He was also known as the "King of Pork," using top positions on the Senate Appropriations Committee to steer federal spending to his home state -- one of the nation's poorest.

Byrd relished the title.

From CNN. Something else to be proud of.

[Jagermeister]

While he set two endurance records in Congress, he was only proud of one in the end. The other was for his 1964 filibuster against the Civil Rights Act, when he spoke for 14 hours and 13 minutes in an effort to derail the law.

He opposed civil rights when he first ran for office, a stance he came to regret later in life. He blamed "that Southern atmosphere in which I grew up, with all of its prejudices and its feelings," for his opposition to equal rights, which included joining the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s

Well hell if it's good enough for him I can claim that as my reason for being a racist.

Go fuck your self jhale. See it's not my fault.

I'm waiting for these pussies to shut this thread down. Even though we're only ripping on someone else who calls Ns, Ns.

It's OK to call someone an N if you're a Dem.

Just curious, who specifically are you calling a pussy ??

Nothing's being closed, asshole....

I don't think he was directing that at you but I could be wrong.

I got no beef with you. You seam to be fair.

Pussies like Nickdefelch like to close threads they're getting pummeled in, then sometimes go back and post in them. I'm surprised and impressed with the restraint of some of these pussies by not storming to the defense of Robert KKK Byrd, calling US racists, and then closing the thread

[Catfish]

See! The passing and further discussion of Robert KKK Byrd has made being a racist cool again!

Yeah but ya know Va Beach VH Fan did close the other racist rant thread. I had another story I wanted to post in that thread today.

Vagina Beach Van Hagar Fan closed that thread? That was one of the most lively discussions I've seen on this site since I came back!

Well you know I bet Sarge told him to close it. I don't think anyone does anything with out first getting his blessing. Prolly the only reason I am still around is cause Sarge won't let um ban me.

Will Sen. Byrd Finally Apologize?
January 26, 2005

History someday will show the most egregious filibusters where those mounted by Democratic Senator Robert "KKK" Byrd against civil-rights legislation and the voting acts of the fifties and sixties.

Hoping to become the United States' longest serving member of congress, Sen. Robert Byrd is working hard these days to erase scars left by his horrible past including his long time membership in the Ku Klux Klan.

As late as 2001 Sen. Byrd was caught using the N-word on national television. However still today, few Democrats have publicly condemned Sen. Byrd's racist views.

You two are pathetic. AND narrow-minded as fuck...

Sad day for kkkhale667.

Wasn't a fan, so - not so much.

But please - feel free to FUCK OFF anyway, M'kay? :dafinger:
