-Caveat Lector- Just imagine any Republican had made this comment!! Even an elderly one, like Strom Thurmond would have been lambasted by every major media. Talk about double-standards! And right after the Ashcroft hearings. This is why Demonrats have NO credibility. And remember just a couple of weeks ago, not one but two incidents of Clinton being overheard using this 'N' word. They seem to be particularly fond of it in the DNC. AKE It's OK for Democrats to Use Racist Terms Mike Gallagher Monday, March 5, 2001 Quick, someone explain to me how John Ashcroft gets blasted for giving an interview to Southern Partisan magazine but U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd survives calling people "niggers" on national television relatively unscathed. When I saw Byrd make the observation that "there are white niggers" on Fox News Sunday, I almost fell out of my chair. I figured that such an offensive, outrageous comment made on national television would be met with protests and demands for the 83-year-old senator's resignation. So far, there's been no such reaction. Of course, we all know what's going on here. The colorful senator from West Virginia is the oldest Democrat in the U.S. Senate. As a Democrat, he regularly toes the party line (he was on Fox to criticize President Bush's tax plan). But this Democratic senator has an embarrassing past when it comes to race relations: As a young man, he was actually a member of the Ku Klux Klan. So perhaps his bigoted, ignorant choice of words Sunday should come as no surprise. But we should again remember what John Ashcroft was put through. Here was a good and decent man, a religious conservative who was routinely called a racist. His crime? Granting an interview to the above-mentioned publication, a periodical that simply salutes and honors the proud and rich tradition of the South. Liberal Democrats love to portray conservative Republicans as bigots. And yet when was the last time you heard a Republican calmly suggest that there are "white niggers" in America? How many Republicans do you know of who are former members of the Ku Klux Klan? The fact is that racial bigotry and hatred should transcend politics. It doesn't matter if a senator has a "D" or an "R" behind his or her name, calling ANYONE a nigger in 2001 speaks volumes about the character of that person. It's shocking that the typical liberal activists are silent over Byrd's comments. But it proves that liberal Democrats can get away with anything. KRLA-AM in Los Angeles is now the 200th radio station in the country to carry Mike Gallagher's talk show.
