Growing up in the middle of the civil rights movement in Mississppi, this just seems surreal to me.

Keep an eye on Obama though. He is the golden boy of the Democrats.

Some vietnamese chick in my office told my old boss:

You turned out alright for being half-black

People R Teh Dumb.

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

I keep trying to make a funny retort to that but they all fall short. It's its own punchline.

Uh oh. Now Cedarford might have to withdraw his support for Byrd.

Senator Robert Byrd was one of the first senators I met with when I came to the Senate 3 months ago.

Byrd must've passed him on his way past the "colored" fountain.

The Warden, no, I think it was when Bryd gave Obama his coat and umbrella and said "check that for me, will ya boy? And bring me a scotch on the rocks. Much obliged."

The funny thing is that Byrd could defuse 90 percent of the heat he takes for being a former Kleagle (or whatever eminence he achieved) if he'd just apologize and say he was wrong. Kerry could've done the same thing with Vietnam, Winter Soldier, and all the rest back in the primaries.

Americans are mostly nice, non-vindictive people with a major streak of self-righteousness; we love to forgive sinners. Unfortunately, the only politician who's even begun to grasp that fact is Bill Clinton.

Well, what do you expect? The post-Clinton Donk is incapable of shame.

Joking aside, does anyone in the media have the guts to ask Osamabama if he thinks Byrd ought to apologize for his membership in the Klan?

And maybe Clarence Thomas should point to this boot-licking letter the next time someone calls him an "Uncle Tom." I'd just love to hear him say, "Well, at least I don't kiss ass to former Klansmen."

The fact that Obama knows that Byrd was in the KKK 50 years ago, and forgives him for it, seems to me to be the American way. Yes, Byrd has certainly apologized for it, and has certainly discussed the topic before. People change. Obama didn't have the best start in life either, but he is now a Senator. What's not to like about changing for the better? Yet all some people can do is make jokes insinuating that he still harbors the same views? Interesting.

Bullseye, Warden. I hadn't even thought of making the comparison to Thomas's treatment.

BTW, I hope nobody thinks I'm nice enough to forgive Byrd. Personally, I'd like to reward him for his years of service by moving him to a new post--Senate Office Building doorman, maybe. He could stand out by the curb in a big coat with brass buttons, and every day as Byrd held the door for him, Obama could say, "Morning, Admiral," and tip
him with a shiny new quarter.

be ready, because this guy has been groomed from day 1 by the dems and the MSM to be hillary's running mate

obama, not byrd

though that would be great

The Hildebeast and Obamasama?

Well, if there was still any doubt that the Donks have written the South off completely, there ya go.

Imagine this scenario:

Hildabeast/Obamasama

vs.

Condi/Sen. Martinez

Who does Cedarford vote for?

My guess? A write in ballot for George Lincoln Rockwell.

Yes, Byrd has certainly apologized for it, and has certainly discussed the topic before.

Erik,

I'm not letting you get away with that. Byrd has not apologized other than to call his membership a mistake.

If you say otherwise, provide the link.

The Warden, right. As I told Erik on my blog, Byrd just in recent years said to an interviewer " I have known some white niggers, you know what I mean?"

Come on.

But Osamabamalama is so important to the Donks. He's the first black senator that WASN'T a racist republican.

Obama sure is lucky that folks like you are here to decide what black men should think.

Thanks, I try. I really do.

Gee. I missed the part where we were telling Obama what to think. Ace, have you been editing again???

I suppose you deleted where we told Hispanics what to think too!

I mean really!!! How can we brainwash if you censor us????

It's all my fault.

One could argue that orders for black thinking and behavior come directly from the DNC.

Show me the headers if was electoric transmitted or show me the mailing envelope or other source. MoveOnPAC site does not appear to have this letter.

I don't have the actual email. I have this from a source who is not likely to commit gross errors.

Possible, I suppose. But not likely.

Howard - you forgot Carol Moseley Braun (also from Illinois...what is it about Illinois, anyway?) I imagine they'd rather forget her as well, though. She wasn't up to much and her charisma was minimal.

Carol Mostly Fraud was very humble, but then she had a lot to be humble about.

Hey, where's Erik? I'm still waiting for that link to Byrd's apology. I'm sure a liberal would never simply assert something as fact without it being true.

The Warden, now, now. Erik is actually very nice. I don't think he is actually a liberal. He is finding his way....;-)
We need to focus on pulling him over from the dark side. If he can't find the link he will come back and say he didn't. Thats how I know he's not really a liberal....;-)

"at 87 years old, he's the most senior senator." Typo, it should be senile, oops no, despite age that would be Ted Kennedy. Byrd is the most drunken senator, oops no, that would be Ted Kennedy again, well the biggest jerk off in the senate, oops no that would be Barney Frank, hmmmm, well he is the oldest Klansman in the senate.

I'm thinking he is a liberal based on the false assertion about Byrd, combined with the hypocritical call to forgive and forget - a courtesy liberals only extend to their own kind, combined with the smarmy use of the word, "interesting" to describe our refusal to forgive and forget a politician's membership in a terrorist organization.

'Course I'll take all that back if he pops up again and admits Byrd never apologized. I'm not holding my breath, though.

The fact that Obama knows that Byrd was in the KKK 50 years ago, and forgives him for it, seems to me to be the American way. Yes, Byrd has certainly apologized for it, and has certainly discussed the topic before. People change. Obama didn't have the best start in life either, but he is now a Senator. What's not to like about changing for the better?
Fine, but then the Democrats don't get call the Republicans racists, or call them "Klansmen", or pull any of the other race baiting tricks that are part and parcel of the Democrat poltical arsenal. They don't want to stop talking about it, because they only way then can win elections is to convince black Americans that the Republicans are racists. Apology or no, this is fair game. Americans need to be reminded which party was the party of segregation, and it wasn't the GOP.

"Obama didn't have the best start in life either, but he is now a Senator. "

Was Obama the head of some racist organization in his adulthood? Has he recently used derogatory racial terms in public? If not then what does anyone have to forgive about his "start" in life?
