The party of Robert Byrd is alive and well.


Bivins Hollar likes to post videos from his bedroom. About weight loss. About Pokemon cards. About selling chewing gum at a flea market.

But it’s the video where he casually talks about “shooting” and starving black South Africans – and kidnapping the country’s president – that caught the attention of people who track white supremacists.

Hollar, who is running for the N.C. Senate from Catawba County, is one of two Democratic candidates whom state party officials have taken the unusual step of denouncing.

The other is Carrol Crawford, a former Ku Klux Klan leader once convicted of burning a cross in Charlotte. He’s running for Rowan County commissioner.

“The North Carolina Democratic Party believes that hate-based, violent, racist positions are fundamentally anti-American,” said party chairman David Parker.

“While we support an open democracy and the freedom of eligible citizens to seek elective office, we condemn any individual who uses his or her candidacy to spread fear and advocate violence regardless of their party affiliation.”

Hollar, 28, faces Democrat Jody Inglefield in a primary in heavily Republican District 42, long represented by GOP Sen. Austin Allran.

Contacted by the Observer, Hollar denied making the video about South Africa.

“I didn’t do it,” he said. “… I do not know what you’re talking about.”

As he put a reporter on hold, the video disappeared from YouTube.

I'm pretty sure, based on past events, that it is more likely that the Republican party is the party of the KKK. Just count the number of black Republicans versus black Democrats. [face_duh]
