(ap) - First, let�s look at what the �Free Press�
made out to be one of the most Controversial Statements ever made in Modern
American Politics, so much so, that the AP had a Wire Story on it everyday for
(2) weeks straight:
Senator Trent Lott (R) @ a 100th Birthday Party Roasting of Strom Thurmond: "I
want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted
for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our
lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either."
Strom Thurmond was never a Member of the KKK, but did happen to beat Robert Byrd
(D-KKK) out for the longest Filibuster in History when they both spent over 10
hours each Standing Against Civil Rights for Blacks as Senators in the United
States Congress in 1964.
In his Career, prior to the 70�s, Thurmond was most Definitely a Racist,
Segregationist Bigot, although he Fathered an Illegitimate Black Child in 1925
to a Girl who many in Close Contact Agree, Strom had a Special Affection for.
Now let�s look at Comparable Praise of Byrd (D-KKK) by Senator Dodd (D), but
this Praise was �On the Record� and from the Senate Floor, not at a 100th
Birthday Roast:
Senator Chris Dodd (D): "It has often been said that the man and the moment come
together. I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from
West Virginia that he would have been a great Senator at any moment. Some were
right for the time. Robert C. Byrd, in my view, would have been right at any
time. He would have been right at the founding of this country. He would have
been in the leadership crafting this Constitution. He would have been right
during the great conflict of civil war in this Nation. He would have been right
at the great moments of international threat we faced in the 20th century. I
cannot think of a single moment in this Nation's 220-plus year history where he
would not have been a valuable asset to this country. Certainly today that is
not any less true."
A little History about the Senior DemocRAT in the Senate from West Virginia, and
who the �Free Press� Lovingly Refers to as �The Conscience of the Senate��
Byrd (D-KKK) Avoided Fighting in WWII, instead he was here @ Home Recruiting,
and very well I might add, new Members for the KKK starting in his mid-20's.
Byrd Claims it was the Folly of Youth, his Membership in the KKK, but is almost
30 years of Age still Excused by "Youth"?...
A Handwritten Letter to the KKK Imperial Wizard in 1946, after Byrd Claims to
have Left the KKK: "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious
to see its rebirth here in West Virginia."
But let's Fast Forward to this Millennium, shall we... 2001 to be exact:
"I think we talk about race too much. I think those problems are largely behind
us ... I just think we talk so much about it that we help to create somewhat of
an illusion. I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, 'Robert, you
can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white
niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that
word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and
I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."
A side note, Byrd's Dear Old Mom was Married to a KKK Member... Apparently the
KKK isn't a �Hate� Group according to the Byrd Klan.
To the Topic, Byrd was Stating as a matter of Fact, that there are Niggers... He
wanted to Clarify that not only are their Black Niggers, but to many People's
Surprise, Apparently there are also White Niggers.
This was in 2001... Not 1946.
This was on a Nationally Televised Political Program in his Official Capacity,
not @ a Birthday Roast, nor was it back during his Glorious Days as an Effective
Recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan.
Hell, in the 40's he used "Negro"... One would Assume that he's become More
Racist, not Less if he�s now tossin� around �Nigger� in Official Interviews when
Referring to other Human Beings.
He Simply Veils it better now, and sometimes let's it all Slip out.
Now, why was there almost no Outrage about Byrd�s (D-KKK) �White Niggers�
Comment in his Official Capacity in 2001, either by Elected Officials, Black
Organizations or the �Free Press�, but Lott�s (R) Roasting Comments at Strom�s
100th Birthday, which had no Specific Reference to DixiecRATS or Segregation
Sparked weeks of Controversy from the �Free Press�?�
Combine that with a much more Specific Praise of Byrd (D-KKK) by Dodd (D) from
the Senate Floor, but in the same manner as Lott meant it, and again you have
almost no Outrage or even Coverage of the Comments, which were Arguably more
Specific than Lott�s�
The simple Answer is that the �Outrage� over Lott�s Comments were made into a
Controversy by the very �Free Press� that all but Ignored Byrd�s (D-KKK)
Obviously Racist, �There are White Niggers� Circa 2001, and Dodd�s Praise of the
Former KKK Grand Kleagle from the Senate Floor as Plausibly �right during the
great conflict of civil war in this Nation.�, and Dodd could not, �think of a
single moment in this Nation's 220-plus year history where he would not have
been a valuable asset to this country.�, is Reflective of their Blatant Bias to
their own Party, regardless of how Ridiculous or Patently Racist the Offense is
that they are Ignoring.
