Barbaric!

The Associated Press reports that former Ku Klux Klan recruiter Senator Robert C. Byrd yesterday made an impassioned speech on the Senate floor:
"Barbaric," Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., shouted four times in a Senate chamber that was mostly empty except for two dozen somewhat startled tourists.

"Let that word resound from hill to hill and from mountain to mountain, from valley to valley across this broad land," he thundered, raising his right hand. "May God help those poor souls who would be so cruel. Barbaric! Hear me!"

"I am confident that the hottest places in hell are reserved for the souls of sick and brutal people who hold God's creatures in such brutal and cruel contempt," he said.
You might think that Mr. Byrd was denouncing Islamic terrorists, abortionists, rapists, or accountants, but you'd be wrong.
