Senatofr Byrd has not been a member of the Klan going back almost 5 decades.... That is a long time to be apologizin' fir is upbringin'... Folks in Wes Ginny back in the 40's were purdy danged racist and in many parts of Wes Ginny, still are today... The fact that this man has gone so far in correctin' his own demons and has demonstarted time and time agin in the Senate that he is a man who has changed speaks volumns about this man and his inner character....
He is what George Bush will never be...
... great man and an ispiration to anyone who is trying to make themselves a better person,,,
