but i don't believe Byrd's statements were AT ALL disrespectful of the Holocaust & Jews.

Santorum, an image focused hack, is nothing compared to Byrd, a well-read historian of substance.

i didn't like the ADL's criticism of Byrd b/c Byrd wasn't IMHO diminishing the Holocaust & it really gave a pro-Republican Jewish group (not to mention Santorum) cover to criticize Byrd for partisan purposes.

my opinion.
