A “great” Democrat leader once said this:

[Roudy]

You're right. Ive tried to explain it to you, but you're just too dumb to understand.

You made excuses and told us he deserves redemption, because he’s a great Democrat.

 

[rightwinger]

They don't have to , they have not persecuted people of a certain skin color like Byrd. In any case, Byrds 'conversion' was purely political.

They don’t have to?

Republucans don’t have to support Civil Rights?

 

[Thunk]

Ask NOT what your country can do for you...ask what you can do for your country!

MY GOD what would IM2 say about that?

Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation,” stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. “Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.

Whatever it took to be re-elected. Nice gig.

NAACP is racist and has nothing do to with Civil Rights, it's a leftist political organization. Republicans are not racist like Byrd and the Democrats.

 

[Roudy]

I guess your detachment from reality still has not yet reached bottom.

Sad.

Five minutes!
In 1946, Byrd wrote a letter to Samuel Green, the Ku Klux Klan's Grand Wizard, stating, "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."[31] The same year, he was encouraged to run for the West Virginia House of Delegates by the Klan's grand dragon; Byrd won, and took his seat in January 1947.

They changed so much that after a 100 years they elevated a KKK leader to leadership in the senate?

They elevated an ex-kkk leader to leadership in the senate.

No excuses. He earned redemption.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Yet somehow.

Yes yet somehow once you become a Democrat, you can be as racist, corrupt, treasonous as you want to be, and non of it matters.

Jealous? Man, you boofed this OP.

Byrd is tearing down statues from the grave..

You witnessed it?

 

[g5000]

 

[g5000]

Democrat or Republican, the one thing all Klansmen have in common is that they are far right Christian terrorists.

 

[jc456]

So let’s get this straight, they tear down and deface Lincoln’s statue, but Byrd’s gets to stay. Being Democrat today requires some kind of ongoing mental illness.

[BlindBoo]

When did he renounce the Klan?

 

[White 6]

Of course they would, he was a great fund raiser. But fact remains a was a vile racist pig.

Wow, Roudy. Winger is a patient crafty old goat, and is chewing your strawman to pieces and shitting it out without breaking a sweat.

 

[jc456]

When did he renounce the Klan?

When he didn’t leave
