I'm sorry, but I think that his past (?) membership in that organization speaks VOLUMES about his character. He was not a kid when he willingly joined -- and became a recruiter -- for what was, essentially, a terrorist organization.

And the fact that he *insists* on being treated as some sort of moral authority worthy of respect and deference is appalling, as well as undeserved.

Why doesn't some investigative jounalist go back and look up the record of Byrd's KKK terrorist activities? How many Blacks were lynched? How many crosses burned? How many Black Americans beaten and intimidated?

I agree. But the KKK has nothing to do with aircraft carriers, unless the Navy decides to hire their uniform stylist. All I'm saying is that if all people can say with regards to Byrd is, "Quiet, Klanboy," then it's not really that different when a liberal will degenerate to name-calling in an argument. It's pathetic, and it's happening to Byrd critics.
