To: a fool in paradise

You do know that there is zero evidence that William Fulbright ever belonged to the Klan, including in the link that you helpfully provided, right? Did you think that posting a link would magically make Fulbright a Klan member?

What’s your point, other than hoping to buttress your claim that Bill Clinton had “excused so many Democrats for belonging to the Klan”? He excused exactly one, Robert Byrd, as I pointed out in my first post.

The only additional name that you managed to produce was Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, who died when Clinton was still in college.

Since you didn’t produce a Bill Clinton quote excusing Black’s KKK membership I’m certain that you couldn’t find one. Unlike Robert Byrd, Bill Clinton didn’t personally know Hugo Black and would have no reason to defend him.

However Black’s one-time KKK membership was known to the eight Republican Senators who voted to confirm him to the Supreme Court in 1937. Maybe you’d have better luck finding some quotes by them explaining why it didn’t matter.
