Here's an interesting thing.
All except three of the Republican Senators who refused to sign the resolution apologising for lynchings also voted against additional funding to purchase extra amoured hummers for the troops in Iraq.
Here are the double-offenders against all that's sane and decent.
Bennett (R-UT)
Cochran (R-MS)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
Enzi (R-WY)
Grassley (R-IA)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hatch (R-UT)
Kyl (R-AZ)
Shelby (R-AL)
Sununu (R-NH)
Thomas (R-WY)
As for Cornyn, the Seantor from San Antonio, he gets the dubious distinction of being a triple offender after his infamous statement that he understood why extremists would attack judges. Mind, we shouldn't be surprised if Cornyn has a white sheet hidden in his closet. He supported the segregationist Wallace in the 1968 election. Wallace infamously said:
In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny . . . and I say . . . segregation today . . . segregation tomorrow . . . segregation forever."
One word: slime.
