I’m surprised that the old racist scum didn’t refer to Vick as a “race mongrel, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”

After all, that’s how the “Conscience of the Senate” usually refers to black people.

Which says rather a lot about the knuckledraggers inhabiting WV as well.

Wow, was that necessary?

Unless he’s been appointed by divine intervention every six years, I’d say it was.

Of course, that goes along with my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies for the poor saps who don’t vote the racist clownshoe back in every time they get a chance.

And no, I’m most certainly not disputing that WV is a pretty state and that there are, undoubtedly, many wonderful people living there, I’m just making the perfectly logical observation that a majority of its voting population have the ethics and morals of Julius Streicher or the IQ of wet pocket lint. Pick one.

So, because Byrd was involved with the KKK (yes, it’s despicable, I agree completely) 65 years ago for which he has profusely apologized, WV should forego a Senator that actually gets things down for the state or they are immoral?

Would you like the full quote?:

“Rather I should die a thousand times and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”

Robert Byrd on desegregation of the armed forces.

He can “apologize profusely” until the heat death of the Universe as far as I’m concerned. That stain ain’t coming off no matter how much bleach he throws at it.

I guess that makes ALL the citizens of Massachusetts and Virginia immoral or idiots too, right?

Only the ones voting for the immoral idiots which, it would appear, is a majority of the voting population of those two States. As is the case with WV.

And if you think that Sheets’ spending my money to have a bronze plaque with his name on it nailed to every last outhouse in WV is an endearing feature, then please reconsider.

It’s not.

BTW, you don’t think that sounds a little ignorant or stereotypical, huh?

I was referring to his penchant for using taxpayers’ funds to erect “Robert K Byrd Memorial [Insert Name of Structure Here]” monuments to himself everywhere.

If you’d like, I’ll change “outhouse” to “jacuzzi.” Wouldn’t want to step on your toes, after all, and the point still stands.

As to his “apologies”, I repeat: I don’t care. Julius Streicher, were he alive, could apologize 24/7 on his bended knees for the things he said about Jews and I wouldn’t care about that either.

Holly, I could repeat everything I just said for the second or third time, but I really don’t think there’d be much point in doing so if you won’t actually read it.

Misha I on July 19, 2007 at 11:24 PM

What exactly did I not read? I read every word you wrote.

Sigh. No, you didn’t. Against my better judgment and since you’re asking me a direct question, here goes (and then I’ll quit this tedious subject, I promise):

I said, re: W Virginians and knuckledragging:

Unless he’s been appointed by divine intervention every six years, I’d say it was.

Of course, that goes along with my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies for the poor saps who don’t vote the racist clownshoe back in every time they get a chance.

That fell into the swamp, so I tried again, a little more directly this time:

And no, I’m most certainly not disputing that WV is a pretty state and that there are, undoubtedly, many wonderful people living there, I’m just making the perfectly logical observation that a majority of its voting population have the ethics and morals of Julius Streicher or the IQ of wet pocket lint.

That one burned down, then fell into the swamp. OK, so third time’s a charm; I tried again, only this time Massachusetts and Virginia had been thrown into the mix as well:

Only the ones voting for the immoral idiots which, it would appear, is a majority of the voting population of those two States. As is the case with WV.

I didn’t have much luck explaining the “outhouse metaphor” either, which for some reason meant something entirely different to you than it did to me, which was simply a way of pointing out his penchant for earmarking his name onto every conceivable structure, big and small, for his own aggrandizement. Undeterred, I tried to explain that one too:

I was referring to his penchant for using taxpayers’ funds to erect “Robert K Byrd Memorial [Insert Name of Structure Here]” monuments to himself everywhere.

If you’d like, I’ll change “outhouse” to “jacuzzi.” Wouldn’t want to step on your toes, after all, and the point still stands.

And then, after all of the above, you come back at me with this:

You can dislike Byrd all you want. I just don’t think calling the whole state “knuckledraggers” in outhouses is all that necessary.

Tell me again that you read every word I wrote?

I really don’t know how to make it any clearer to you and, out of respect for this site and the other commenters here (not to mention the few remaining hairs on my head), I shall refrain from trying.

Thatisall.
