a potential challenger next year. If Capito does leave the House to run for the Senate seat, Mallett predicts it could be a very contentious election.
"We could see a campaign worse than the McGraw race" in 2004, Mallett said.
"But if Capito decides not to run, the senator won't have competition from anybody else.
"It will be interesting to see if she does run," he added.
"It is going to be close in the House for the Republicans to keep control. If (Capito) leaves the House, it will be real tight as to who would win the seat. The rumor is the Republicans don't want to risk that spot."
