On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

Hamas aren't a terrorist group. They are fighting against the vicious persecution and extermination of the Palestinian people by an occupying fascist regime.

Afghanistan was nothing like Vietnam. It's posts like this that make me doubt your service in the military.

You are truly a turd bird. That picture of Byrd is photo-shopped. I'm really surprised you didn't bring up Byron White.

(of course you don't know who he is, have your mommy google him for you.

This long and your ADHD will kick in, have your mommy read it to you.
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.[12][11]

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."[12] Byrd became a recruiter and leader of his chapter.[12] When it came time to elect the top officer (Exalted Cyclops) in the local Klan unit, Byrd won unanimously.[12]

In 1946, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo:[17]

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
—Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1946[12][18][19]

In 1946, Byrd wrote a letter to a Grand Wizard stating, "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."[20] However, when running for the United States House of Representatives in 1952, he announced "After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization. During the nine years that have followed, I have never been interested in the Klan." He said he had joined the Klan because he felt it offered excitement and was anti-communist.[12] But Byrd's friend and fellow Klansman Democratic Senator Theodore G. Bilbo told Meet the Press, "No man can leave the Klan. He takes an oath not to do that. Once a Ku Klux, always a Ku Klux."[21] Byrd never provided any corroboration for his claim to have quit.

In 1997, Byrd told an interviewer he would encourage young people to become involved in politics but also warned, "Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don't get that albatross around your neck. Once you've made that mistake, you inhibit your operations in the political arena."[22] In his last autobiography, Byrd explained that he was a KKK member because he "was sorely afflicted with tunnel vision — a jejune and immature outlook — seeing only what I wanted to see because I thought the Klan could provide an outlet for my talents and ambitions."[23] 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."[12]

Now lets look at when his Senate leadership was:

Robert Carlyle Byrd (born Cornelius Calvin Sale, Jr.; November 20, 1917 – June 28, 2010) was a United States Senator from West Virginia. A member of the Democratic Party, Byrd served as a U.S. Representative from 1953 until 1959 and as a U.S. Senator from 1959 to 2010. He was the longest-serving U.S. Senator and, at the time of his death, the longest-serving member in the history of the United States Congress.[3][4][5][6] (In June 2013, his record was surpassed by U.S. Representative John Dingell of Michigan).[7] Byrd, however, still holds the record as the longest-serving member of Congress to serve in both houses.

Initially elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1952, Byrd served there for six years before being elected to the Senate in 1958. He rose to become one of the Senate's most powerful members, serving as secretary of the Senate Democratic Caucus from 1967 to 1971 and—after defeating his longtime colleague, Ted Kennedy—as Senate Majority Whip from 1971 to 1977. Byrd led the Democratic caucus as Senate Majority Leader from 1977 to 1981 and 1987 to 1989, and as Senate Minority Leader from 1981 to 1987. From 1989 to 2010 he served as the President pro tempore of the United States Senate when the Democratic Party had a majority, and as President pro tempore emeritus during periods of Republican majority beginning in 2001.[8] As President pro tempore, he was third in the line of presidential succession, behind the Vice President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. He also served as the Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations from 1989 to 1995, 2001 to 2003, and 2007 to 2009, giving him extraordinary influence over federal spending.

Byrd's seniority and leadership of the Appropriations Committee enabled him to steer a great deal of federal money toward projects in West Virginia.[9] Critics derided his efforts as pork spending[10] to appeal to his own constituents. He filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and supported the Vietnam War, but later backed civil rights measures and criticized the Iraq War.

You freaking moron - he pushed through ALL the equality legislation you hate!

Race
Portrait of Byrd as Majority Leader

Late in his life, Byrd explicitly renounced his earlier views favoring racial segregation.[55][56] Byrd said that he regretted filibustering and voting against the Civil Rights Act of 1964[57] and would change it if he had the opportunity. He said joining the KKK was "the greatest mistake I ever made."[55] Byrd also said that his views changed dramatically after his teenage grandson was killed in a 1982 traffic accident, which put him in a deep emotional valley. "The death of my grandson caused me to stop and think," said Byrd, adding he came to realize that African-Americans love their children as much as he does his.[58]

Byrd was the only senator to vote against both Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas to the United States Supreme Court, the only two African-American nominees. In the former instance, Byrd asked FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to look into what Byrd believed to be the possibility that Marshall had either connections to communists or had a communist past.[59] In the latter instance, Byrd stated that he was offended by Thomas' use of the phrase "high-tech lynching of uppity blacks" in his defense and that he was "offended by the injection of racism" into the hearing. He called Thomas' comments a "diversionary tactic" and said "I thought we were past that stage." Regarding Anita Hill's sexual harassment charges against Thomas, Byrd supported Hill.[60] Byrd joined 45 other Democrats in voting against confirming Thomas to the Supreme Court.[61]

For the 2003–2004 session, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)[62] rated Byrd's voting record as being 100 percent in line with the NAACP's position on the 33 Senate bills they evaluated. 16 other senators received that rating. In June 2005, Byrd proposed an additional $10 million in federal funding for the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C., remarking that, "With the passage of time, we have come to learn that his Dream was the American Dream, and few ever expressed it more eloquently."[63]

In a March 4, 2001 interview with Tony Snow, Byrd said of race relations:

They're much, much better than they've ever been in my lifetime ... 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, if you want 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.[64]

Byrd's use of the term "white nigger" created immediate controversy. When asked about it, Byrd responded,

I apologize for the characterization I used on this program ... The phrase dates back to my boyhood and has no place in today's society ... In my attempt to articulate strongly held feelings, I may have offended people.[64]

Re “Afghan Uproar Casts Shadows on U.S. Pullout” (front page, Feb. 27):

“Vietnamization” was all the rage for the defenders of American intervention in Vietnam. Yes, we’ll pull out as soon as we’ve armed and trained our Vietnamese friends. Except that these corrupt friends were a small minority of the people, as is always the case when a major power intervenes in a civil war on the unpopular side. As soon as it withdraws, its side collapses.

The same mistake is being made in Afghanistan. We’re going to train and arm the local population and then we can withdraw. And of course, as soon as we withdraw, our corrupt supporters will get crushed.

Once again, it looks as if we’re determined to learn nothing from history. If we had, we would have left a long time ago.

In short Hamas rescues a kidnapped British journalist, whilst Israel kidnaps, tortures and murders British soldiers. I know who the terrorists are, you don't. You're a moron.

Does your mother have to bring you in out of the rain. You admitted you hang in racist web-sites. Thankyou for proving my point.

I can see that this source is a hate the Jews website.

McCain is a real American hero and not for his five years captivity. He walked through fire to save lives on an aircraft carrier during an ordnance mishap suffering second and third degree burns. I got to see the in time tapes when I was in the Navy during fire control classes in '72 when according to Bladimo I wasn't in the service.

He's had his moments, but at least McCain realizes how much the Tea Party hates the GOP. Every real Republican HATES the Tea Party.

Republicans Try to Fix Damage Scalise’s 2002 Speech Could Do in 2016
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/31/us/politics/scalises-speech-to-white-supremacist-group-clouds-republicans-plans.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&bicmp=AD&bicmlukp=WT.mc_id&bicmst=1409232722000&bicmet=1419773522000&_r=1&smtyp=cur&bicmp=AD&bicmlukp=WT.mc_id&bicmst=1409232722000&bicmet=1419773522000&_r=0

WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders, poised for a celebratory takeover of Congress next week, instead found themselves scrambling Tuesday to defuse a racially charged controversy over one lawmaker’s speech a decade ago to a white supremacist group.

After staying silent Monday when news broke that Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the third-ranking House Republican, had appeared before a group called the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, Speaker John A. Boehner and the majority leader, Representative Kevin McCarthy, on Tuesday afternoon issued coordinated statements of support for Mr. Scalise, who acknowledged “regret” and said he had made a mistake.

“More than a decade ago, Representative Scalise made an error in judgment, and he was right to acknowledge it was wrong and inappropriate,” Mr. Boehner said, adding, “He has my full confidence as our whip, and he will continue to do great and important work for all Americans.”

The controversy erupted as Republicans were making a renewed effort to reach out to black voters. It threatened to cloud their agenda after capturing control of the Senate and adding to their House majority in last month’s election. Republicans anticipated using their new power to focus on economic growth and potentially find areas of common ground with President Obama, both elements of a broader push to demonstrate that the party can govern at a time when lawmaking in Washington has all but come to a halt...

“Everybody there knew EURO was putting it on, and David Duke was the national president of EURO,” said Corey Ortis, a Louisiana representative for the European-American Unity and Rights Organization from 2000 to 2004 who attended the conference. “You don’t go to a James Brown concert and not know it’s James Brown. It is what it is. But I can see why Steve Scalise would say he didn’t remember very much.”

I said no such thing Bob. That is you saying that to perpetuate the lies you tell with almost every post.

And do you see where Izzy is hanging? Besides between Islam legs.

First off there was no civil war in Afghanistan. Are you seriously trying to state that the Taliban were popular in Afghanistan and that those who opposed them were the unpopular minority? You support these statements and you doubt my honesty? I'll admit the military comment was a cheap shot and I apologize. I should have questioned your memory. I've posted pic's from Pakistan and Afghanistan when I was there, I don't have to prove anything more. I've even listed my real name so you can check me out on fb. I was already a member on this board when I deployed and I'm sure some of the old time A2K folks will remember when I went.

This same Vietnam BS was played while we were still in Iraq. You lefties love to equate all US military actions as "just like Vietnam". It's gotten old and tired and it's a desperate reach to make some sort of stupid point. The only thing Vietnam and Afghanistan have in common is the anti-war sentiment driven by the left. The only difference today is that they aren't spitting on soldiers when they come home.

There you go again. On about someone's sausage. Why don't just go suck one and get over it. You just might like it and maybe we'd never, ever have to hear about it again.
