Democratic KLAN

Let's see Senator Byrd has stepped up as one of the point men for the democrat's assault on Condi Rice - a prominent, intelligent, and successful African-American women. Let us review Senator Byrd's qualifications (via NewsMax.com).

1. Former Ku Klux Klansman


2. In the early 1970s, Byrd pushed to have the Senate's main office building named after Sen. Richard Russell, a leading opponent of anti-lynching legislation who the West Virginia Democrat called "my mentor."


3. Byrd filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 14 straight hours. And three years after he said he'd left his white-sheeted brethren behind, he wrote to Georgia's Grand Imperial Wizard, urging, "The Klan is needed today as never before."


4. Sen. Byrd was also a fierce opponent of desegregating the military, complaining in one letter: "I should rather die a thousand times and see old glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen of the wilds."

Well I guess I cannot argue with those qualifications. Can you believe the blatant disregard for everything decent in this example of the "diversified" democratic leaders? I am dumbfounded that democrats would allow, no want, Robert Byrd to be point man on this issue. I do notice the lack of outrage from minority leaders or the MSM.
