More evidence of your sickness. Any conspiracy theory that aims at HRC, Obama or anyone on the "other side" for you deserves recognition; meanwhile we're watching trump damaging the USA in real time and you'll apply zero critical thinking to his actions.Quote:

And here is some information on Robert Byrd:

But I'm sure this is just some grand conspiracy that has managed to rope in the likes of YouTube and Wikipedia. Now do what you do best, cwolff, and deflect, deflect, deflect.Quote:
In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to create a new chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Sophia, West Virginia.
According to Byrd, a Klan official told him, "You have a talent for leadership, Bob ... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd later recalled, "Suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did." Byrd became a recruiter and leader of his chapter. When it came time to elect the top officer (Exalted Cyclops) in the local Klan unit, Byrd won unanimously
Honestly I don't get the obessession for Byrd some of you guys have. He disavowed the Klan years ago. There's more to that section you quoted, by the way:Quote:

Byrd also said in 2005, "I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times ... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened."
It's just funny because the argument is the parties "switched" yet actual admitted KKK members like Robert Byrd stayed a Democrat throughout his whole life. You also have the arguments that Trump was "endorsed" by the KKK so this proves Trump is a white supremacist yet Hilary Clinton gets a pass for calling a former KKK grand cyclops her mentor because Byrd is supposedly no longer a white supremacist.Quote:

Then you have people like cwolff who won't even admit that Hillary called a former KKK grand cyclops her mentor and instead refers to it as a "conspiracy theory."

I'm not interested in debating the 'party switch', but how does that outlook jive with David Duke, who switched to the Republican ticket to run for congress in Louisiana?Quote:

David Duke ran as a Democrat long after the supposed switch. Not to mention Duke was never elected into any office, showing once again that Republicans tend to vote against admitted white supremacists and former KKK members, unlike Robert Byrd who was in the US congress until the day he died.Quote:
