		<description>Here you go Tee.

my favourite part of the Young Republican leadership election though was that those voting had a choice between the racist Audra Shay or Rachael Hoff who had previously been convicted of voter fraud.

Audra Shay&#039;s &quot;excuse&quot;: read comment 16 to see how pathetic her excuse really is.

		<description>shorter tee:  LOOK OVER THERE!!1!  OMG!!1! UNICORNS.

this thread is about turning science into nonsense, not turning democrats into racists.  What is it with the Right and failure to understand simple concepts?</description>

		<description>Danny:

1. Byrd was a KKK veteran.  tick

2. Byrd wrote letters suggesting he wouldn&#039;t serve in the military next to a negro. tick.

3. Byrd was a Wizard.. Wrong. He was a Exalted Cyclops (was the correction).

I&#039;m sorry, but unlike you I&#039;m not familiar with the various ranking of senior positions in the KKK. If that makes you more comfortable I guess I&#039;ll take that huge mistake in stride... Lol.</description>

		<description>Unlike you tee, I don&#039;t put words into other people&#039;s mouths. 

You&#039;ve been made to look foolish because your own sources contradict your assertions. You&#039;ve been proved wrong on multiple, separate occasions in this thread and your current attempts at goal-post shifting are not fooling anybody.</description>

		<description>Danny says:
&lt;i&gt;Byrd was also never a ‘KKK wizard’, he was an ‘Exalted Cyclops’. &lt;/i&gt;

Understood... KKK Wizard/really bad, KKK Exalted/cyclops really good.

Good we got that to bed. LOL.

Joe says:

&lt;i&gt;Tee, just out of interest what are your thoughts on the Young Republicans electing as their national leader someone who thinks it’s funny to call black Americans coons?&lt;/i&gt;


Haven&#039;t followed that, Joe. Can you provide a respectable link to that please. If s/he did say that it&#039;s bad, but I suppose we could also use the Robert Byrd defense here, which according to most of you, one can say what one likes but as long you apologize for offending people with racist comments/ actions such as joining the KKK, becoming an &quot;exalted cyclops&quot;, writing letter  saying you would never go into the army and fight &quot;alongside a negro&quot; like Democrat Robert Byrd, then all is forgiven. Right?


However while on the subject of racism you ought to be talking about the current SCOTUS candidate that had her appeals court decision over turned because she was seen to be practicing reverse racism against whites.

&lt;i&gt;The US democrats have disavowed their racist past on the other hand it seems the next generation of Republicans are more than happy to embrace racism.&lt;/i&gt;

Umm, not so fast says the SCOTUS decision against &quot;the wise Latina woman&quot;</description>

		<description>No tee, here is what you said. Let&#039;s go over your own words because you appear to have forgotten what you said.

tee: &quot;The US political system needs to cleanse itself of these KKK types like Robert Byrd the ranking Democrat from a southern state who used to be a KKK wizard.&quot;

Byrd is no longer a &#039;KKK type&#039;, has he has apologised again and again for his past misdeeds, and gained recognition from the NAACP for his voting record concerning racial issues. There was a time when Byrd could be considered a &#039;KKK type&#039;, however that time is now long gone. 

Byrd was also never a &#039;KKK wizard&#039;, he was an &#039;Exalted Cyclops&#039;. 

You are being considerably disingenuous, and picking only select quotes that support your own flimsy position, and ignoring all evidence to the contrary even if it comes from your own source.</description>
