"Looks like they found it, The Racism of the Democrats of the 50s and 60s. Who better to lead them than the KKK man himself Robert Byrd."

They are absolutely suicidal in their blatant racism against GW choices.

This is great. Now we can educate the younger Americans about how racist the Rat Party has been since the Civil War.

[An Old Marine]

This is a great opportunity for us. Handled right it'll get one of the 5 Senate seats we need.

[popdonnelly]

This whole effort is pathetic. There's no reason to hold Condi Rice hostage so that Senators that most of the American public ignore can make speeches.

That said, let them put Byrd in charge. Then everyone who supports the Bush Administration can make sure that Byrd's past is well-publicized. Let's do it, because the news media isn't going to do it.

I assume your are talking about the 1850's and 1860's.

Why is "Sheets" referred to as an ex-klansman??

Far as we know he's STILL a member in good standing.

[PzLdr]

Probably because Byrd delivers more pork than all the hog farming states combined. If the Republicans in the Senate could pull their own snouts out of the trough long enough to shut the spigot, Byrd might be forced to portray Confederate officers in the movies full time ("Gods and Generals").

Just in case you didn't see this yet,....

[ArrogantBustard]

Sheets Byrd is from West Virginia.

I bet if Hitler were a Democrat they'd celebrate his birthday in the Democratic/Socialist Nazi Party.

[Christian4Bush]

This stinks so bad, but I'm wondering where the NAACP is on this.

It's the NAALCP ("L" standing for liberal) and they're where they've always been of late: crying "wolfism".

Why can't the MAJORITY REPUBLICANS over rule this racist. Why can't they demand that she be voted in now. Don't they have ANY control or say over ANYTHING? They have all said that she will be confirmed. Why are they allowing this?

[tillacum]

Isn't one of byrd's daughters married to an Arab? I seem to remember reading that somewhere. I think the arab family is communications of many kinds and super wealthy. I guess it depends on the wealth of mongrelizing a race? By the way I'm a mongrel.

[hoosiermama]

Republican talking points for this week end talk shows should bring every comment about Condi back to being so embarrassed for the Democratic party that a former member of the KKK was still practicing racist behavior.

[midwyf]

And of course we all believe that his opposition is based on Iraq. Put it in the Dem highlights with Rathergate.

[Optimist]

Can you imagine the howling and outrage by the leftist media and Dems in congress if Trent Lott was put into the same position?

[fastattacksailor]

Pelosi is such a lameazz

[Another Thought]

Oh, this is the BEST! The Democrats are unraveling and every thread they try to pull tears off more of the mask. Dr. Rice is too smart and savy to be bothered by this. They are fools and the whole world is seeing it.

[okie01]

How doew someone like Byrd ever get elected? It leaves me breathless.

Byrd belongs to another era. One that is, mercifully, about to end.

Overt racists will never again gain election to public office. Democrats will continue to elect covert racists, however.
