He was born in NC because he wanted to be with his mother. He moved north at a young age and is your boy. Own him proudly.

Byrd's family on both sides was from North Carolina.

He wore his Confederate loyalty on his sleeve.

It's why he was a Democrat.

His great-grandfather served in the Confederate Army and deserted his family and ran off to Indiana after the war. That didn't make him any less a Confederate when it counted. So it was with Bob.

You know I was wondering, if the next Oscars, when they go through all the people that died the previous year, if they’ll include Sheets?

LMAO!!!

And Libturd Martin Sheen played Lee because of HIS love for the Confederacy.

The truly funny thing is that none of that changes the fact that W. Va is a NORTHERN state.

But don’t let historical fact get in the way of your fantasy.

Spare the hollywood bull. You are WAY over-analyzing the significance of Byrd's cameo.

Phil Gramm played a secessionist politician in that very same movie. Are you gonna make the claim that he had some secret "confederate loyalty" too?
