WTW: White Trash Senator Speaks Out

March 2nd, 2005 at 1:37 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

Former Klansman and pants-shitting socialist Senator Robert Byrd yesterday continued his downward spiral into incoherent senility by comparing Republicans to Nazis (novel, I know) and comparing his own suffering to that of Jesus Christ.

Former Ku Klux Klansman Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., is blasting plans by Senate Republicans to invoke the so-called “nuclear option” to force a vote on President Bush’s judicial nominees, saying it would be no different from the tactics employed by Adolf Hitler.

To drive home his point, the eight-term Democrat also invoked the imagery of the Holocaust.

“Hitler’s originality lay in his realization that effective revolutions, in modern conditions, are carried out with, and not against, the power of the state: the correct order of events was first to secure access to that power and then begin his revolution. Hitler never abandoned the cloak of legality; he recognized the enormous psychological value of having the law on his side. Instead, he turned the law inside out and made illegality legal.”

At that point the former Klansman drew a direct parallel between Republican plans and Hitler’s tactics, saying:

“And that is what the nuclear option seeks to do to Rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate. …”

Hyperbole? Nah… just more blithering idiocy from a man who undoubtedly knows plenty about oppressing the mud races.

Moments later, Byrd invoked the imagery of the Holocaust, saying that the Senate’s GOP leadership would “callously incinerate” the rights of the Democratic minority:

“For the temporary gain of a handful of ‘out of the mainstream’ judges, some in the Senate are ready to callously incinerate each senator’s right of extended debate,” the former Klansman complained. “Note that I said each senator. For the damage will devastate not just the minority party.”

Can someone please enlighten me as to why there are still so many liberal Jews when the left is constantly marginalizing the Holocaust by using it as a metaphor for their own political bullshit?

The full text of his nonsense is here if you can stomach it. Much like the mud races, so persecuted and vilified by his own beloved KKK, the Democrats are now Christ-like in their Senatorial Persecution Chamber.

The Senate today is one place where, no matter what else may exist, there is still a chance to be heard, an opportunity to speak, the duty to examine, and the obligation to protect. It is one of the few refuges of democracy. Minorities have an illustrious past, full of suffering, torture, smear, and even death. Jesus Christ was killed by a majority; Columbus was smeared; and Christians have been tortured. Had the United States Senate existed during those trying times, I am sure that these people would have found an advocate. Nowhere else can any political, social, or religious group, finding itself under sustained attack, receive a better refuge.

Instead of imposing term limits, we sould turn the Capitol dome into the Carousel from Logan’s Run and have Senators renewed when their time is up. Byrd’s time was up a long time ago.

UPDATE:

Jeff Goldstein has more – as well as a mighty-fine roundup of other blog coverage of Byrd’s blather.

UPDATE 2:

Annika provides a more up-to-date and twisted shot of the beloved Senator.

    Yeah, I think the light in his palm ran out of batteries long ago. WHY IS THIS MAN STILL A SENATOR???

    And the Dems accuse us of being close-minded. “No, he’s not close minded, he just don’t like dem n**gers.”
