Actually, I'd go even further.

I think active membership in the KKK should not disqualify a person from serving in congress if he garners enough votes in his district.

Ignorant assholes have as much a right to representation as anybody else. This is America.

Nonsense, dead. Membership in a known terrorist organization should be disqualification for holding public office. But ex-membership? I don't see why. Byrd admitted his mistake. Case closed. Hannity should give it a rest.

Damn right we do! I am starting an N.A.A.I.A chapter in my town tomorrow.

On a serious note, I could care less if they're nazi, commie, klan, aryan, black panther, whatever. They can run and I can do everything within my rights to make sure they are not elected.

As a celebrated stand up philospher once stated "What a country!"
