When is it ok to be a Klansman and help promote racism? According to Bill Clinton, when one is trying to get elected as a Democrat. Speaking about White Sheets Byrd, Clinton tried to continue to white wash Robert Byrd’s association with the Klan saying, no joke, “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.” He also added, “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.”
Yeah Willie, you know all about the later don’t you? Robert Byrd a good person? Ok, riddle me this Batman. What “good person” spends his entire adult life in public service stripping the American people of liberty after liberty and sending tax payer dollars unconstitutionally from other states back to his home state so that he can get his name on everything from highways to outhouses?
A good person? No. Certainly not. But this is what liberals and other sorts who cannot be bothered to speak the truth always do. They always call even the most vile among us “good” and hope that enough people will believe the lie. The hope that with time they will forget the evils that those they have put on pedestals have perpetrated. ”Good” people don’t do the things that Robert Byrd did. Not by a long shot.
The man was a cad.
Yes, he did publicly call joining the Klan the worst mistake he ever made but only because he has spent his entire life having his true views plain for anyone to see. Had he thought it out better he would have just kept his heinous views to himself and never joined the Klan and shown people exactly how he thought. Doubt me? It was in 1997 that let this slip when he said, “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.” In private he let his true views known when he wrote to a Grand Wizard, “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.”
When you want to know what people truly think don’t listen to what they say in public. Listen to what they say when the camera is off. Heck the man just didn’t join the Klan! He recruited 150 others to join it! Not only that but he was elected Exalted Cyclops of his local Klan unit! He was the head honcho of the racist Klannies; the leader of the local marching band!
No matter how much Slick Willie tries, the facts are the Robert Byrd was just following in the long and storied tradition of liberals and Democrats past. He embraced racists and spent much of his political career denying who and what he was. It doesn’t mean he wasn’t who he was, just that he didn’t want to talk about it because the truth would cause problems.
