Bill Clinton On Robert Byrd’s Membership In The KKK: He Just Did It To Get Elected

Rob Port • July 3, 2010

Oh. Well then.

“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.

“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,” he added.

Somehow, I don’t think Bill Clinton (or any other liberal for that matter) would be quite so forgiving had Byrd been a Republican.

But when you’re a Democrat, almost anything is excusable I guess. Even being a Klan leader.

By the way, Byrd’s involvement with the Klan was hardly “fleeting.” Per Wikipedia, he joined the Klan in 1942, and was shortly thereafter elected Grand Kleagle of his chapter. In 1944, Byrd wrote a letter to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo saying “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side.” He expounded:

Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.

In 1947, Byrd wrote a letter to the Grand Wizard of the Klan saying “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.” It wasn’t until he ran for the House of Representatives in 1952 (a decade after he joined the organization) that he said, “After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization. During the nine years that have followed, I have never been interested in the Klan.”

Yeah. He was never interested in the Klan…except for those letters he wrote saying he didn’t want to serve with blacks in the military and saying he hoped the Klan’s influence would spread across the nation.

Trent Lott was all but drummed out of the Senate after suggesting that we’d have been a better country if segregationist Presidential candidate Strom Thurmond had won election. But all these liberals getting drippy about Byrd won’t be held to the same standard.

Wow! That Robert "KKK" Byrd was a hell of a guy. Clinton is a moron for saying such a thing, I can't wait for the Libtards to start defending this stupid comment. 1.2.3…
http://intensedebate.com/people/realitybasedbob realitybasedbob

“He wasn’t a Klansman long enough to get his sheet broke in,” said Travis Pierce, national membership director for the Ku Klux Klan, LLC, one of several groups that uses the KKK name. “It’s much ado about nothing.”

Pierce, though, said neither of Byrd’s ranks came with much responsibility.

“Kleagle is just a recruiter — he talks to people who are interested in being in the Klan,” Pierce said. “Exalted Cyclops simply means he was head of a unit of probably no more than five people. He was sort of the coordinator for their activities.”

Pierce described an Exalted Cyclops as the guy who makes sure there are hotdogs if the group is having a barbecue.

“That’s not very high up the totem pole, that’s very doggone low. It is an extremely marginal title,” Pierce said. “He had no voice, he had no vote, he had no position of power whatsoever.”

He joined in 1942, and as late as 1947 was writing letters expressing support for the Klan spreading across the nation, and didn't formally repudiate the Klan until 1952…when he decided to run for Congress.

So, at the very least, he had the better part of a decade to break in his sheet.

But believe what you want, Boob. You usually do.
http://intensedebate.com/people/goon48 goon48

Wow that didn't take long for one of the Libtards to defend Robert "KKK" Byrd… It doesn't matter if he was a member of the Klan for a week, the fact remains that he is a racist and the left likes to poo poo it.
http://intensedebate.com/people/Neiman Neiman

He just recruited other haters of blacks and Jews and kept them happy acting as cruise/entertainment director. Well, that makes me feel much better, how about everyone else?

Rob is right about one other thing, if he was a Republican he would have been hung a long time ago!

It doesn't make everything ok Backdoor Boob.
http://intensedebate.com/people/ndoldman ndoldman

Boob here is his fleeting moments , Senator Byrd was so "repentant" he opposed every civil rights movement. Senator Byrd filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1965. He voted against both Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas. It wasn't until the death of his son in a car accident in the early 1980s that Robert Byrd said he had to rethink his feelings about black people. He said — in the 1980s — that it "finally occurred to [him] that they might love their children, too."

http://intensedebate.com/people/goon48 goon48

What a nice guy eh? http://dailycaller.com/2010/06/28/sen-robert-byrd…
"A quick check of this morning’s obituaries reveal that in the eyes of the traditional media, Byrd the Progressive Porker is much more important than Bob the Exalted Cyclops.

Byrd joined the Klan at the ripe young age of 24 — hardly a young’un by today’s standards, much less those of 1944, when Byrd refused to join the military because he might have to serve alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds,” according to a letter Byrd wrote to Sen. Theodore Bilbo at the height of World War II.

Today’s obituaries, however, made little mention of Byrd’s once-deeply held hatred for African Americans."

Let me guess he was just missunderstood? 1.2.3.4….

I can't believe Clinton was spinning in a way that it appears that it's ok. Being in the KKK at all is not good I don't care if it is for one day, one month or 3-10 years.

Hey Dumbsh@t (Goon), he didn't say it was ok. He suggested it was something he shouldn't have done. Rob just force fed you half the quote, you moron.

"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," he added.

http://intensedebate.com/people/Neiman Neiman

Less than a decade ago, this fine man, what the liberals here call a repentant, former "n*gger hater," still had that word in his vocabulary and thus it was lurking somewhere not very deep under the surface in his heart. See below:

West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd apologized Sunday for a slur he used during a discussion of race relations in a nationally broadcast interview. In an interview taped Friday (March 2001) for "Fox News Sunday," Byrd, 83, was asked about race relations in the United States.

"They are much, much better than they've ever been in my lifetime," Byrd said, but added that he believed people talk about race too much. "My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."

In apologizing, Byrd — the Senate's senior Democrat — said the phrase dated back to his childhood. In the same interview, Byrd also talked about joining the Ku Klux Klan in his youth, describing it as a mistake. http://archives.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/03/04/byrd.slur/

Still, despite his still having the "N" word in his vocabulary and so easily invoked, I can and do accept the fact that he was sincerely repentant and offer him forgiveness for his past virulent racism. But, I ask myself, if that word was so near his lips, was he only superficially repentant because he wanted to hold on to money and power or sincerely because he truly thought his past racism was wrong? Well, what about his voting record in recent decades, was he just playing the game in opposing racism for that same motive of money and power or was he sincere? I don't know and neither does anyone else here at SAB. So, I will give him the benefit of the doubt, accept the idea that because of his age some words and phrases were long ago hard-wired in his brain and they involuntarily just slip out once in a while. I know I grew up calling them Negroes and that word still rises in my mind on occasion when thinking of those times, without having any racist intent. As we get older, ancient like me, we have more sins/failures in our own lives that desperately need forgiveness and thus we are more inclined to understand faults and forgive others.

What is inexcusable to me is that he felt his job was to spend our money on himself, his state, friends and political allies – he never really cared about the economic health of the nation nor respected the fact that people worked hard for their money and had a right to keep most of it for their own lives. He used our money to massage his own massive ego in having everything under the Sun in Virginia named after himself. So, he was a thief, an egomaniac and a political ruling case thief of taxpayer money.

What is inexcusable to me is that he saw his job as being a professional lifetime politician, rather than as a part-time, voluntary citizen/servant of the people. What is inexcusable to me is that while he knew the Constitution better than most, it was so perverted by his sick liberal mind he twisted it out of all proportion of it's true meanings. There are plenty of reasons to be glad that old fart is gone, without labeling him forever as a racist. When there is reasonable doubt we are to give people a second chance in life, forgiving them seventy times seven.

I hope the Judge he has now already faced shows him mercy, as I hope for that same mercy one day.
Bob56

But it is indeed humorous that Larry and Clinton think that making Byrd to appear as a prostitute is ok….

http://intensedebate.com/people/Upnorthlurkin Upnorthlurkin

It's all good….he was a Democrat so it's just another case of resumé enhancement!!
http://intensedebate.com/people/liberal_larry10 liberal_larry10

This is the rest of the Clinton quote, that Rob conspicuously left out:

"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," he added.

http://intensedebate.com/people/goon48 goon48

There is no excuse for what Robert KKK Byrd did or said, he was a blatant racist and we should be appalled by his actions. This clown wouldn't serve in the Military because he didn’t' want to serve with Black people, that is inexcusable in my opinion. I don’t think we should be expected to look past it either. Yet he is championed by the left as being some great person, to me he is nothing more than a bigot and a racist.

http://intensedebate.com/people/goon48 goon48

Oh so we are just supposed to forgive him? Can you imagine if this was a Republican with Robert KKK Byrd’s record on race relations, they would have tarred and feathered him at his eulogy. No seriously! In this case, liberal media just has glossed over this issue and not held him to account. Kind of compares to when Ted Kennedy died and the media kind of glossed over Ted’s little incident down on the Cape.

http://intensedebate.com/people/liberal_larry10 liberal_larry10

The difference is that he said he was wrong, he works with blacks and has apologized and asked for forgiveness. Trent Lott however claimed that had we elected a separatist we wouldn't be having all the problems were having now. Which was endorsing separatism, not apologizing or admitting he was wrong.

Same goes for Bill Bennett, who claimed if we aborted all black babies crime would be greatly reduced.

Let's explain it to you again….S L O W L Y, this time.

NOBODY said it was right…….you genius. That doesn't mean you can't forgive someone when they realize they have done wrong, and asked forgiveness.

Don't you read the bible? You contemptuous boob.

If you take the advice yourself maybe you'll understand that asking forgiveness than changing is what it is about, not asking forgiveness and haveing a hate hardened heart for 60yrs!!!!.

And you are trying to accomplish…? by rationalizing the actions of a liberal racist, and what's this? The old "youthful indiscretion" defense? Tsk! Tsk!. Try harder.

If all you Byrds want to flock together, who am I to not paint you with the same label you all cling to with such tenacity.
http://intensedebate.com/profiles/ellinas1 ellinas1

youthful indiscretion…. I have not described it as such.

Your brush is too wide…… you don't know how to forgive….
If a panel of blacks (who knew of Byrd's past) was tasked and asked to identify who is a racist, Byrd or a conservative, we know who they would choose.
The truth is a bitter pill to swallow……but swallow you must.

"actions of a clansman of the fourties(sic) and fifties."

I guess you were typing this while either porking a ten year old boy, or porking a ten year old Black child then strangling and burying him in your back yard secure in the knowledge that the only people you would have to worry about is… how did you phrase it so elegantly?… "the relatives of those affected pass judgement.(sic)

Those directly affected by Byrd's actions as a clansman forgave him.
Those wishing to camouflage their own sh!tstains, point to Byrds transgressions from the early 1940's to the early 1950's.
And some are trying hard, under the guise of political commentary, to distract from their transgressions.
Robert Byrd could go and attend church services with those he once despised.
Our host cannot, I repeat, cannot go to the Indian reservation and smoke the peace pipe with those he disparaged.

"Those directly affected by Byrd's actions as a clansman forgave him."

That would include the ones ,lynched by Klan members he personally recruited.. right E?

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts (especialy those that retired at fifty).

Onslaught1066

The part where you seem to think that dead black people were not directly affected by Byrds activities as a Grand Kleale of the exalted order of the Ku Klux Klan.

But seeing as how you are a racist, I can understand how dead black people do not concern you but a dead white guy does.

Lazy and retarded?

ellinas1

So let the relatives of those affected pass judgement. You are neither a judge of people, nor an authority on forgiveness.
Your accusation of me as a racist, is empty, meaningless and without merit.
http://intensedebate.com/people/Onslaught1066 Onslaught1066

"Your accusation of me as a racist, is empty, meaningless and without merit."

Actually it seems to be spot on, since you held yourself to be an expert on forgiveness… that is until it was pointed out that you are a hypocritical, two faced, lying… I mean, a fine upstanding example of what a true democrat is.

So let's get this straight, so that even a retarded lying Greek fag… I mean a left coast liberal can understand, if a democrat recruits Klans men to perpetrate racist violence on black people and much, much, later says I'm sorry, that's OK, but if any of the black people get killed along the way, well, that's just their tough luck?

Accusation? more of an observation which only a retarded Greeks mother could fail to see.

Are Greeks traditionally racists or genetically disposed to be so?

Why do you seem so torn up by the death of an old racist WHITE guy, and so utterly callous("So let the relatives of those affected pass judgement." (sic)) when it come to innocent black people who are killed by liberal white democrat racists?
Is it because you have lost someone whom you could look up to and affectionately call 'Father'?

I am most assuredly a judge of people or rather their character.

I tried being civil to you once, you proved incapable of returning the courtesy.

You are an a$$hole, whether by nature, nurture, or party politics you are incapable of not being an a$$hole.

Now back to the question at hand; That would include the ones lynched by Klan members he personally recruited.. right E?

That's because, as I have found out, you are too retarded and sick to recognize your sickness for what it is.

Any enlightenment I might deign to impart, would be a wasted effort.

As for the word 'reverted', I do not think it means what you think it means.

I started off being civil to you. You decided that familiarity should breed contempt, and now I communicate with you in the manner with which you are most comfortable.

It's really too bad that all your previous comments before this latest incarnation of the blog are lost, then you might have had the chance to see where you started all this. However even if you could go back, your retardation would render you incapable of learning from the experience.

GHW and Reagan campaign operative.
Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."[6][7]

So Democrats were all members of the KKK? While histoprically, it may have some merit, as most all KKK members were Democrat, it still sounds pretty dumb to say such a thing.

40 years of KKK Byrd racism is almost as hard to hide and the destruction being caused by the 'on purpose' Gulf oil spill.

tarpon? No one hates Negroes more than Democrats. Look at all they have done to them over the last 150 years.

It was a democRAT and it was just because he needed votes. Must be true, the "willie" says so!
sbark76

he joined KKK for a fleeting moment just to get elected????…………….and yet he rose in power inside the Klan to some grand exhalted cyclops poba level……….. which means he was a recruiter, he formed his chapter in 43', and was still writing about the vital need for the Klan in 46'………."a fleeting moment". He fillibustered the Civil rights act of 1965, He tore down MLK on the Senate Floor, Voted against both Scotus T. Marshall and C. Thomas ( the only Senator to vote against both)………….a "fleeting moment"

Be sure to read pages 109 of the recent SCOTUS 2nd amendment opinion of Justic Thomas. He detailed how the democrats used the KKK after the civil war to deny gun to black citiznes via the KKK. The blacks at that time knew well who had just given them freedom: Abe Lincolns GOP…………and Democrats were determined to keep them from the polls via in your face intimidation, and blacks with guns in the house didnt lend itself well to their ideology.

hmmmm…………does the left really mind, in this day and age if Hispanics have guns…….whom do they vote for???…….hmmmmm

Another article to read is "The Missing years"………..details the some 60 yrs missing in the DNC history anals that revolve around the KKK, platforms planks supporting slavery, planks supporting segregation, no reference to the Lefts Jim Crow laws……..on and on and on…. http://spectator.org/archives/2008/08/12/democrat…

no wonder the dem'cats feel guilty enough to throw 15.9 trillion in welfare at mainly the blacks via the War on Poverty…..for the fleeting moment of 60 yrs they terrorized the blacks in their own front yards w/ burning crosses

http://intensedebate.com/people/Proof_Positive Proof_Positive

"fleeting" is just another simple English word that the Left is not too clear on the meaning.

http://intensedebate.com/people/sbark76 sbark76

add that to the likes of what is the definition of "is" is……..or what is the definition of sex is, or even what socialism is………….

they read from a diff. dictionary in order to keep their sanity

Robert Bryd, life long racist and Democrat. Oops. They are one and the same. Just look at the racist Democrat a$$holes defending Bobbie in this thread.

For clarification, no one on this planet hates Negroes more than Democrats, 150 years of historical facts don't lie.
truth harvestor

Why are the GOP radicals so obsessed with Byrd's past and his involvement with the KKK so long ago . Why? Because they NEED that story , they need it like a flower needs rain . It is a necessary go to, when debating the liberals and confronting the racist past of conservatives. 'Oh yeah ! Well you got Bryd!! How bout them apples!" They need the example handy and well tended like a garden growing a poisonious plant. It is the camoflage they throw over the dispicable history that is so prevalent in their conservative past.
2hotel9- it is you who are lying ,150 years of conservatism has brought nothing but hate and creulity to blacks , those are the historical facts , Just ask the blacks themselves why they VOTE CONSISTENLY for the liberals in the 85-90% range for the past 75 years ! Are you saying that you know better than them ?

LibsSukSoHardDeyBlow

yah…that's it….it just Republicans being unfair…..When Republican Strom Thurmond died, Democrats and the LameStream media were very respectful, and did not bring up his staunch opposition to desegregation, right Truth-Pick-and-Chooser? What a very lazy bit of slop you wasted our time with…what a moron….

Democrats and Double Standards in the NYT: 'Respected Voice' Robert Byrd vs. 'Foe of Integration' Strom Thurmond

The New York Times marked the death early Monday morning of veteran Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who served a record 51 years in the U.S. Senate, with an online obituary by former Times reporter Adam Clymer. While acknowledging Byrd's Klan past and his pork-barrel prodigiousness, Clymer's lead also emphasized Byrd's proud fight as the keeper of Congressional prerogatives. The headline was hagiographic: “Robert Byrd, Respected Voice of the Senate, Dies at 92.”

While Clymer's opening statement on Byrd wasn't exactly laudatory, it did not match the paper's hostile treatment of the passing of two veteran Republican senators accused of racial prejudice: Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina.

truth harvestor

And yes the guy who said Rob Port was probably right by saying the dems would sure be treating Bryd different if he was a republican . I agree!. and YES it is an embarrasment to the dems to have a powerful dem like that in it's ranks with a past like that , even though he repented a 1000 times for it. Christain repentence only is relevant ,I guess ,when a pious repub does it. But bottom line -none of this historical archeology makes any of those repulsive days days more acceptable. Got That ! wrong is wrong ! Covering up your racist past with Byrd sh*t does not change the truth.

LibsSukSoHardDeyBlow

Ha! Speaking of covering things up…which party was born of slavery? Oh…that was the Democrats. Which party opposed the 1964 civil rights act? Oh, yes…that was the Democrats. Would your buddy, Mr. "Release My Chakra" Gore call that an "Inconvenient Truth"…?

It this had been a member of the GOP they would have never been given a pass like Robert KKK Byrd was.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
