EX-KLANSMAN Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not. The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes. The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox...

Just saw this on Fox. Dean was in NH to submit his $1000 filing fee for the NH primary. There were protestors there waving confederate flags, wearing sheets (that you Dr. Raoul?), and holding "Dean McGovern" signs.

<p>Something big is happening with Sen. Robert Byrd that no one, including the West Virginia Democrat, has fully figured out.</p> <p>Melding his Roman hero Cato with an old man's sheer cussedness, Mr. Byrd has thrown himself into a personal crusade chiding fellow lawmakers to stand up against what he sees as an increasingly arrogant, wartime White House.

Former Ku Klux Klansman Sen. Robert Byrd is angry at President Bush - not because he spent taxpayer dollars to pay a congratulatory visit to an aircraft carrier bearing the men and women who helped defeat Saddam Hussein. But instead, says one civil rights leader, Bryd's pique was provoked because the ship in question bore the name of America's Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. That's the contention from Kevin Martin, spokesman for the African-American Republican Leadership Counsel, who served during the Gulf War aboard the USS Lincoln's sister ship. "Senator Byrd has a long association with the Klan that sought to...

Filed at 5:36 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- Questioning the motives of a ``desk-bound president who assumes the garb of a warrior,'' Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd on Tuesday reproached President Bush for flying onto an aircraft carrier last week to declare an end of major fighting in Iraq. ``I am loath to think of an aircraft carrier being used as an advertising backdrop for a presidential political slogan, and yet that is what I saw,'' Byrd said on the Senate floor. Byrd, 85, of West Virginia, is the Senate's most senior member and was one of the most outspoken critics...

Classmates and friends spoke of a friendly guy who played on the football team. Just before he put the handgun to his temple, James Sheets looked into a fellow classmate’s eyes. He had already shot the Red Lion Area Junior High School principal, Gene Segro. His classmate, Angel Williams, stared back at him, caught his eyes. She could tell he was going to hurt himself. He gave her a look that said he was about to end his life. And then he did. Just like that, students said, it was over. Everyone who knew Sheets never suspected he could or...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The oldest voice in the U.S. Congress rose on Wednesday to denounce as misguided President Bush (news - web sites)'s march to war with Iraq (news - web sites). "Today I weep for my country," said West Virginia Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd. "No more is the image of America one of strong, yet benevolent peacekeeper. ...

Civil Rights Leader to Picket 'KKK' Byrd TributeA Washington, D.C.-based civil rights leader said Tuesday that he would "chain [himself] to the construction site" of a ceremonial office being built as a tribute to Ku Klux Klansman-turned-senator, Robert Byrd, D-W.V.

Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W. Va) criticized President Bush yesterday for giving the United States the image "of a belligerent bully," and said Bush's contrasting handling of threats posed by North Korea and Iraq revealed major flaws in his foreign policy. Byrd said Bush appeared eager to apply his doctrine of preemptive military action against less powerful countries such as Iraq, but not against countries that may pose a nuclear threat, such as North Korea.

Please consider sending Byrd a nice 200 count WHITE sheet for the new Senate Session. A few thousand sheets should make some waves in the sea of hypocracy.

According to a Chris Matthews sound bite, Robert Byrd was nicknamed 'Sheets' by House Speaker, Democrat, Tip O'Neill. What a canvas. Make it as big as you wish. One small can of spray paint will print just about any message. Something like 'Byrd has LONG history in the KKK' would work. Take a picture of your work and post it on the net! The sheets could be sent to the NAACP, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, or DC.
