Praising the Devil

The late Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) was in his youth a member, and leader, of the Ku Klux Klan and later a segregationist Senator. Katie Pavlich has rounded up video of former Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi praising the late Senator Robert Byrd, at his funeral.

In a column for Townhall, she has embedded the videos and you can watch them for yourself. Watch Biden say of Byrd the following:

To me...for a lot of us, he was a mentor and a friend, and for a lot of us, he was a guide.

Watch Pelosi say of Byrd:

Senator Byrd's service and leadership are more than worthy to be remembered for many generations to come. He was a great American patriot.

If we're going to bad mouth Washington and Jefferson, what should we say of Biden and Pelosi when they praise Byrd who founded a KKK chapter? Isn't that a lot like erecting a statue of him?

The Democrats are so blatantly two-faced they give hypocrisy a bad name.
