Relic Of Democrats' Racist Heritage Returns To Senate Job Following Illness

Democratic Party Senator Robert Byrd, above.

Below: Just to remind y'all of where he's coming from, and of the fact that the Democratic Party itself brought forth the racist Ku Klux Klan and has never apologized or anything for having done so.

Yes. The Democratic Party, the party of Obama today. Believe it or not.

They've got a Klanner amongst their ranks even today.


Michelle Malkin talks about Democratic Senator Robert Byrd's racism.

Flashback to March 2001...

Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.

The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes.

The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox News Sunday morning talk show host Tony Snow about the state of race relations in America. Sen. Byrd warned: "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."

The ex-Klansman, famed for Beltway blowhardism, should have quit talking a lot sooner. Why any prominent politician in his right mind would publicly and deliberately use the poisonous epithet "nigger" -- which most daily newspapers refuse to spell out, no matter the context -- is beyond comprehension. It's an open question as to whether the rant-prone, 83-year-old Byrd is even in his right mind, but senility doesn't excuse bigotry.

That was just eight years ago. How come back then there were no consequences? Oh, right... because Democrats are allowed to be racists. When they say the n-word, it's all "nothing to see here, folks... move along".

If this ex-Klansman were a conservative Republican, he would never hear the end of his sordid past. "Ex-Klansman who opposed civil rights and black justices" would appear in every reference to Sen. Byrd. And even the "ex-" would be in doubt. Maxine Waters and Ralph Neas and Julianne Malveaux and Al Sharpton and all the other left-wing bloodhounds who sniff racism in every crevice of American life would be barking up a storm over Sen. Byrd's latest fulminations. Instead, the attack dogs are busy decrying latent racial bigotry where it doesn't exist, while the real thing roams wild and free in their own political backyard.

Again we're reminded of who the real racists are. Leftists. Liberals. "Progressives".

Of course, Obama gets away with being racist. Just as former "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones gets away with being racist.

It shouldn't come as any surprise that there's a massive culture of denial as to Obama's racism, as, after all, there's also a mass-delusion social imperative amongst "Progressives" that, oh, come on, Sen. Byrd is a Democrat, so he can't possibly be racist anymore, so let's all trust him, just 'cause he's a Democrat and a presumed "Progressive" just because of this affiliation.

Anyone who publicly adheres to everything within the "Progressive" dogma imperative at the moment will automatically be excused for being racist. No wonder the Democratic Party is so full of racists of all sizes, shapes and colors!

Being a Democrat, a Liberal, a "Progressive", etc., obviously, albeit falsely and wrongly, excuses one's racism.

And that's wrong! Why isn't it being stopped?
