Wiki
During his campaign for the U.S. Senate in 1958, when Byrd was 41 years old, Byrd defended the Klan. He argued that the KKK had been incorrectly blamed for much of violence in the South. [7] Since then, Byrd has often referred to his Klan membership as a mistake of his youth. As recently as 1997, he told an interviewer he'd encourage young people to become involved in politics, but with this warning: "Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don't get that albatross around your neck.

Organizing 150 people and signing them up for KKK service is more than a mistake.

The only thing he is sorry for is being associated with the klan, not the underlying attitude he holds.


Typical lame Repug strategy, kill the messenger.

If anybody who hasn't watched the hearing actually wants to, try:

www.c-span.org

Rummy is a psychophantic, patronizing, double-talking troll, when he speaks in these hearings, even when he speaks to the troops. It's about time somebody called him on it!

To bad the same thing can't be said of the soldiers he is using as pawns.

LOL, you wouldn't like him either. The point would remain the same so address the issue, not the messenger.

I saw it on TV and they did an excellent job of making their points on all the issues. It's time tp pony up and show some real progress. Put up or shut up, or quit. Plain enough?

on the whole KKK thing, well i think we just don't need those kinds of people in office. unless somehow they can actually prove they've changed their way of thinking, which is unlikely. i do think it's something you can overcome if you try, but the only reason he denounced it is because it's PC to do so, i bet he'd still move if some black people moved in next door to him. and the silver lining is that he wouldn't lynch them...

You want to dig up the past? Let's talk about Bush's National Guard desertion. And he's President, for God's sake! Not only that, but he's commander in chief of loyal troops who are being killed daily in a war that Bush has changed his reason for going into 4 times now.
