THE HYPOCRITICAL LYING DEMOCRATS

President Clinton gave a glowing and apologetic eulogy to the late Senator Byrd. His lying comments were as follows:
"He once had a fleeting association with the Ku Klux Klan, what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means. He was a country boy from the hills and hollows from West Virginia. He was trying to get elected," former President Bill Clinton said of Sen. Robert Byrd.

"And maybe he did something he shouldn't have done come and he spent the rest of his life making it up. And that's what a good person does. There are no perfect people. There are certainly no perfect politicians," he added.

Let’s discuss his “fleeting association” as President Clinton described it. I think this falls into the classification of what the definition of “is” is.
1. Senator Byrd was a recruiter for the KKK while in his twenties and thirties. By my reasoning, this is about ten years. I guess if you’re a Democrat this could be called a “fleeting” period of time.
2. Senator Byrd achieved the title of Kleagle. What is a Kleagle? A Kleagle is a KKK officer commissioned to recruit new members.
3. He later rose to the rank of Exalted Cyclops. What is an Exalted Cyclops? He is the leader of the klavern (a local unit of the KKK) i.e., den leader.

Now let’s discuss President Clinton’s statement “he spent the rest of his life making it up.” I suppose that this statement requires a definition just as “is” did. The following items are ways in which he spent the rest of his life making it up.
1. Byrd claimed he left the KKK in 1943. He was born in 1917. This made him 27 years old at the time – a direct contradiction to point one above.
2. In 1946 he wrote a letter to the Klan’s Imperial Wizard that the Klan was needed now more than ever – he is now 29 years old.

3. When he won his election in 1958, he defended the Klan and “he personally felt the Klan had been incorrectly blamed for many acts committed by others.” He is now forty one years old.

4. He voted against two black Supreme Court nominees: Marshall and Thomas.
5. He filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – he was now 47 years old.
6. In 2001 he used the phrase “white niggers” on a television broadcast – now age 84.

7. The NAACP gave him a 100% rating during the 108th Congress – 2003-2005. I guess this meant that he finally supported African Americans. He is now 86-88 years old.
I suppose he spent the last four to six years of his life “making it up” as President Clinton says.

Now let’s discuss Clintons comment “He was trying to get elected.” What does this tell you about the Democrats? They will, lie, steal, cheat and say anything to get elected. Clinton did a good job of personifying the true Democrat and Senator Byrd was an excellent example of the same.
