"The main thing that shocked us was when Gavin said Sen. Byrd told him that the reason he joined the Klan back then was because of its strong anti-communist stance," he explained.

That's hilarious! Byrd is about the most anticapitalist Senator we have.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I believe West Virginia passed a law against lynching in 1931, but I have no idea how well it was enforced.

Byrd was a high-ranking Kleagle, one who recruited and groomed future Klansmen, so it wouldn't surprised me if he knew about or perhaps even participated in lynchings or cross-burnings.

If Fox can get this story, it will start to grow some legs.

"Mr.Gavin, did Senator Byrd participate in the lynchings of any blacks while he was a member of the KKK?

Mr. Gavin, "I don't know, but I'll check and get back to you on that."

(The script was made up by me, but I wish it had happened.)

By the way, since the Senate hasn't yet passed a reorganization rule (I believe that's true,) doesn't that mean KKK Byrd is still chairman of the Appropriations Committee and president pro tem, fourth in the line of presidential succession?

No offense, but this story won't matter unless it finds it's way to CBSABCNBCCNN. Otherwise, it's hearsay and internet babble. I don't like it either but that's the way it is.

Man oh man, what I would give to have some of these posters be allowed to ask questions of our political leaders. Dare I say it? FREEPERS are TOUGH!
