You say that as if the media sycophants would not be trumpeting such a connection 24/7 if Trump had one. That is my point. It does not matter if he claimed to have repented (you know, after filibustering the Civil Rights act of 1964), they would have spun it against him anyway. The fact that they haven't even mentioned Byrd is proof of bias.

edit for dang: Thank you for Correcting The Record. If you're going mark accusations of racism as off-topic, you should have done so a little further up-thread.

I'll give you props for not leaving an article like this flagged and dead for once. Too big to sweep under the rug?

"We just cannot allow Donald Trump to become president. It would destroy this country." -- Paul Graham.

"I am contributing to both vote.org and voteplz.org, and probably two other get-out-the-vote non-profits. There are different approaches to this problem and I'm not sure which will work best, but unlike many for-profit startups it's non zero-sum–we have a long, long way to go to 100% voter turnout, and all the organizations working on this share the same fundamental goal. This feels like the most important US presidential election I've ever witnessed, and I want to do whatever I can to make sure we're all involved. -- Sam Altman

Please stop using HN for political rants—it's not the kind of discussion we want here.

I know this is a particularly politicized thread, but your many comments still stand out as particularly ideologically driven.

(In case it's a concern: we don't care what your specific ideology is. We just care about not pushing HN off a cliff.)
