Even after his resignation from the Klan, Byrd continued to hold it in high esteem, writing to the Klan's Imperial Wizard in 1946: "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia."
And Byrd was old enough to have participated in filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as to have voted against it after cloture along with 18 other Democrats -- in the name of the Constitution, of course.
GTCharlie: Exactly right. The left found Byrd useful and Byrd found changing his outward ways useful. The country was changing and if he wanted to survive politically, he'd have to change too. There is nothing noble about that.
Clearly, the Left would NOT whitewash this man's history if he were a Republican.
