> I think we're long overdue for an Abraham Lincoln tribute. He did more for Civil Rights than Martin Luther King did.


I disagree.

Do you think that "Sheets" handlers suggested that he do something to counter his illustrious background?

Sort of like Osama Bin Laden erecting a memorial to the victims of 9/11.

Osama may have been trying to get HIS monument to 9/11 in the anti-American art exhibit at ground zero.

Byrd describing Dr King and how he must be remembered, ..."well-meaning Negro leaders who was, a coward who got other people into trouble."...

There are innumerable memorials to MLK. Why spend $10M on another one? Oh, that's right. . .so Byrd can do something superficial to help his image.

I hear OJ Simpson is lobbying for a monument to women's rights.

"Sheets" Byrd was up all night burning the midnight crosses to come up with this idea.

Byrd is a disgusting man, and has taught all of the other dem senators the art of pandering...

I even heard he is getting Osama Obama down to W. Virginia to campaign for him...

I am sure, if you got Obama away from ANY political influence and promised never to say anything, HE would also agree that Byrd is a despicable human being, but, for the votes he will go along to get along...

Roger Hedgecock (substitute host for Rush) made a good point about this yesterday: since MLK's activism was done while he was a minister, and we are erecting a monument to commemorate his activism, how can we justify putting this on public land? This violates the liberal idea of seperation of church and state. Where's the ACLU? Shouldn't they be filing a lawsuit to block this?

Standards for greatness in the Democrat Party.

It has been so long since Teddy Kennedy took a woman's life that he has forgotten her name.

Bobby Byrd cannot remember the last time he burned a cross.
