Robert Byrd Puts on His Sheet

Sen. Robert Byrd, D-WV, plans to lead the effort to block the nomination of Condoleezza Rice for Secretary of State.

This move by Sen. Byrd is merely an expression of latent racist tendencies which have been suppressed of necessity. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was successful at changing the hearts and minds of Americans. But the leaders of the segregationists like Byrd (a former KKK recruiter) merely went into hiding under the force of a dramatic change of heart in this country.

Let's be honest Sen. Byrd: to block the nomination of Condoleezza Rice under cover of general Democrat disagreements against the war makes your racist tendencies no less transparent to us who know she will be a brilliant and capable leader of our foreign service corps.
