You can pretend that liberals are responsible for all the good in the world, and conservatives are responsible for all the evil -- but you just look like an idiot when you do.
Of course you're bigoted against conservatives. But you refuse to take responsibility for yourself, and instead assign blame to me.I am not bigoted...you're just thick as a brick.
I never claimed it was. I said if it benefits you, that's just gravy. I have my family to take care of. I'm not responsible for yours. And you're not responsible for mine.

How's that workin' out for ya?
and alpha1... unlike you, I will admit when I have erred. I had always thought that during Byrd's brief two year association with the KKK, he had only reached the position of kleagle. But, in fact, he had become the exalted cyclops for his local klavern. Nonetheless, he quit the klan after only two years and his life's journey saw him come to renounce the racism that had been a part of his earlier life.
It is interesting to note that, in the kkk, every klavern, and there were many klaverns thoughout the south back in those days, had an exalted cyclops. All the exalted cyclopses in a given county or other small geographical area of a state reported to a Grand Giant, or provincial leader, and they all reported to a Grand Dragon, or state director; and they all reported to the Grand Wizard, or national chair. Below the Cyclops on the org chart were the Grand Magi, the Grand Monk, the Grand Exchequer, the Grand Turk, and, finally, the rank-and-file members known as Ghouls or Knights. The Exalted Cyclops' responsibilities included presiding over Klavern meetings, initiating new members, and appointing Councils of Centaurs—that's Klan-speak for a jury—to try and punish wayward Ghouls. Sounds like a shriner's club to me!
and I find it interesting to note that even the KKK didn't think so much about Byrd's brief association, either. "He wasn't a Klansman long enough to get his sheet broke in," said Travis Pierce, national membership director for the Ku Klux Klan, "It's much ado about nothing."
but clearly, it is to YOU
and clearly, you want to continue to define the democrats of today as the democrats of yesterday... and republicans of yesterday as the republicans of today.... you want to take us back to a time when blacks in America voted for republican candidates overwhelmingly and when democrats were shunned by blacks as being the party of Jim Crow. Oddly enough, blacks in America ain't buyin' that line of bullshit anymore. They KNOW how the tables have turned. They KNOW which party is the party of racism today and they vote overwhelmingly for the other guys.
You can scream about how Byrd was once a klansman at the top of your lungs... blacks in America don't care to listen. They got guys like YOU all figured out.... sorry.

A passing association with the Klan is just like a passing association with the American Nazi Party or joining Al Qaeda, seriously, what's the big Deal?

good question.. maybe you can explain why the leader of YOUR party in the United States Senate said, in 2002, that America would be a better place TODAY if we had elected a racist segregationist in 1948 instead of Harry Truman.
I'll wait.

Harry Truman was a socialist?
