Senator Robert "KKK" Byrd.

Why does Senator Robert Byrd, a "former" member of the Ku Klux Klan and current Democrat, keep getting elected by the people of West Virginia?

Mr. Byrd's recent comments on the senate floor where he compared senate Republicans to Hitler was just one more stupid statement in a long line of stupid statements from Byrd.

Senator Byrd's comments were as follows: "Hitler's originality lay in his realization that effective revolutions in modern conditions are carried out with, and not without, not against, the power of the State. The correct order of events was first to secure access to that power of the State, and then begin his revolution. Hitler never abandoned the cloak of legality. He never abandoned the cloak of legality. He recognized the enormous, psychological value of having the law on his side. Instead, he turned the law inside out and made his illegality legal. And that is what the nuclear option seeks to do. To Rule 22 of the standing rules of the Senate."

So because senate Republicans support the constitution and the "advise and consent" clause when it comes to appointing judges and are against the unconstitutionality of the filibuster to stop the "consent" part of "advise and consent" they are Nazis?

Do you have any idea what it's like being called a Nazi by Robert "KKK" Byrd?

It's like being called immoral by Bill Clinton. It's like being called a racist by Andrew "I Murder Indians for Fun" Jackson. It's like being called stiff by Al Gore. Or being called a traitor by John "Benedict Arnold" Kerry.

It's time Senator Byrd retired. He's an embarassment to the U.S. Senate. He's an embarassment to the United States. He's a racist (not a term I use lightly) and a bigot. And as long as the Democrats in the Senate (or Democrats in general, for that matter) keep silent on Byrd's idiotic comments, they are saying it's okay to have a Ku Klux Klan wing of the Democratic Party. I wish Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada would stand up to Byrd and say "You went too far, Bob." But he won't. Like most Democrats in leadership positions, Reid doesn't care what you say as long as you have that "D" next to your name.
