[Captain Peter Blood]

Rank Hypocrisy will on be display at Byrd's funeral. All of his Senate Colleagues will be on hand saying beautiful eloquent lies about him at his funeral and the man was Racist pure and simple yet because he was a Democrat he will portrayed as “Beloved”. Will Obama speak and say sweet lies about Byrd??

Now contrast that with the Late Sen. Strom Thurmond, at his funeral even some of his closest Senate Colleagues would not attend because of his so called past and he was treated disrespectfully. Yet from all accounts he gave a lot of Blacks starts on his staff and helped a lot them along in their political and/or government careers. Did Byrd do anything of the same??????

Thurmond did change, beginning in the '60s. We have no clue about Byrd.
