"Whether or not you wish to forgive Robert Byrd for using the n-word is totally up to you. Frankly, I don't care what you decide. But you seem intent at all costs to steer the discussion away from what I asked earlier: when did Robert Byrd lie? When did he participate in or sponsor a lynching? When did he do anything illegal? When did he do anything other than precisely what he said he did? "

I have said REPEATEDLY to you: I don't know that Byrd ever burned a cross or lynched any blacks; whom he called: "...race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."
But then again...I don't know that he DIDN'T... Do you???

So; Robert Byrd needs to answer one simple question to us all:
- Were you, Robert K. Byrd, ever involved in a Cross-burning or a Lynching, while in the Ku Klux Klan, or did you have knowledge of aforementioned Klan activities?

If Byrd burned even ONE cross on even ONE lawn of even ONE fellow American, he has nothing left to offer. He is discredited, disgraced, and has no other option other than to tender his resignation from the Senate.

So, tell ya what Sam: Provide us all a link, show us where Robert Byrd has apologized PUBLICLY for being in the Klan, and where he has completely denounced the Klan, OK?

So there's my challenge to you.
Show us, with Robert Byrd's own words, his apology for being in the Klan, and his denouncing the KKK publicly. and I'm not interested in any of your excuses for him, or the D.N.C. spin, or his own PR boy's B.S.
And don't give me that BS that he was in the Klan to fight Communism. The Cold War hadn't even started in 1942. If you can show his denouncement of the Klan and his apology, I'll shut-up, and never say another word about Bobby KKK Big Byrd...EVER. Fair enough?

BTW; Robert Byrd stayed out of the military in 1945, because he was opposed to the integration of blacks into the military, and you're DAMN Right I'm proud of my son, who (by golly you noticed, Sam: he's half-black) served honorably in our military.
