A presidential election must be approaching: liberals are playing the Republicans-are-evil-racists card. People will recall the notorious NAACP 2000 campaign commercial that equated George W. Bush with someone who dragged a black man to death behind his car on a chain.
On today's "View," Joy Behar [file photo] offered a similar slur: GOP = KKK.
Talk had turned to the fact that most of the Republican presidential candidates declined to participate in two Latino-oriented debates held earlier this year. The leading candidates have now indicated that they will also be taking a pass on a September 27th debate at Morgan State University organized by Tavis Smiley and to be broadcast on PBS.
That's when Behar offered her pearl of wisdom.
JOY BEHAR: Scheduling conflict? What, were they at a Klan meeting at the same time?

September 19, 2007 - 13:45 ET by dscottNo Joy, Repubs aren't interested in the politics of hate and division sponsored by race or gender centered, victim oriented groups like you libs seem to prefer and pander to. We believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility not group rights and entitlement. Telling one of your Dem supporting groups about following the rules and working hard toward a goal is like telling a 2 year old to share toys and play nice or a teenager to grow up, it's contrary to their nature and outside of their experience.

September 20, 2007 - 01:13 ET by be_objectiveI agree dscott, as to "the politics of hate and division sponsored by race or gender centered, victim oriented groups like you libs seem to prefer and pander to" what is affirmative action, such as racial quotas in schools or employment but state sponsered racism. The question to ask regarding these policies is, are any individual americans rights, regardless of race gender or culture being violated. The answer is obviously yes.

HAHAHA! Behar may be an idiot, but she knows all she has to do is say Repbulicans...KKK, theocracy....right-wing extremists, and she will get the "Pavlov's dogs" response from the audience.
And what does that say about the audience?
You have to remember, the women in that audience get their news from "The View", not from doing their own research. Most of them probably never read a book unless Oprah tells them which one.
And I continue to believe that "The View" is for women who find Oprah too intellectual.

September 19, 2007 - 14:26 ET by HumanEventsYeah, Sheets Byrd is 'nuff said!
But also funny how Behar makes her evil and tasteless klan comment just a few days after Alan Keyes enters the GOP presidential field! But no matter, she as a useful idiot for the freedom-hating left (as Dave R so aptly put it) ignores all details and data. She'll just keep throwing out her false and outrageous attacks on anyone who threatens to stand in her idol Hillary's way.
BTW, remember a couple of months ago or so when the hildabeast made one her (billions of) disgusting comments about how the Dims are so diversified with a woman, African-American, and Hispanic in the race. And then she said something like, "Which you sure don't see with the other party's field". So I guess soon HiLIARy will say, "It's nice to see the Republicans also have an African-American in the running now." HAHAHAHAHAHA yeah rrrrriiiiiggghhhtttt! Just like she expressed how glad she was when Elizabeth Dole ran in 2000!

September 19, 2007 - 14:38 ET by Casey97Better questions is why all Democrats were absent from the values voter debate? They were all invited. They have time to attend the Gay and Lesbian debate thing, but not the values voter debate.
What about the Media selected top four Republican candidates? I like that we protest the media so much, but nod and agree when they tell us who our candidate should be. Just because the mainstream media tells us Rudy should be our candidate, should we go along with it?

Hey I agree. Go Alan Keyes!
September 19, 2007 - 15:01 ET by HumanEventsHey I agree. Go Alan Keyes! Go Tom Tancredo! Go Duncan Hunter! Go Mike Huckabee! Sure, they may be consistently far behind the front runners like Rudy, but this is still the primary season. So I would never just give up on the most conservative candidates prior to the GOP primary elections. I'm glad they're still in the race and hope at least one of them starts to get some traction (not enough $ as the frontrunners will, sadly, probably end up being their likely permanent single digit standing in the polls).

September 19, 2007 - 15:36 ET by ricklailWhen I was growing up the Klan was a big thing. In our small town the Klan was the Democrats. They were fighting civil rights and school intergration. I know this because my uncle was a member and he bragged about being a Dem.
By the way, Virgil Griffin who was once the Imperial Wizard in NC has begun a new membership drive. They are going after illegal immigration.

September 19, 2007 - 19:16 ET by MikeBCelator, if Behar is the dumbest, then there is a huge tie for first place. Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Geraldo Rivera, Jerry Springer, the guests on Jerry Springer, and on and on. Each and every one of these and unmentioned others are at least as dumb as Joy Behar.
Which reminds me: Joyless throws out that KKK canard without challenge on the program, implying that the Republican Party is far-right and racist. We all know that Robert Byrd was KKK, but can anyone here tell me the party affiliation of the only member of Congress who was a member of the John Birch Society? That's right: he was a Democrat.
When it comes down to it, though, I don't believe the Birchers were/are all that extreme or far-right. They were 100% on the money about Fidel Castro when the U.S. State Department was swearing up and down that Castro was not a Communist. They were 100% correct about Communists within the American government writing the draft of the U.N. charter. The Birchers have been correct about a lot of things the libs have been/are lying about.

September 19, 2007 - 19:33 ET by motherbeltExcept for the guests on Jerry Springer, I disagree. Behar beats Olbermann, Maher and Rivera without breaking a sweat. They are reasonably intelligent people who choose to twist things to suit their own agenda. And you can at least have an argument with them.
Behar is clueless. Pull her string, and her mouth opens and spits out the last "gem" of liberal folklore that she read or heard someone talking about. In another context, she would actually be funny.
I made an error in my
September 19, 2007 - 20:01 ET by MikeBI made an error in my statement about only one member of Congress being a Bircher. According to a Wikipedia list of prominent members of the John Birch Society, there were five Congressmen who were Birchers.
1) Edgar W. Heistand (R)
2)Larry McDonald (D)
3)John Rarick (D)
4)John H. Rousselot (R)
5) John G. Schmitz (R)

September 19, 2007 - 23:08 ET by danboI believe John Rarick may also have been a member of the Klan. If not he had strong ties to it. And was probably closer to them than the JBS. When he left congress, David Duke ran for his congressional seat. As a democrat. (Duke at that time was saying he was not a member of the klan. That was before he became grand wizard or klegal, or what ever he was.)
Unfortunately, Rarick was my conngressman. And I had to pleasure of voting against Duke. I remembered Duke parading around the college campus in his robes and nazi uniforms.

Conservatism works for anyone who tries it.
September 20, 2007 - 00:39 ET by nkviking75If the GOP really had it together, they'd issue a statement something like this: Our candidates are not running to represent blacks, Hispanics, gays, or any other minority. Our candidates are running to represent all the people. We believe our principles work equally well for all. Therefore we are not spending time and money wooing fragments of society. We're inviting everyone to join us with policies and principles that work.

Any such suggestion from the right would be immediately and loudly pounced upon by the left, and we would continue to hear about it for months, if not years.
