Moronic quote from Ken Mehlman today:

The NAACP unfortunately in the 2000 campaign likened the president to James Byrd, who was a racist killer in east Texas, who the president brought to justice.

Uhhhhhh Ken?? James Byrd was actually the victim of the murder, not the murderer. :wow:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. uh, correct me if I'm wrong....

but wasn't Byrd the VICTIM of the hate crime?

[ConfuZed]

2. He is so full of shit

The republicans just cannot stop lying

Here is the email address for the NAACP if anyone wants to give them a heads up about this [e-mail]

3. Indeed he was the victim....

it's like Chris Rock says...
I'm not afraid of Al-Qaeda, I'm afraid of Al Cracker!

4. Mehlman is a moran. Nothing less that total ignorance can be expected

from someone so intellectually deprived.

7. Just when you think they run out of completely stupid things to say...

They say something like this.

8. the byrd family despises bush...and his repeated lies about james byrd

and his use of his tragic death to score political points. not surprising that his minions are now tripping over the lies.

...Beneath the surface of their outrage lies the failure of Bush -- usually a master of superficiality -- to make basic gestures of humanity toward a grieving family.

"It's really not a Democrat thing or a Republican thing," says Mullins, Byrd's oldest daughter, of her support for Gore. "I usually vote for the best person, regardless of what party they're in. But I just think that Gore is more sympathetic."

Members of the Byrd family think that Bush was indifferent and duplicitous in their time of grief; cold and callous during their efforts to pass a law so that, in their minds, James Byrd Jr. didn't die in vain; misleading and woefully ignorant on the campaign trail whenever Byrd's name was raised. They think he's lying about his phone call to them, that he's lying about meeting with Mullins for 45 minutes, that he's lying about caring in any way about their plight. And though Bush may be fundamentally correct in his assertion that the proposed hate crimes bill would not have made a difference in this case, his clumsiness as a "healer" has manifested itself in some strong suspicions by the Byrd family.

9. I saw his comment on this and I thought

what a moron:eyes: This guy is so weird. He just follows the script.

[Independent_Liberal]

10. Mehlman is an idiot!

He has no idea what he's talking about.

[Sydnie]

12. I hope somone contacts the Byrd family with this

so they can sue his ass for misrepresenting him as the murderer. At least embrass him publicly for being so fucking stupid on national TV.
