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." ======================================================== Senator Byrd, "Yes I understand under their clothes they are black all over" (cut to commercial)

Wasn't George Wallace a Klan democrat too?

And how about Earnest "Fritz" Hollings (current Senator SC) who put the Klan flag up over the SC Capitol while governor in the early 60s?

Funny how it takes Ashcroft and W to end racial profiling, where was your hero and Reno on this one for eight years?
