Sheets Removed from UT Dorm

University of Texas regents have stripped the name of a former law school professor and early organizer of the Ku Klux Klan from a campus dormitory. [More]

So when can we expect the Southern Poverty Law center to demand the same thing happen to all those monuments to "Sheets" Byrd out in W VA?

Probably just as soon as "hatriot" accuser Bill Clinton stops making excuses for him...

And "fleeting association" my @$$:

West Virginia's Democratic United States Senator Robert C. Byrd was a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter. After leaving the group, Byrd spoke in favor of the Klan during his early political career. Though he claimed to have left the organization in 1943, Byrd wrote a letter in 1946 to the group's Imperial Wizard stating "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." Byrd defended the Klan in his 1958 U.S. Senate campaign when he was 41 years old.

Decades, Clinton, you damned liar. Decades.

And speaking of the wretched SPLC, Vanderboegh has two posts about their latest disconnects from anything honorable and truthful. See here and here.
