Byrd's passing, Clintons lie and The Dems ugly double standard

Recommended Posts

Clinton said "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."

Nothing to see here, move along... a racism charge is only valid if it is against a Republican.



I know
If Clinton had not seen fit to try yet again to redefine history we would not be here now

Kind of like the twisting of the poem and meaning of the Statue of Liberty[:/]

No, I disagree with that - the sentiment of the poem was correct for the times - people came to the states to become Americans.

Now, they come so they can be hyphenated-Americans.

For almost one hundred years, the Statue of Liberty has welcomed immigrants from around the world. But when she was installed on Bedloe's island in New York harbor, that had not been her purpose. The citizens of France gave the statue to the citizens of the United States in commemoration of both countries' commitment to "Liberty." Emma Lazarus, New York born and bred, had other ideas. Naming her "Mother of Exiles," Lazarus wrote her poem to that majestic lady in validation of the thousands of immigrants streaming through our "golden door." The Statue of Liberty would welcome the "wretched refuse," the rejects of European society, to a country which would transform them into the dynamic, creative, productive, inventive American citizens they would become. This was Emma's vision, a vision that would be fulfilled.

Bravo Rush, a nice bit of selective quoting.

You should read the rest of the article though. It talks about how Emma saw the plight of the people that had left their home countries and how hard they worked to fit in, yet where being persecuted by locals. She took upon herself to help them assimilate into the US by teaching them to, among other things, learn to speak and read English.

I'm just curious when the last time it was that you went out of your way to help people fit in rather than just complaining about it?

Is he misquoting, or are you just pissed because he didn't quote the part of the article YOU think is most important?

I'm curious when the last time it was that you went out of your way to try to understand someone else's viewpoint instead of just ridiculing them for it?

Try as I might on a daily basis, there are some people whom I will probably never understand.

and of course that can work two ways
I posted two links with some differing opinions

while not totally against or for your position it shows there is much more to it that the simplistic post you gave

Oh, and I doubt you try too hard. Your posts seem to indicate you think you got us all figured out already on a daily basis

On another note
Until yesterday I thought as you did
I heard a comment on the radio from a local host here in Iowa, wondered about it and went looking.

I found out my view had some errors in it and so I learned something


You find out your view had some errors in it and you get pissy with the one who posts about it

Byrd grew up old school and was a Democratic racist when that was fashionable in the south. Then the 1964 Civil Rts Act came along and things started to change and now the Yellow Dogs became Republicans and they were centered in the south. I don't know when Byrd finally figured out that his racism was BS, but he did, just as Malcolm X realized his approach was radical and pathetic. So the fact that people have an idiotic perspective isn't the rub, it's when they are too ideological to wake up and smell the roses.

So the truth here is that morons who haven't figured it out yet are pissed at poeple like Byrd who have and who have changed. Do you honor a guy like Strom Thurmond who was one of those morons?

:D:D

You do provide entertainment here I will give you that

I never said I was pissed at Byrd or even indicated that

However, the Dems have to twist history to try and cover the ugly double standard of their hypocrisy by saying his involvement was nothing:D:D

Well, the time line and history shows he was a recruiter for a chapter HE WAS STARTING!!!! And then the letter to the other Senator is as damning as it gets. But it was just a passing thing to get elected. YA, RIGHT!!! Yet silence out of the Dems and your kind. He was a racists until 1983 or 4 until he thought of blacks as human when considering the death of his son. Saying that maybe blacks loved their children too:o
No doubt your lips would have been flapping had his name had an R behind it and you damned well know it

But but you just cant let it go can you:D:D

Who twisted history? I merely showed how Byrd was an old-school racist changed to a modern, progressive Dem. Show me the twist. Dude, you really have use the word, "twist" when it applies rather than ev ery time you run out of things to say.

No doubt he was a racist pig; you keep arguing a moot point - nuts:S. He hasn't been that way for decades.

Quote

Had he changed, esp decades ago, I wouldn't consider him bad/evil, regardless of his party affiliation.

I don't get the hatred towards Clinton. Is it because your country was prosporous and meant something on the world stage during his presidency?

Uh, the nation still means something on the world stage. And it suffered many attacks during his time. So I doubt that is the reason some don't like the guy.

Got nothing to do with Clinton. Certainly no hatred. But one has to wonder why he felt the need to try and re-write history about Byrd???
Got any ideas?
