“Next time the idiot press asks Trump about the KKK, he should say, “I don’t know much about them. Hilary might have more information for you since it’s a Democrat organization.””

Oooh, good one. Send that suggestion into Trump’s campaign for him to use.

Here is something else to mention.

Bill Clinton worked in the office of Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright.

J. William Fulbright: Enemy of Joseph McCarthy and Equal Rights

Fulbright was certainly no "ally" of black Americans. Bitterly racist, he fought to protect the Jim Crow laws that denied black citizens their constitutional rights. In 1956 Fulbright was one of ninety-nine congressional Democrats to sign the Southern Manifesto, which declared that the Southern states had a right to keep their populations segregated by race. (It should be mentioned in passing that only two Republicans signed the document.)

In 1964 Fulbright was one of a group of tenacious Democrats who filibustered for fifty-seven days in an attempt to block the Civil Rights Act that outlawed segregation in public accommodations.

Contrary to the stereotypes that Dr. Foner and other liberals try so hard to promote, Fulbright was also a very liberal Democrat. He was a staunch supporter of labor unions. He always lobbied for appeasement of the Soviet Union; and opposed American aid to Israel, which was, at that time, the only Middle-Eastern nation aligned with the United States against the Soviet Union.

He also did all he could to impair America's fight against Communism in Vietnam, writing two books on the subject, and using his position as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to undermine the war effort.

Fulbright's office provided assistance to young men who wanted to avoid the draft, including a young future President of the United States named Bill Clinton, whom Fulbright hired as a clerk just two years after filibustering to block the 1964 Civil Rights Act.5

Do we have to remind anyone that Bill Clinton was a Fulbright Scholar in England where it was said he left the program and fled back the the USA after raping a coed.
