There is so much to ridicule here I don't even know where to begin.
There is not nearly enough abuse for this guy!
Obviously, this is Byrd schlepping to who he now thinks is going to be the winner...
He is a typical white person who, uh, you know, if he sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know there’s a reaction that’s been been bred into, uh, his experiences that don’t go away....
'There is not nearly enough abuse for this guy!'
Which one?
Either way, you are correct.
Hey, another endorsement just rolled in:
'So I think he definitely has convinced people that he stands for change and for hope, and I can't wait to see what he stands for.' -Susan Sarandon
Barry has the lemming voting bloc L-O-C-K-E-D.
God this is beautiful. So much good to spread around. The election is less than 6 months away and away with the neo-con right wing stench on the country.
'God this is beautiful. So much good to spread around. '
Well manure IS good for the plants...
' The election is less than 6 months away and away with the neo-con right wing stench on the country.'
That stench is all the 'good' that you are spreading...
'For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of drooling old imperial wizard who has to be reminded not to say the 'N-word' by his handlers when he goes on national tv.... because it feels like hope is making a comeback.'
— Michelle Obama
'It's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear a degenerate, dementia suffering, semi mummified old bigot like Byrd. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often.'
-Chris Matthews
In addition to her misogynist, trailer park trolling husband the Clinton campaign has just got the coveted David Duke endorsement and are close to getting the nod from 'Jimmy the Greek'... Right now Clinton campaign officials are searching the countryside for known racists to add to the list of Clinton supporters.
'We realize that this can't compete with known 'Super racists' like Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, the Iranian Mullahs, the leadership of Hamas, Jessie Jackson, the New Black Panthers, Robert Byrd and Baracks own grandma, however we at the Clinton campaign haven't given up on the 'hater demographic' and intend to pursue them with the same vigor as the 'sexually frustrated soccer mom' demographic we have had so much success with.' Said the last paid Clinton staffer. 'We thought we had Don Imus but he backed out at the last moment.'
Republican Presidential nominee Senator John S. McCain (R-AZ) sent a letter of thanks to Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-KKK) for not endorsing his candidacy... Indeed, for forgetting all about him... as well as everything else from 1943 to last Wednesday.
After careful review of the posts, one can only come to the conclusion that a Republican supporter is a Nazi with his brains kicked out.

Barack Obama tried to tell us that he wasn’t in church when Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his chosen spiritual leader of 20 years, commanded “God Damn American” or preached any of his other racist, anti-American venom. Wright, we were told, was just the crazy uncle no one can control.
That line didn’t fly because Obama brought his kids to that church. You don’t willingly subject your children to cursing, filthy, unpatriotic preachers unless you agree with the preacher. After all, why spend Sunday brunch untangling and explaining away all the “Daddy, what does riding dirty on Monica mean?” questions.
It seems that Obama has another guy on the payroll who might as well be Rev. Wright’s clone.
Described in a 2004 Chicago Sun Times article as someone Barack Obama regularly seeks out for “spiritual counsel”, James Meeks, who will serve as an Obama delegate at the 2008 Democratic convention in Denver, is a long-time political ally to the democratic frontrunner.
When Obama ran for the U.S. Senate in 2003, he frequently campaigned at Salem Baptist Church while Rev. Meeks appeared in television ads supporting the Illinois senator’s campaign. Later, according to the same Chicago Sun Times article, on the night after he won the Democratic primary, Sen. Obama attended bible study at Meeks’ church ‘for prayer’ and ‘to say thank you.’
Since that time, not only has Meeks himself served on Obama’s exploratory committee for the presidency and been listed on the Obama’s campaign website as one of the senator’s ‘influential black supporters’, but his church choir was called on to raise their voices in praise at a rally the night Obama announced his run for the White House back in 2007.
Here he is in action on July 5, 2006:

'We don’t have slave masters. We got mayors. But they still the same white people who are presiding over systems where black people are not able, or to be educated.”
“You got some preachers that are house ni##ers. You got some elected officials that are house ni##ers. And rather than them trying to break this up, they gonna fight you to protect this white man,” Meeks said in a sermon tape.
Chicago politicians treat blacks like slaves? Frankly, real slaves would have been insulted that this moron compared their plight across the Middle Passage chained below decks like cordwood with the amount of money that Chicago spends on its schools. The slaves might have thought being sold like cattle, having families broken up, working all day in the sun with occasional whippings thrown in might have been a little worse than say, budget cuts for the South Side in tight economic times. You diminish and demean the hell endured by real slaves when you run your yap comparing slavery to not getting enough taxpayer money in your pocket.
This guy is Obama’s friend, regular spiritual advisor, and a long-time political ally. He serves on the presidential campaign committee and will serve as an Obama delegate at the convention in Denver. They are as close and as tight as two people get in politics.
The world has plenty of ignorant, racist, intolerant people. That is not news. But would-be president Barack Obama seeks out guidance from one of those ignorant, racist, and intolerant men. Obama is a hideously bad judge of character. Their friendship shows what kind of behavior Obama thinks is acceptable. It shows the kind of advice he would be getting as president. A five year old (not to insult 5 year olds) would easily choose a better quality, more appropriate role model than has Barack Obama. Obama can weakly claim Rev. Jeremiah Wright was a 20 year aberration, but Rev. James Meeks is more of the same. One racist, anti-American advisor might be an aberration, but two is a trend.

Is this turn-cote ex-KKK ratbag giving his former prey a nice white hooded gown to wear as well and promise not to set fire to any more crosses, or drag any black men behind trucks ?
All this squabbling by a party who have made one of the most horrendous and insulting choices for Presidential candidates ever possible to inflict on the American people - a black man and a woman - is just a play-ground rumpus.
What these surprisingly naive Democrats have actually done is committed political suicide.
There is absolutely NO comparison between party in-fighting and a NATIONAL
election for President.
It is a completely different ball game, where great issues are at stake and choices seal the fate of the nation for another 4-5 years. Voters attitudes change according to the issues involved.
What will happen at crunch time in November is -
The American people will be so shocked when faced with the Democratic candidate, that they will have NO alternative but to vote for a dignified, honorable, experienced and 100% all-American Republican.
A person who will put America first and be a credit to the country on the world stage.
The Democrats by their astonishing insult to the American nation will ensure a 100% Republican turnout and a good 30% defection from their own party.
It will be the biggest landslide victory for McCain and the Republicans that America has ever seen and should seal the fate of the Democratic party for years to come.
I have read these pages for months, bored out of my scull by the Yankee Democrat`s non-American tantrums.
Can I please ask. WHERE IN ALL THIS IRRELEVANT DEMOCRATIC ELECTION TWADDLE ARE THOSE COURAGEOUS CONFEDERATE COMMENTS ?
Have these Southern States all gone yellow ? Do they not remember their proud and valiant history ? Are they now a bunch of spineless cowards ?
Do they not remember John Mosby and his band of brave marauders who knocked the crap out of the Yankees to such a degree, orders were given for them to be shot on sight ?
That Confederate icon of bravery and justice - John Mosby, later became a REPUBLICAN !
Do they not remember all the courage and devotion that the Confederate armies showed and paid for in blood, in their struggle against the Yankee hordes of oppression ?
Do they not have any loyalty to their proud and valient past ?
COME ON YOU GRAY-BACKS, for God`s sake have some guts and give your comments on this insulting Democratic party slur on your people and the American nation.
Countless thousands of Confederate soldiers died for freedom in your States, surely you have the guts to speak your minds, regardless of Yankee Civil Rights legislation forbidding free speech in a free country.
AT LEAST SHOUT OUT FOR McCAIN, EVEN IF YOU HAVE`NT THE GUTS TO SHOUT OUT ABOUT A BLACK MAN AND A WOMAN BEING PUT UP FOR US PRESIDENT !
I cannot possibly imagine a conscience being so obscenely degenerate that a former KKK man turns from being poacher to gamekeeper.
It just shows what the human mind is capable of.
SP is really outdoing himself today. Must be boring city in his basement. If a Democrat is going to corrupt the U.S. and bring it further to it's knees if elected, is there going to be a major exodus to Canada or parts beyond?
...if you can get past the giant lie of old Sheets Byrd no longer being a bigot, you could make the case that people who are bigots, can possibly learn not to be. That is an uplifting thought, likely wasted on the wasted above, but nonetheless uplifitng.
A pity that is not the case here, but we can all hope. Byrd's real intention is to position himself with the winner, a game that is played constantly in the House and Senate with endorsements. After all, if Hillary wins, her revenge will be, well, Clintontonian.
I do, however, marvel at the libnazi's who see a guy like this in their ranks and cut him miles of slack, while they will attach the word bigot to the first infraction by any republican who comes along. Fortunately, after seeing Hillary and Obama use this, the public is souring on it.
My work is done here.
Yes, Obama is a 'noble-hearted patriot.' The country has always been led by an elitist. The problem is that most recent ones have taken orders from Wall Street. Obama is reaching out to the forgotten Americans and providing them a place at the table. Senator Robert Byrd is among the last of true Americans.
'My work is done here.'
A) Does this mean he's leaving, never to return?
B) Is sanity about to return the the M&C comments section?
C) He's been 'done' here for a long time. Stick a fork in him and call him dinner.
