With all the hypocritical blather in the news about Trump not
denouncing David Duke enough, I'm wondering why all the
liberals don't have their panties in a wad over Hillary calling
a KKK leader and recruiter her "mentor" and "friend."

She even kisses him.

Hillary gushing over her "mentor" the KKK leader:

Snopes confirms truth of video, and shows picture of Hillary
kissing KKK leader:

Left-hating cons can never be honest about the contrast in their claims of hypocrisy. It's not that they're too dumb (at least not always)... They just can't tell the truth in their desperate attempt to shift away from their own awful reputation as the party of painfully obvious racism and exclusion.

From your own link:

"Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation," stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. "Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.

"Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card. He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation," stated Hilary O. Shelton, Director of the NAACP Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy. "Senator Byrd was a master of the Senate Rules, and helped strategize passage of legislation that helped millions of Americans. He will be sorely missed."

Yeah, when David Duke comes out and renounces the KKK and works on civil rights legislation or when Hillary's rally is attended as a white supremacist recruiting drive or has black people getting beat up we can talk.

This will resonate with the core GOP chain mail voter, but it aint gonna fly beyond that.

I hate the left blah blah blah they're the real racists rabble rabble

By definition the 'left' has cosigned on >65% of the stupid ass travesties over <enter # here> years.

I hate hate hate Hillary but isn't this her being friends with someone who was kkk many years ago and has changed completely (or so he acts?)... Sorry if my grunch misinterprets

No, that's it exactly

Kudos on being an intellectually honest Hillary hater (or so you act)

Byrd had to come a long way to finally embrace equal rights. He is emblematic of the success of the civil rights movement, efforts of which were ultimately for to change hearts and minds of whites who were indoctrinated with hate and division.

I've wondered what the thinking is behind OP's cheap trick which I have seen done a lot. Wouldn't such as easily reversed message be counter productive? When challenged in the least, it reveals not only the dishonesty of the source but also demonstrates that change, away from hate, is possible. I guess this is one of those things that worked better before the internet. How anyone could fail to see that the internet completely obviates the effectiveness is beyond me.

It will get blasted over the AM airwaves and cable news to millions who don't know the internet from a hairnet.

Yes the chain mail sending wastes of human life will lap this up. We've told you many times those morons are impervious to reason.

Agreed. I see liberal ******s forwarding stupid inane memes all day long.
I even point out the errors in their stupid sound bites, and they pass them
on anyway - but yes those morons are impervious to reason as you say.

sigh.

Cheap trick? ROFL.

Byrd defended the KKK well into his 40's, and was still using the term "******" on television in his 80's. Oh wait, he's a Democrat, he gets
a pass.

****ing modern Democrats and libtards are so stupid, most of them don't even know that it was their party that created the KKK.

lol fZ are you now suggesting you knew that this story was entirely bollocks and there is no equivalence in Trump's response on David Duke and Clinton's relationship with Robert Byrd?

Of course there is no equivalence, actually I think neither one is a story.

It's nasty bull**** politics.

Though, I think Obama and Hillary are 10 times the racists than Trump.

lol. Perfect post from a perfect simpleton. Also a great example of white privilege.

Zit if you bypass the profanity filter again you'll get a 2 day ban.

How predictable, too stupid to argue the salient points, so resorts
to ad hominem.

Speaking of too stupid

Then I don't think you know what a racist is.

In the past 48 hours, I learned that:

1. the KKK is "leftist terrorist organization"
2. BLM is the new KKK

Amusingly, although different kinds of morons across the country agree with #2, they don't necessarily mean the same thing. In the rural West they mean "Bureau of Land Management" while in the cities they mean "Black Lives Matter".

Ummm, I already argued the salient points in my first post.

Pretty funny to see you calling someone stupid though after you just said "these things are of course not equivalent", then defined them as equivalent.

You are the perfect Trump voter though. Let me know how the Kardashians show is later tonight, and tell me another angry story about you are the super smartest but get passed over for stuff because the world is unfair to white guys.

In before the chezlaw raised by wolves/tone policing act.

I am a registered independent, so take this post as you will. I have received thousand's of those stupid junk emails from the right about how Obama is not a US citizen, Obama doesn't have a birth certificate, and Obama is really a Muslim terrorist, etc. I don't think I have EVER received a single email from the left making the same claims about someone on the right. I know some do exist, but if there were that many out there like you claim, I should have received some of them.

I gotta say, I think you are embellishing on this because there is just not a lot of liberal based email chains that you are referring too compared to the other side.

Zit is lying because thats what conservatives do. They simply don't know how to tell the truth.

/Zit and Ann Coulter logic

I always wonder if people like you are surprised by how grimly predictable you are?

None of that contradicts any counter argument to your charge of hypocrisy. By all means keep talking about Byrd. He is a fine example of what change is possible, maybe the best in history. What could be a better example than a powerful white man changing the very racist views that helped him gain power? His story is much more inspirational than someone who simply adopted the progressive values of their parents.

The democratic party was associated with the KKK (link to where the party "created" the KKK please) but the KKK has nothing to do with progressive ideology. Parties change radically though ideologies remain roughly intact. Right now the democratic party is more ideologically aligned with the republican party of the 70's and 80's than to the democratic party of that era. As the millennials age they will start to shift the democratic party back left. Parties can shift their ideology internally while still maintaining the same name.

So what? Everyone knows the KKK is ideologically aligned with what are now called republicans. Sorry, but there is no getting away from the racist tag for the republican party. Not only is it necessary for republican candidates to pander to racists in order to get votes (in ways that are lol obvious to everyone), but their politicians and members simply cannot resist indulging their urge to express racism more directly. Even wil, who makes empty claims of being a progressive democrat in order to fit in here, simply cannot help making his true feelings known. Making feeble attempts to spread around the racism by drudging up long retired associations in name only is just hurting your cause. Such attempts don't convey what you think, but only desperation and idiocy.
