Local Freepers should have a protest march outside of the WV Capitol building, calling Byrd’s prominence a Macro Aggression. Too late. The left is already protesting there to advocate the removal of the statue of Stonewall Jackson.

Every piece of legislation with Robert Byrd's name on it should be automatically repealed. Re-vote everything with Byrd's name on it... If not fast enough, let some liberal mob pull down the Senate.
Is that the world liberals want us to live in?
Where does this stop? At the point where it starts to hurt democrats? That's my guess.

West Virginia Capitol (Senator Robert Byrd Statue), Charleston, WV Tear it down. Take some black freepers and friends that are against the kkk and tear it down. Make sure all the signs say "No KKK in WV"

Let his name stay on Green Bank. He got the funds to rebuild it after it collapsed, and it is in a special transmitter-free area.

President Trump please call for the Democrat party to be disbanded. NO group in America is more associated with slavery, insurrection, church bombings and pure racist hatred. How dare they hide behind confederate statues they ARE the confederacy. Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah

People never seem to remember that Byrd turned on the KKK, explicitly repudiated his racist past, and worked to combat racism.
I believe in the transformative power of change and the ability of people to outgrow their past mistakes. For this reason I’m unwilling to use him as a club against Democrats the way so many other people do.
I would also be willing to forgive any of those Nazis from Charlottesville that did the same as him.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with forgiveness or transformation. Do you not see that?
History bears out that democrats are the party of racist words and actions for the most part.
Yet they get to decide who/what is racist or not racist. And if we disagree with them, we prove they’re right somehow!
It’s whatever they say .. at their discretion.
So now they want to delete American history on their whims and we’re not supposed to fight back with the “clubs” we have available? I pray we’re not that passive. I know Pres. Trump isn’t.

Does this article mention that Byrd was a democrat?
