Here is some more information on Congressman Bobby Rush, D-IL.
From yesterday's Daily Southtown:
After urging the slating committee to question Dart's record on supporting minority issues in Springfield, Rush (D-1st), of Chicago, told reporters he found Dart "repulsive."(Thomas Dart was slated by the Cook County Regular Democratic Organization for the office of Sheriff on Monday.)
"Dart represents to me a kind of Klansman," Rush said. "One that don't wear a hood over the head but one that has a hood in the head."
Klansman? Lovely analogy. Incidentally, I wonder what Bobby Rush thinks of his colleague on the other end of the Capitol Building, Senator Robert "Sheets" Byrd, D-West Virginia.
I did a Google search, and couldn't find any links to regarding Bobby Rush's opinion of Byrd, who once was a Kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan.
And if Bobby Rush's proposal for slavery reparations ever becomes law, the first paycheck to be docked should be, in my opinion, Senator Byrd's.
