EH> TR>>>>> Behavior can be faked up. Robert Byrd wasn't
above faking
EH> TR>>>>> behavior. After all....he was a democrat.

EH> bk>>>> Uh... no. How do you fake up 60 years of behavior? Awful
EH> RS> hard
EH> bk>>>> to get away with.

EH> RS>>> The absolute funniest take on Byrd comes from our old buddy
EH> RS>>> Glenn Beck.

EH> RS>>> He and his crack staffers couldn't find, and Beck whined about
EH> RS>it  at
EH> RS>>> length on his TV show, film or videotape of Byrd's 1964
EH> RS>filibuster  of
EH> RS>>> the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

EH> RS>>> Other commentators found in only a few seconds using Google,
EH> RS>the  fact
EH> RS>>> that the Senate did not allow TV cameras in their chambers
EH> RS>>> until 1974.

EH> RS>>> Committee rooms had TV cameras in them at times, most notably
EH> RS>>> the Army- McCarthy hearings of 1954 that destroyed Beck's
EH> RS>>> hero, Joe McCarthy.

EH> JB>> Let us be reminded what state Joe was from.

EH> RS> And this has what to do with the price of tea in China?

EH> RS> The country as a whole, and Wisconsin, have mostly rejected
EH> RS> McCarthyism. And McCarthy.

EH> RS> However, Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter still consider McCarthy to
EH> RS> be their hero.

EH> RS> Where were Ohio's Senators, when McCarthy was running around
EH> RS> with his tar bucket and brush?

EH>Please read the Venona Papers. Here's a list of Americans on the
EH>list... http://goo.gl/WHLe

EH>"Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Chairman of the bipartisan
EH>Commission on Government Secrecy, responsible for securing the
EH>release of Venona project materials, in the Introduction to his book
EH>Secrecy states, "The Venona intercepts contained overwhelming proof
EH>of the activities of Soviet spy networks in America, complete with
EH>names, dates, places, and deeds." The release involved careful
EH>consideration of privacy interests of individuals mentioned,
EH>referenced, or identified in the translations. Some names have not
EH>been released when to do so would constitute an invasion of privacy. 
Ove
EH>r 200 named or covernamed persons found in the VENONA translations,
EH>persons then present in the U.S., are claimed by the KGB and the GRU
EH>in their messages as their clandestine assets or contacts."

EH>The Venona Papers back up McCarthy's actions. He eventually went
EH>overboard, but before then, he was on the right track.

EH>Interestingly, the Russians are still spying on the US. The Obama
EH>administration doesn't want anyone to pay attention to that fact
EH>seeing how fast they made the swap deal with Russia even before the
EH>10 spies were convicted.

Sauer forget show many devout communists were in the FDR administration 
at the end of WWII.
