Hillary Clinton mentor: West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd organized a 150-member chapter of the Klan

[S.J.]

Yep- nothing converts African Americans to voting GOP like having Contards like you tell African Americans that they are all just so fucking stupid that they are all still slaves.

Not all, just the ones who willingly give up their freedom to the enslavement of government dependency. Stop lying about what I said.

Want to know why African Americans vote Democrat.

Because Democrats don't African Americans ignorant idiots like you do.

Would you like to give us that in English?

Donald Trump spreads claim that Hillary Clinton's 'mentor' was 'KKK member' - CNNPolitics.com

Byrd helped organize a 150-member chapter of the Klan in Sophia, West Virginia, in the early 1940s. (He was group leader.)

Byrd wrote in his autobiography that he "reflected the fears and prejudices" of those years and that he mainly joined the Klan because he identified with the hate group's anti-Communist politics.

I'm from the South, grew up in a Southern home ... and it was that Southern atmosphere in which I grew up and with all of its prejudices and its feelings."
Byrd told Bash he considered his involvement with the KKK "the greatest mistake of my life." He said he hoped young people learned from the mistakes of his youth.
He even went so far as to apologize to then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2005 for his Klan membership.

Many times, right wingers try to tie the Democrats to the KKK. Especially Sen. Robert Byrd. They go on as if he hadn't been born and raised in the deep south with all it's confederate prejudices. They ignore his regrets as he grew older and understood what a terrible mistake he made. Belonging to that odious southern and prejudice right wing conservative and now oh so Republican organization.

And with the KKK's endorsement of Donald J. Trump for the GOP, gone are the days the GOP can lay that odious organization at the feet of the Democratic Party.



At the same time, I can't seem to figure out why conservative Republicans try to rewrite history that Lincoln was a confederate conservative and the KKK is made up of Democrats. We know what happened in the 1960's that changed party membership.

It's not a claim. It's a FACT that Hillary's mentor was a high ranking KKK member.

Once again for you slow kids, it's a fact that the Klan was disbanded, "repealing all degrees, vacating all offices, voiding all charters and relieving every Klansman of any obligation whatever", in 1944. That's still before Hillary was even born.

Yet Byrd didn't stop paying his Klan dues until 1952. Was he sending money to an organization that no longer existed?

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.

— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944

In 1946, Byrd wrote a letter to a Grand Wizard stating, "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."

In 1946, Byrd wrote a letter to a Grand Wizard stating, "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."

And the word "rebirth" doesn't jump up and send you a clue, huh Junior?

As I said -- the organization was disbanded in 1944. April 23rd to be exact, with all its officers vacated.

Byrd's own memory was: ""After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization", after describing himself as "23 or 24" at the time. Byrd was born in 1917, which would make that between 1940 and '42 at the time he got recruited. What that means is that your "stopped paying his dues" malarkey works just fine for the year 1942 for an organization which then existed, while it doesn't work at all for 1952 for an organization which didn't.*

And again for a point of reference -- Hillary Rodham wasn't born until 1947.

Linear time. It's what's for dinner.


(* "paying dues" was in fact what that Simmons Klan was all about --- opportunism milking money off of national xenophobia by selling "memberships", robes and other paraphernalia. Simmons and his PR people cleaned up on playing the fears of the unwashed, tailoring its hatemongering toward unions, or drunks, or blacks, or Jews, or Catholics --- whatever would sell in that particular community.)

NAACP Mourns the Passing of U.S. Senator Robert Byrd | Press Room

"Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation," stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. "Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.

"Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card. He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation," stated Hilary O. Shelton, Director of the NAACP Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy. "Senator Byrd was a master of the Senate Rules, and helped strategize passage of legislation that helped millions of Americans. He will be sorely missed."

Blacks who are willing to work for a living to make something of themselves and don't want to be punished for leaving the Democrat welfare plantation should vote for Donald Trump.

What have you got to lose????






Everything!

you claim to live in Chicago

go into the heights, take an honest look at what you have done to them and then understand they have nothing to lose

Because right wing Republicans have worked for generations to bring poor people out of poverty. Look at the great job they did in Appalachia:

The wonderful job they did in West Virginia:

In fact, the GOP has done an amazing job all over the Deep South for the last couple of hundred years. Here are the ten poorest states in the United States.

50. Mississippi – Median household income: $39,680 Poverty rate: 21.5%
49. West Virginia – Median household income: $41,059 Poverty rate: 18.3%
48. Arkansas – Median household income: $41,262 Poverty rate: 18.9%
47. Alabama – Median household income: $42,830 Poverty rate: 19.3%
46. Kentucky – Median household income: $42,958 Poverty rate: 19.1%
45. Tennessee – Median household income: $44,361 Poverty rate: 18.3%
44. Louisiana – Median household income: $44,555 Poverty rate: 19.8%
43. New Mexico – Median household income: $44,803 Poverty rate: 21.3%
42. South Carolina – Median household income: $45,238 Poverty rate: 18.0%
41. Montana – Median household income: $46,328 Poverty rate: 15.4%
40. North Carolina – Median household income: $46,556 Poverty rate: 17.2%

Glad you care so much about a few cities. Considering how awful it's been for Republicans controlling the most poverty driven states in the Union.

The gop doesn't force people onto welfare.

If people want to live country, they can, you don't have to like the way they live.

WV is hard up b/c of the left uneducated hate for coal.


whats the murder rate in those states compared to the Heights?

how come poor cons aren't murdering each other at a high rate?

and, again, it's not a political parties job to tend to people like they are children. Thats the lefts bigotry, they 'know' blacks can't make it on their own.

"live country"? That's what "live country" means to you?

Byrd helped organize a 150-member chapter of the Klan in Sophia, West Virginia, in the early 1940s. (He was group leader.)

Byrd wrote in his autobiography that he "reflected the fears and prejudices" of those years and that he mainly joined the Klan because he identified with the hate group's anti-Communist politics.

I'm from the South, grew up in a Southern home ... and it was that Southern atmosphere in which I grew up and with all of its prejudices and its feelings."
Byrd told Bash he considered his involvement with the KKK "the greatest mistake of my life." He said he hoped young people learned from the mistakes of his youth.
He even went so far as to apologize to then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2005 for his Klan membership.

Many times, right wingers try to tie the Democrats to the KKK. Especially Sen. Robert Byrd. They go on as if he hadn't been born and raised in the deep south with all it's confederate prejudices. They ignore his regrets as he grew older and understood what a terrible mistake he made. Belonging to that odious southern and prejudice right wing conservative and now oh so Republican organization.

And with the KKK's endorsement of Donald J. Trump for the GOP, gone are the days the GOP can lay that odious organization at the feet of the Democratic Party.



At the same time, I can't seem to figure out why conservative Republicans try to rewrite history that Lincoln was a confederate conservative and the KKK is made up of Democrats. We know what happened in the 1960's that changed party membership.

It's not a claim. It's a FACT that Hillary's mentor was a high ranking KKK member.

Once again for you slow kids, it's a fact that the Klan was disbanded, "repealing all degrees, vacating all offices, voiding all charters and relieving every Klansman of any obligation whatever", in 1944. That's still before Hillary was even born.

Yet Byrd didn't stop paying his Klan dues until 1952. Was he sending money to an organization that no longer existed?

"Until 1952" Right in the upper time zone that Con-servatives are living in.

"Was"....that is a past tense verb....as the GOP and con-servatives are living in the Past.

Yeah, by the same logic, Hillary was a Republican.

Well, in Hillary's words, he left "such a legacy", it's difficult not to. I am sure Hillary will be using his teachings to beat up on the black people residing in the democrat plantation.

That one's got his own time zone. Can't tell the difference between 1952 and 1942.
