In fairness to Sen. Byrd, noone has ever accused him of participating in a lynching and he has said that he never did. We wanted to know what he did in the Klan and what the Klan was doing in West Virginia during the 1940s when Byrd a member and writing fawning letters about the Klan a few years later.

As the article states, we got no answers except for the incredulous reason given for him joining the Klan.

. . . no one has ever accused him of participating in a lynching . . .

I wonder if anyone has ever investigated it? If Byrd were a Republican, what would Mike Wallace and 60 Minutes do? They'd take a camera crew to West Virginia, find some old timers with a good story to tell and win a prestigious award in journalistic reporting.

That's what I'd like to see done here.

(Don't take this as criticism; I LOVE what you guys are doing. Thank you so much! :-))

Well, if he was wearing one of those white sheets, how are we to know? I would almost bet that if we had a proper investigation, we would find that he still owns white sheets. I would just betcha.
