Barack Obama Wants You To Support an Ex-Klansman

Sure, he wore the sheets proudly, but he bashes Bush, so all is forgiven.

Dear MoveOn member,

I'm writing today about a senator who needs your urgent support. Senator Robert Byrd was one of the first senators I met with when I came to the Senate 3 months ago. Senator Byrd understands the history, the importance and the role Senate plays in our government--at 87 years old, he's the most senior senator.

He has spoken out passionately against a Bush foreign policy that has alienated our allies throughout the world. Today, he is fighting an attempt by Republicans to change the 200-year old rules of the Senate that would allow Republicans to ram federal judges through the Senate with no regard for what others might say. Above all, Robert Byrd understands just how sacred the Constitution of our country truly is and fights every day to protect it.

Now he needs our help. In 2006, Senator Byrd will be the target of Republicans because he stands up for what he believes.

I want to be sure Robert Byrd is here fighting for us in the Senate. Will you join me in supporting his campaign for re-election, before a critical deadline this Thursday?

You can give online at: [link deleted for obvious reasons; wouldn't want to run afoul of the FEC's rules on "donating" pixels to candidates]

I hope you will give generously to help send Robert Byrd back to the Senate for another term to fight for the Constitution and the freedom of speech we all enjoy.

...

Remember, in order to win back the Senate majority, we need Robert Byrd.

The work you do is extremely important--you and millions of others, working through MoveOn, have helped change the way politics works in this country. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama

A grateful Robert Byrd thanked Barack Obama by saying, "You're one of the 'good ones,' I think... You're definitely 'mixed.' I'm pretty sure you're a quadroon or even an octaroon, which I'm sure you'll be glad to know I consider almost white. Almost."

Yeah... Obama's just as "moderate" as the typical Democrat dubbed "moderate" by the media. I guess he is moderate on that whole silly KKK fooferall.

In related news, Alan Derschowitz is asking people to help support David Irving's brave revelations about the so-called "Holocaust."
