True or not, it's still a "yeahbut" deflection from the overtly racist Byrd.
It's not a deflection. I called Byrd's actions wrong and you know well enough from elsewhere that I've said he should resign over them. However, to sit and paint all Democrats with this while you've had an active white supremacist as your party's Senate leader in the past decade and one of top contenders for your party's nomination in 2012 is a member of the same white supremacist group, it's hypocrisy of the highest degree.
