I never liked Bill Clinton. I always knew he was someone who didn’t have morals, so when he says something hateful or wrong it’s not surprising. It’s just Bill. This has to be the worst I’ve heard from him.
These Democrats are such frauds. They claim to be the ones who care and are compassionate. They claim to be the ones who want to make life better for the minorities and stand up for the minorities. No one who truly believed in those principles would dismiss Byrd’s role in the KKK. No one with morals would dismiss Byrd’s role in the KKK. And no moral person would dismiss an association with the KKK because someone was trying to get elected. Bill is wrong. He did not spend the rest of his life trying to make it up. Did he later denounce and apologize for his association with the KKK? Yes he did, but he also voted against Civil Rights after he was elected. He was FORTY SEVEN years old. It was not a youthful indiscretion and he did not make up for his association with the KKK by voting against civil rights.
Maybe Byrd’s regrets later on in life were sincere. I don’t know, but no apologies change the past. And trying to get elected is no excuse for racism from anyone on either side of the aisle, including former Presidents who no longer have a political future and are desperately trying attract as much attention as possible so they still feel important. Racism is not excused by any political agenda and it is humiliating that a man who was once President does not know this. The dirt on the bottom of my shoe has a stronger moral compass than former President Bill Clinton.

Both Bushes cheated on their wives, even though it is none of our business. So what do you think of them?
So you’re saying Robert Byrd can’t be forgiven his sins? I thought you were a good christian girl and believe in forgiveness. Byrd did more to help civil rights in this country than any recent conservative. Once again, review history, it would do you some good.
I’ve never heard that either Bush cheated on their wives and I don’t care if they did. I don’t know very much about the first George Bush. The second I think was good for the most part, but he did some things that I think were completely wrong and strongly disagree with.
I never said that Byrd can never be forgiven sins and I never identified myself as a Christian. Don’t try to use something I never said against me. And you should review some history yourself. Byrd was associated with the KKK. If you watched the video or read the post that was what Clinton was excusing as “politics”. He also voted AGAINST civil rights legislation. In fact, all of the opposition to that legislation was from the democrats. Someone who is that ignorant of these facts should not be lecturing me on studying history. I want to study history and further educate myself, but do not tell me that I need to study history based on things I said about a subject that you clearly have not educated yourself on.
