As we begin Super Tuesday, conservative business Donald Trump has been under fire for not disavowing David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). It was a classic gotcha question by the liberal media, as Trump has disavowed Duke and his racism in years past.
But what about Hillary Clintons record on race? Now, a video has appeared on YouTube of Hillary Clinton speaking highly of a former Klan Member.
Former U.S. Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) was a card-carrying member and recruiter for the KKK. In the 1940s, he obtained the KKK rank of Exalted cyclops and spent decades promoting their vile, racist message. And he took part in what was at the time- the longest filibuster ever against the Civil Rights Act.
As Byrd once announced:
I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side 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.
Watch this video (at link) where Hillary Clinton remembers her friend and former Klansman, Senator Robert Byrd:
In her rant today about Trump she once again said he had not disavowed David Duke, which is a lie, she said Trump started the birther talk about Obama, which is a lie, her campaign did in 2008. She called Trump a racist, which has been disproven a thousand times over by people who know him, mostly employees and relatives. His daughter is married to a Jew and he was once dated a black gal, but in her in dimwitted mind, he's a racist. She also said Trump was a conspiracy nut for spreading the rumor that something's wrong with her health. That was the funniest one of all. If the woman is not suffering from Parkinson's or dementia there ain't a cow in Texas. She's also a bigot for saying she cares for voters, but doing absolutely nothing to improve their lives. She is bigoted towards the US military because she left them to die in Benghazi then looked in the faces of the families of the fallen and lied like hell to them about the circumstances of their deaths.

Good find!
Time to tweet, FB, email to all lists!
Wow, you listen to that eulogy and almost have to lift up the hood to wipe a tear away.
The Democrats made him leader of the Senate!
They referred to him as the 'conscience of the Senate'
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[8]
Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan.
According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4]
He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops [the top officer in the local Klan unit]. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]
Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:
"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.[5]"
He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

From the Washington Post:
"Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "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.."..."
"during the general election campaign, Byrd's GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country. The letter was dated 1946 -- long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan. "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia," Byrd wrote, according to newspaper accounts of that period. Byrd makes no mention of the letter in his new book."

YES!!!
PLEASE DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET THIS TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ASAP!!!!
Dr. Drew said Hillary didn’t look well in his professional opinion a few days ago and now his show has been cancelled! Amazing. Playing the bigotry card is a Hail Mary play. She has nothing. She is an old strokey grandma who should be in prison. Nobody on earth is excited about her. She can’t even fill a high school gym.
Sounds like a BIGOT to me!
Sent to LOU and Drudge
I’m sure they have it! They’re on it :)
Doesnt matter, media will never report it, remember, they consider Byrd to be an “honorable man” this is all about taking the focus off of the Clinton Foundation, emails, murders, lies, etc etc etc..the media is lock step with making sure that Hitlary Clinton becomes President..the ONLY way this gets out is if Trump makes a campaign video about it otherwise it will never been seen
Ditto!
This still shot, swapping spit...it’s right before she slips him the tongue.
She can't draw flies. (we have to depend on the queer moslem/marxist for that)
Hannity covering it now
Who can forget when he said to Tony Snow on Fox News Sunday, “There are white niggers. Ive seen a lot of white niggers in my time. Im going to use that word”
Remember this raving lunatic racist liberal turd was the Democratic Party Senate Majority Leader...
I think we just need to know... if Trump is such a racist, misogynist, anti-gay sexist.... why did hiLIARy and BJc go to Trumps wedding????
