"I don't doubt that he knew all about the Ku Klux Klan. But you've still shown me no evidence that he supported the lynching of any black man, or that he did anything else illegal at the time. This is nothing more than mudslinging."

Oh sure, and Bob Byrd thought blacks were what? Lets ask him again, what he thought of blacks: He also opposed the Civil Rights Act, (as did Al Gore SR.)

Bob Byrd quote:
"I will never go to war with a Negro by my side.
Rather I should die 1000 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." -
-Bob Byrd- 1945; in a letter to a fellow Senator in his opposition to integration of the Armed Forces.

You defend Bob Byrd and his rascist past, and my opposing a mysogynistic religion that hates the Jews, democracy,and all things non-Islamic is bigoted.
OK...I got it.

I've never defended it. Read my post at the beginning of this discussion.

The difference between you and Robert Byrd is: he recognized the hate and bigotry of what he said and did in the past, and admitted he was mistaken. You've failed to do either of those things.

And before I waste my time reading either of the diatribes you've posted above, do these have anything to do with mainstream Islam? Or is this more cherry-picking from the fringe?
