Robert Carlyle Byrd (born November 20, 1917) is the senior United States Senator from West Virginia and a member of the Democratic Party.

Byrd witnessed Klan parades during his childhood in Matoaka, West Virginia. Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan when he was twenty four in 1942. His local chapter unanimously elected him Exalted Cyclops.[

When Byrd was twenty eight years old, he wrote about the 1945 racial integration of the military to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo:

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
—Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944

In 1997, he told an interviewer he would encourage young people to become involved in politics, but to "Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don't get that albatross around your neck. Once you've made that mistake, you inhibit your operations in the political arena."

=====================

Doesn't seem to have hurt Byrd though, since he's been a Democratic Senator for 50 years now.

Ahh, now I see why you like Democratics....


But on the other hand, the Dems were the first to put a woman on the Presidential/Vice-Presidential ticket.......... and the first to put up a Terrorist Muslim on the Ticket, and the first to put a black on the ticket and the first to put up a known criminal (accepting bribe from that contractor) and the first to put up a man without experience (senator for less than 2 years is only public office).
Did the man ever have a job?
Who is this man, Obama?
