Granted the dems are using a double standard here. My point is this, trying to get Byrd booted is not going to even the score. It sounds like second grade children bickering on the playground.

That's not the point. Everybody knows Byrd won't get booted. The purpose here is to undermine the Dems' stolen credibility on matters of race. If this is repeated often enough, black voters will begin to realize that the party they are ostensibly beholden to is harboring a Klansman. They may not vote Republican, but some of them will get disgusted enough to stop supporting the Dems. This is a winning issue.
