Is that all you have?

And you completely ignore what he did in his later years. This creates grave doubt about your judgement.
He was not a young man when he made his politically expedient conversion.

It would bankrupt the state if they had to rename everything named after him.

Have Donald's views on race changed since this?


A Look Back at the Discrimination Suit Dogging Donald Trump - ABC News


Something that is actually relevant since Donald IS the President.

Let me see if I have this right...

Donald Trump has never been a member of the KKK, nor ever had any kind of association with them or any other supremacist groups. In fact he has received awards from civil rights organizations for his efforts to improve conditions for minority, inner-city youth. He denounces the KKK and similar groups in the strongest terms....and is denounced and condemned by the left.

Robert Byrd is a lifetime racist. He is not just a member of the KKK but in fact a leader. He has spent a lifetime suppressing black people while representing the Democratic party. Before his death he says "I'm sorry" and is held up as some sort of civil rights hero by the left.

Am I missing anything?

Hillary loved Robert Bird, that old Klansman. The Dems kept him on until he died. I remember they use to wheel the old fart out each time they needed his vote then he would go back to his office to sleep again until he was needed the next time. He was owned by big interests, that is the only thing that explains why he kept being voted in over and over again. And yes, the racists loved him.
Does anyone other than the far right fringe think Hannity has anything to add to any discussion.

Is he or isn't he correct on this issue? That's what matters. He did a good job exposing the hypocrisy on the left when it comes to racism.
You want to say democrats aren't bigots. Okay But you cannot deny the fact they elect bigots into leadership positions and then don't call them out when they spew bigoted filth. Expose bigotry. I'll fight it. But when those on the left don't fight it in their own house the credibility is lost. Not saying you do that.

Not a Hannity fan, as his style is annoying to me, but what has he said that isn't true? He also has representatives from the LEFT all the time to state their views. Again, I don't like it, because they always get into arguments, and it just sounds like BOTH sides bitching all the time. You know CNN, and MSNBC/NBC would be all over Hannity if he was lying.
