If you think Border Patrol are wearing sheets - take a look at this old racist bigot.

Sen. Robert Byrd, D-WV, has said repeatedly over the years that he joined the notorious anti-black hate group the Ku Klux Klan during World War II - not because he was a racist - but because the Klan had taken a strong stance against communism, a system of government that then existed only in the Soviet Union.
But Byrd's KKK alibi doesn't stand up to even the most cursory historical scrutiny, as a World War II veteran pointed out to NewsMax.com Wednesday.
"When Byrd said he joined the Klan, it couldn't have been famous for being anti-Communist, since in 1943 the Soviet Union was our crucial ally in World War II," said our source, who served in Air Force, then known as the Army Air Corps, in preparation for the Normandy invasion.
"In 1943 Franklin Roosevelt was still calling Stalin 'Uncle Joe'," he added. "And I remember U.S. military maps that showed the Red Army's advances toward Berlin, which was something we were all happy about."
Further puncturing Sen. Byrd's KKK alibi, the World War II vet recalled, "There would have been no reason for any patriotic American to have been anti-Communist in 1943 - because we were doing everything we could to help the Reds beat Hitler on the Eastern Front."
In fact, anti-communism didn't emerge as a genuine force in American politics until 1947, with the outbreak of the Cold War - four years after Byrd says he left the Klan. Two weeks ago the West Virginia Democrat's press secretary Tom Gavin said his boss had belonged to the Klan for only "a number of months."
It was during this period that Byrd - supposedly by then an EX-Klansman - was advising Grand Imperial Wizard Samuel Green on whom to appoint to important posts in the hierarchy of the hate group. In a letter to Green, Byrd urged, "the Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in the Union."
A year later in 1948, Byrd opposed President Truman's initiative to integrate the Armed Forces - and he did so using the language of a very much active Klansman.
The powerful Senate Democrat vowed then that he would "never submit to fight beneath that banner (the American flag) with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds." "If Byrd said he thought the Klan's main job was fighting communism, he's either not being honest about why he joined - or he was a Klansman a lot longer than he now wants to admit," said the World War II vet.


Byrd's KKK Alibi Comes Unraveled

Classic Byrdism:

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds." - Robert Byrd in letter to Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo in 1944.

Sen. Robert Byrd, 92, RIP: From KKK to the U.S. Senate

My personal favorite:

"I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state .... The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia .... It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va .... I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities." -- Former Klansman and current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the "conscience of the Senate", in a letter written in 1946, after he quit the KKK.

so all you libs that don't like Sarah Palin & teaparties. Kiss my ass.

Even a cursory look at the history of the KKK (Wiki) reveals that the second emergence of the KKK after WW1 was characterized by racism, anti-semitism, nativism, anti-communism and anti-unionism. To say that anti-communism as a theme in the U.S. didn't emerge until after WW2 is not exactly accurate.
Eulogizing Byrd was an ugly job but somebody had to do it. I give Clinton credit for his remarks.

It is well known that Byrd was a member of the KKK in the 40's, there is no cover-up. Many southern Democrats were bitterly opposed to the Civil rights movement too.

Imagine a World where booner and dottie totally change their ways, to become Greenpeace protesters and Pelosi liberals. Just like Robert Byrd did.

Oh, was Byrd an anti-Greenpeacer? Then I reckon the boys are half way there.

I loved how Byrd carried his copy of the Constitution in his coat breast pocket and whipped it out at a prop at every apt opportunity.
Hope WV got all it needed; doubt it's gonna get many more bennies.

Many Southern Democrats may have been bitterly opposed to civil rights however it is unlikely many of them filibustered the civil rights act of 1964.

No that special place belongs to "Black Bird"

Then this no count field hand praises him to the heavens.

OBAMA the black superman. Hypocrite liar anarchist union toady.

The topic was "Liberal Hypocrisy"

BJ Billy says that (paraphrase) Byrd made a tiny mistake, like parking his car in a handicapped spot.

Tiny mistake. Tiny mistake ..... ???? huh?????

Trent Lott got run out of the Senate for saying that Strom Thurman would have made a good President.

Byrd was unqualified to be dog catcher.

But in the upside down world of Obamnation - Obama praises the old racist from the White House & then fires up his airplane to fly down to W. Va. for the funeral.

Guys like Byrd used to own guys like Obama's father. LOL.


btw. Today Byrd was planted in Arlington. Wonder if he ever served?

It's politics get used to it. Drama queen.

Every story of Fox news gets posted here. O'reilly on Fox just said he thought Clinton was just trying to be kind to the man. He said he understood that.

Anyways, what else would you expect from West Virginia. It has the highest Fox news viewership in the nation if I remember correctly.
