In his positive and sympathetic story about Senator Robert C. Byrd becoming the longest serving Senator, Andrew Taylor of the Associated Press glosses over the fact that Senator Byrd was once a member of the KKK, a light treatment which evidences the media’s loyalty to even the worse slime in the Democratic Party. In this June 10, 2006, story, entitled "Byrd becoming longest-serving senator" Taylor says this about Byrd's KKK affiliation:

"He admits to a few errors along the way.

Byrd participated in an unsuccessful filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. As a young man, he join the Ku Klux Klan, a mistake he has been saddled with since the early 1940's."

First I would like to say this about Mr. Taylor's command of the English language(see the words "he join" above), it stinks. English aside, he calls Senator Byrd's conduct a mistake and an error, what in the world is this reporter saying. That is like writing a favorable story about Adolf Hitler, had he survived WW-ll, telling how he built the German autobahn system and saying that he is still saddled with the error of murdering 6 million Jews in concentration camps.

Personally I would like to say this to Mr. Taylor, the Senator you are defending and trying to prop up is the worse type of racist pig, and I have no use for a reporter that would write a favorable piece either about a former Nazi or a former KKK member. I would never hire a racist pig and I only wish I lived in West Virginia so that I could vote against this waste of a human being.
