Senator Robert Byrd [D-WV] stunned a national television audience on Sunday when he used the term "white niggers" during an interview.

Byrd, who early in his career was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, used the term on FOX NEWS SUNDAY when asked about the state of race relations in America by host Tony Snow.

"They are much, much better than they've ever been in my lifetime," Byrd said. "I think we talk about race too much. I think those problems are largely behind us... I just think we talk so much about it that we help to create somewhat of an illusion. I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that." Then Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time; I'm going to use that word.

"We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."

YET ANOTHER DEMOCRAT, THIS TIME A US SENATOR USES THE "N" WORD! - Fantastic new stategy to regain the White House and majorities in congress now being implemented! ROFLMAO!

So what, it's true. Nigger is just a slang term for slave, and lots of honkies are still slaves too. Remember the song John Lennon did back in the 70's, "Woman is the Nigger of the World"?

Any resonable person familiar with writings of the 'Aint' character must conclude that the 'Aint' character is a hypocrit, a liar, and a fool. Those who support him must be his own pseudonyms, for surely no one else would defend such a pitiful, spiteful individual. Indeed, it would be charitable to describe 'Aint' as a miserable miscreant - one more familiar with dog caca than the search for truth, justice, and the American way. Perhaps he will now slime back into the dank sewer from whence he came.

Fed up with Spam, boy I get tired of that stuff myself. Wifey fed me Salmon for about six months straight when a good run was goin on and I got to the place where I hated to even go near the water. Then she went to town in 1999 and bought 12 cases of spam and I'm tellin you, I've never got so sick of one food item in my entire life. If I ever see spam again, I'm filin for a devorce.
