He once had a fleeting association with the Ku Klux Klan, what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means. He was a country boy from the hills and hollows from West Virginia. He was trying to get elected," former President Bill Clinton said of Sen. Robert Byrd.
"And maybe he did something he shouldn't have done come and he spent the rest of his life making it up. And that's what a good person does. There are no perfect people. There are certainly no perfect politicians," he added.

Hardly. Full-blown membership with a history of quotes that shows he truly never left the Klan.
“He was trying to get elected,” former President Bill Clinton said of Sen. Robert Byrd.”
Slick learned at the knee of the best on how to get elected...
Yes Clinton understands being a political whore.
We have turned off the red light Bubba. No PWs need pply.
And yet Trent Lott gets run out of town just for praising Strom Thurmond on his birthday.
I understand that nobody’s perfect, but Klan membership is unforgivable.
Klueless Klinton said “Klu” Klux Klan.
Typical Democrat praising a typical Democrat.
Not helping Bill, not helping.
Hey, only the nation’s first black president could make such an assertion about Senator Byrd.
Nice goin’, Bubba.
Putz.
hardly a passing interest in doing damage to others...
Clinton's health problems have obviously affected his brain ... addled old man
Clinton can identify with Byrd’s racism. It was just politics. Funny how millions of southern, white boys have managed to be successful in their lives and careers without resorting to organized racism. Maybe Clinton is just thinking about his own racist tendencies.
Really? He worked as a recruiter for the Klan and it was just to secure votes?
How many white supremacists did he recruit who went on to terrorize and discriminate against minorities and Catholics?
The Byrd has flown, so, ignore the white sheets and the burning crosses because he was just trying to get elected. You can also ignore what Bill was doing because he was just trying to get screwed. Democrats, they just can’t help themselves. Put them out of their misery in Nov.
It’s unforgiveable if forgiveness wasn’t asked for. Apparently Byrd apologized on more than one occasion, but he didn’t truly repent. Staying in the Democrats’ Party and trying to turn us into a socialist nation/country-sized plantation was not the way to show true remorse.
And, of course, one must do WHATEVER it takes, no matter how vile or obscene it may be, to get elected...
