The entire time I couldn't help but think, this guy is a former Klan member and they are actually paying attention to what he says.
If Byrd were a Conservative, his history and past would be ****WELL KNOWN**** in public circles and would one of those things that is referred to as an after thought. Kind of like the words "Lott/Republican = Segregation" (to the MSM) it would be "Byrd/Democrats = KKK Leadership position. Instead, it's largely unknown because it has been largely underplayed all these years...
And the main stream press wonders why more the half the nation thinks they don't have an agenda?
I've lived in the south all of my life and I don't know one person who was in the KKK. I don't know anyone who lynched anyone either (that is so damn despicable). How could a leader of the KKK get elected to the U.S. Senate?! People had to know what he was doing in the KKK and it wasn't making friends and helping people. I don't care how long ago it was. A person who would do the things the KKK obviously did doesn't belong in the leadership of anything much less the U. S. Senate lecturing people on right and wrong!
