Relatively recently Chris Dood said about Byrd -

"It has often been said that the man and the moment come together. I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia that he would have been a great Senator at any moment. Some were right for the time. ROBERT C. BYRD, in my view, would have been right at any time. He would have been right at the founding of this country. He would have been in the leadership crafting this Constitution. He would have been right during the great conflict of civil war in this Nation."

So he supports a racist and its ok? I didn't say any campaign for Dodd to step down because of this.

First, who's Dodd? Second, why isn't the right raising a stink if they find Byrds behavior so offensive? Three, when did the Dems honor Byrd by making him a Senate whip.....clearly a very prominent position in any party........like the GOP was about to do with Trent Lott? It seems to me that Byrd is barely tolerated by the Dems whereas the GOP was prepared to honor Lott. I hope you can see the difference.
