This is so beyond the pale.
I wonder how family members who lost people in WWII in the Holocaust feel about Byrd comparing the GOP to Hitler?

Dems say Byrd is the conscience of the Senate....
To: OXENinFLA
How could they accurately transcribe what he said? Didn't the white pillowcase over his head muffle the voice?

I caught a mention of this on Britt Hume's newscast tonight. It wasn't an off-the-cuff comment by the extremist Byrd but a prepared speech. But hey, if Teddy can get away with vitriole without being censured, why would Byrd worry about any repercussions?

When Byrd was Senate majority leader, he reportedly used the "nuclear option" some four times to circumvent filibusters. They don't even care about their hypocrisy, do they?

I find it mind-boggling that the Republicans are taking this whole thing lying down.

I heard this tonight and thought, people must be getting pretty tired of hearing the GOP referred to as Nazis every five seconds.

Says Byrd: "
Note, hear me again, note that nowhere, nowhere in the Constitution of the United States is a vote on appointments mandated."
Same is true for cabinet appointments, ambassadors, etc. To read it the way Byrd does, the Senate could emasculate the office of president.

"Minorites have an illustrious past full of suffering, torture, smear and even death." A member of the Ku Klux Klan actually had the NERVE to make the above statement!? Paging George Orwell!!

But hey, if Teddy can get away with vitriole without being censured, why would Byrd worry about any repercussions?Because they know the Republicans don't have the guts to do it.

"right of extended debate" Right of extended debate??? I think 4 years of minority obstructionist tactics is quite long enough.
