Bill and Hillary Clinton Eulogise Former KKK Leader Robert Byrd

A shocking eulogy for former Ku Klux Klan leader Robert Byrd has been found on the state Department Youtube Page posted by presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. In the video Clinton confess to how the former Ku Klux Klan as her political mentor helped get her into politics and how he played a key role on US policy in response to 9-11 and its senate investigation report.
Sen. Byrd recalls in his book Robert C. Byrd: Child of the Appalachian Coalfields that when he was a young boy he saw his adoptive father participate in a parade, dressed in white hoods and robes and wearing white masks over their faces. Byrd asserts that his West Virginia Klan Chapter never engaged in or preached violence, "nor did we conduct any parades or marches or other public demonstrations" -- other than one time delivering a wreath of flowers in the shape of a cross to the home of a member who had been killed in a pistol duel.

Sen. Byrd launched his political career by authoring a letter in support the US Senate's most notorious segregationists, Theodore Bilbo (D-Miss.), complaining about the Truman administration's efforts to integrate the military. The letter sated 11th Dec. 1945 stated that that he would never join the armed forces "with a Negro by my side... 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."
