Yawn.  Just for perspective.

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." — Robert Byrd in letter to Klan Imperial Wizard Samuel Green of Atlanta, April 8, 1946.

Sorry Toad, Byrd has the DNC stamped "Get out of Jail Free" card. It's obviously an irrelevant point.

It wouldn't have made any difference.

He did not have the petroleum infrasructure for fuel, and nobody was a pilot.  ;)

napolean would have held the B-52 in reserve until he had already lost the battle

Sorry to disappoint you.   Apparently you are a wiser, and far more educated man then I.  But I must point out that I never went to a public school.  But I do have a degree in history.  It's a shame that folks forget first causes to stay in line with political agendas.  Proof that the fall of Rome is eminent.  I had a much longer post planned but after reading some of the garbage being thrown around here, I can see it would be a waste.

I agree, Byrd should step down as Majority leader too.

I'm just wondering how Byrd was ever elected in the first place, oh wait, it's that double standard thing. :rolleyes:

All true MT, but... what are the Democrats doing now? They are saying now perhaps the GOP will address their racist underpinnings....

huh?!

Does this mean that since the majority leader said something stupid and was forced by his party to step down the entire party is rife with racism? That seems to be the suggestion. If that's true, it most certainly is relevant the Dems have people like Byrd onboard, and people like Jackson and Sharpton as major power brokers. Heck, even Farrakhan is embraced by members of the Democratic party, so... are Democrats racist?

You know the answer.

Some dems are racists.

Some reps are racists.

All racists are idiots.

I think we are on the same page in this thread Kieran.

No doubt, but then the subject of the thread was about Republicans owning up to and policing their own party, a very foreign idea to Democrats.
