Nonsense, dead. Membership in a known terrorist organization should be disqualification for holding public office. But ex-membership? I don't see why. Byrd admitted his mistake. Case closed. Hannity should give it a rest.

How many members of PETA are in congress? They support domestic terrorism.
And people could use that same justification to forbid people who are active in anti-abortion organizations from serving.
We're throwing the word "terrorism" a little too lightly these days.
I am aware of the KKKs past, but currently, I see them as nothing more than a sort of Elk's club for fat ignorant white hillbillies.

What's funny to me is that many of these clowns suggested that a DUI conviction twenty years ago might disqualify someone from public office, but former membership in the KKK is OK. It IS OK for Byrd to be elected despite his KKK roots. But it is ALSO OK for us to bring up that fact every time his name comes up.
