Did anyone hear Ken Mehlman's comments about James Bryrd on Late Edition?
Maybe I heard it wrong but it sounded like he called Byrd the racist killer from East Texas, when he was, in fact the victim of a racist killing in Jasper, Texas.

2. Not me. But I saw him lying his crooked face off. On meet the press.
So this falsehood. Which he should have been aware of. Does not suprise me. Repukes write their own history as they go I would say.
Peace

5. He definitely said that the GOP had been compared to James
Byrd, and called Byrd the racist killer.

Maybe he was suggesting that Byrd was self-hating, and dragged himself to death behind that truck? I think Emmitt Till probably tortured (wait, 'legally coerced') himself to death in much the same way. MLK was also a racist suicide.

Gee, Ken, do ya really wonder why African Americans don't vote for you? You don't even know who the murderers and victims are?
