WASHINGTON – Sen. Robert C. Byrd, who holds the record as the longest-serving member of Congress, is seriously ill in a Washington-area hospital. The West Virginia Democrat's office says the 92-year-old lawmaker has been in the hospital since late last week. At first he was believed to be suffering from heat exhaustion and severe dehydration. But his office says in a statement doctors have examined Byrd and other medical conditions have developed. His condition is described as serious. The statement does not name the hospital. In November, Byrd broke the record for congressional service that had been set by Democrat Carl Hayden of Arizona, who served in the House and Senate from 1912 to 1969. Byrd began his career in Washington in 1952 with his election to the House. His elevation to the Senate came six years later. Byrd has been in frail health in recent years and was hospitalized three times in 2009. He has been confined to a wheelchair, but was present and voted "yes" for final Senate passage of the health care reform bill in March. Byrd has been the longest-serving senator since June 2006 and was elected to an unprecedented ninth term in November 2006. His colleagues have elected him to more leadership positions than any senator in history. He has cast more than 18,000 votes and has a nearly 98 percent attendance record over the course of his career. His wife, Erma, died in 2006.

#42. To: Badeye (#31)
Points of contention were my view that Trent Lott was a first degree LOSER and deserved to be dumped for his mismanagement of the Senate since 1996 - and that his being dumped on the faux issue of Thurmond's membership to the Dixiecrat party was A Okay with me.

"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Making the world safe for United Fruit.
We've had one mass murderer in the name of Islam since he's been President, and 2 more attempts at mass murder in the name of Islam in which we just got very lucky, and instead of acknowledging the REAL enemies, he just talks in vagueries about "domestic violence" as if Tea Party members were doing this. It's pretty clear who he is standing with in that regard.

He isn't just saying he prefers the company of blacks. He paints the picture of whites as the enemy. Black Supremacist philosophy. The same as Wright who preached the African (note: not African-American) supremacy message he wanted to here. He's no diffrent than a white boy joining an Aryan group.
Now you've given him his afternoon fix of cop brutality.
I wanted to remind him of his glory days. I guess I'll have to apologize to Badeye, looks like the Klan is alive and thriving.

Are you talking about "Islam is a religion of peace" GW Bush?

No you didn't. Did he hang out in a black supremacist church for 20 years as an adult because he was still a confused youth?
How many blacks do you associate with?

Bush also distinctly warned about the dangers of "Islamofascism." You won't here that coming from the Kenyan.
That sounds more like it came from the Savage Weiner. Bush was the one who started Ramadan celebrations in the White House.
This must be another talking point today. You must be talking about that soldier recruited under Bush who shot his fellow soldiers. I hardly equate that with 911, but if the shoe fits chalk up another one for Bush.

LINK please. He wasn't about to diss the Saudis and you know it.

YEAH! Be more like w.a.r.
If I could, I would. In the days after the horror of the 11 September attacks, President George W Bush made a point of saying Muslims per se were not America's enemy. But in the five years since then, he has taken less care to emphasise that message, US Muslim leaders are saying. They are upset about his use of terms like "Islamic fascists", which he used this week both for Hezbollah and the suspected bomb plotters held in the UK. "It offends the vast majority of moderate Muslims," Ahmed Younis said. "The use of the term casts a shadow upon Islam and bolsters the argument that there is a clash of civilisations between Islam and the West," Mr Younis, the national director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (Mpac), told the BBC. He said it was wrong to link the actions of violent Muslims to their religion. "There is nothing Islamic about their fascism. The Prophet [Muhammad] and the Koran clearly articulate that this type of activity is outside of bounds for Muslims." Regular refrain Mr Bush used the term on at least two separate occasions this week. On Monday, during a press conference from his ranch in Texas, he said terrorists "try to spread their jihadist message - a message I call ... Islamic radicalism, Islamic fascism". Bush: 'Stark reminder' A moment later, he said "Islamo-fascism" was an "ideology that is real and profound". Then, on Thursday after the arrest in Britain of two dozen people suspected of plotting of bomb planes travelling to the US, he said "Islamic fascists... will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom

I think I do remember it now but it was only after the horses were already well out of the barn. And only to describe distinct foreign events.

Pray tell what mass murder in the last 19 months equals 911?

IIRC Poppy went overseas to celebrate it.

That said, "dissing" the dead in this manner, especially one with 80% of the last hundred years spent in public service is appalling. Its the last vestiges of the Clintonian Era's Politics of Personal Destruction, carried to an even more unseemly level. Oh well, no accounting for upbringing, taste, or personal standards, I suppose. And yeah, I hope somebody craps in the posters coffin as well.

Well...as the Boofer says...the LP database don't lie... The "Dixiecrat" quote is even better. He calls Thurmond's overt racist run for POTUS a "faux issue"...he even dismisses the fact that Thurmond was the candidate by referring to him as a mere "member". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Points of contention were my view that Trent Lott was a first degree LOSER and deserved to be dumped for his mismanagement of the Senate since 1996 - and that his being dumped on the faux issue of Thurmond's membership to the Dixiecrat party was A Okay with me.

The irony is this shows my view of Thurmond and Byrd is exactly the same, debunking the suggestion you made up above, GO65, when you asked. Here we are, seven plus years later, and I'm consistent as hell. That said. there is a distinction I personaly draw between a member of the Klu Klux Klan, that attained the 'exalted rank' (Klans descripton, not mine) of Grand Kleagle. Sorry, I don't have any use for racists. Of any color or stripe. That IS my standard, dumbass. And its the SAME for Republicans or Democrats. Now, the other more amusing aspect. My anti groupie just spent a couple of hours looking back through a hundred thousand posts at stormfront lite.....(roaring with laughter) Proving he's not only insane as I've suggested, but he's also unemployed as I've stated. Of course, there is no 'context' given as tp what I was responding 'to' in this instance, or who. Appreciate the ping, I'm sitting here laughing my ass off now.

Thurmond was a Democrat back then, like all the KKK members and sympathizers were. Look it up. First Rule of Holes applies here.....lol

Chuckles...nope, anti-truthie...I went to "Latest Articles" put "Thurmond" into the search box and viola. For someone who's on the internet 365/24/7 such as you, you'd think you'd know how to run a simple search. And the contrast in your behavior over Thurmond's death there and Byrd's death here is stark. There's no spinning it whatsoever.

The truth of the matter is that this is a flat out lie and your statements made here and at LP prove this beyond any sense of the word "doubt". The fact that you would even try to promote this fable underscores why no one across the entire internet forum world takes you with any sense of seriousness...the two active posters at The Queef excepted (roaring with laughter)...
