Fleeting?
Hardly. Full-blown membership with a history of quotes that shows he truly never left the Klan.

“He was trying to get elected,” former President Bill Clinton said of Sen. Robert Byrd.”
Slick learned at the knee of the best on how to get elected...

And yet Trent Lott gets run out of town just for praising Strom Thurmond on his birthday.

I understand that nobody’s perfect, but Klan membership is unforgivable.

Hey, only the nation’s first black president could make such an assertion about Senator Byrd.
Nice goin’, Bubba.

Clinton can identify with Byrd’s racism. It was just politics. Funny how millions of southern, white boys have managed to be successful in their lives and careers without resorting to organized racism. Maybe Clinton is just thinking about his own racist tendencies.

Really? He worked as a recruiter for the Klan and it was just to secure votes?
How many white supremacists did he recruit who went on to terrorize and discriminate against minorities and Catholics?

Giving the record of Clintoons mentor, you would expect him to say that. Sort of like the lie he told about never using the N word and never telling a racists joke. And all of those church burning in Arkansas. Old Lewinsky chaser is so yesterday!
To: i88schwartz
The Byrd has flown, so, ignore the white sheets and the burning crosses because he was just trying to get elected. You can also ignore what Bill was doing because he was just trying to get screwed. Democrats, they just can’t help themselves. Put them out of their misery in Nov.

Wipe the smirk off your face Wallace! He did not have sex with those Klansmen!

It’s unforgiveable if forgiveness wasn’t asked for. Apparently Byrd apologized on more than one occasion, but he didn’t truly repent. Staying in the Democrats’ Party and trying to turn us into a socialist nation/country-sized plantation was not the way to show true remorse.

Clinton Defends Byrd's KKK Ties: "He Was Trying To Get Elected" And, of course, one must do WHATEVER it takes, no matter how vile or obscene it may be, to get elected...
