There is no reason for someone to hold office for 50+ years. No reason whatsoever.
Nothing is true, everything is permitted...
As a grand wizard, I would assume he could just cast a spell of healing or something. Is that not how it works?
This aint gonna be a Harry Potter Burial

They should carve this on the coot's gravestone:
He was 23 on the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Yet he didn't serve during WWII. In addition to being a racist bastage, he was a coward."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
good riddance.

Looks like it's time to celebrate!

Stay classy as always, whose next on the list?

So, in 10 short months the Senate has been purged of its only KKK member, as well as the only Senator who had ever killed a woman.
Totally agree. Nobody on either side. Get a real job.
Remember when conservatives were lecturing the liberals on remaining classy when one of theirs was sick?

Just a repost from another site. We're better off as a country for him not being in the Senate any longer. Wish he'd gone a long time ago. Hope God has mercy on his soul.
A few things you probably won't hear about from the worthless "reporters" in the MSM.
Byrd was not just a "casual" member of the KKK for a short period of time. He officially joined the klan in 1942. He was a Kleagle, basically a recruiter convincing others to join the Klan. Byrd himself bragged that he had recruited over 150 members for his local chapter. And while Byrd himself worked very hard to convince others to join the Klan, no one recruited him. He was the one that initiated contact with the Klan, according to his own autobiography, after seeing a newspaper ad. Joining the Klan was all Byrds idea from the get go. They must have really seen eye to eye, because within a few years his local chapter elected him Exalted Cyclops.
Byrd publically claimed he left the Klan in 1943, but this is a highly dubious claim at best, especially given that in 1945 he wrote a letter to Mississippi’s Senator Theodore Bilbo stating he would never "fight in the armed forces with a Negro at my side". Then later in 1947 he wrote a letter to Dr. Samuel Green, the Imperial Wizard of the Klan at the time, in which he stated “The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation.”
In 1964 Byrd fillibustered the Civil Rights Act for more than 14 hours, during that time he made the argument that the founders did not intend that the words "All men are created equally" in the Declaration of Independence were meant to be interpreted literally. “Men and races of men differ in appearance, ways, physical power, mental capacity, creativity, and vision".
Also during this fillibuster Byrd went on to introduce a “study” from the book The Mind of Primitive Man that stated that white people’s brains weighed a few grams more than black people’s brains, and that whites were thus more intelligent. He even cited so called scriptural support for his segregationist views. All of this a full 21 years after he had supposedly "broken all ties" with the Klan.
In 1968 Byrd contacted the FBI, suggesting he give a speech condemning Dr. Martin Luther King on the floor of the Senate. The FBI declined.
Byrd is also the only Senator to have voted against both African American nominees to the supreme court, both a liberal (Marshall) and a conservative (Thomas). Since he voted against both, it's hard to imagine that it was political ideology that was his motivation.
Even as late as 2001, during a television interview Byrd used the n word repeatedly, and later had to apologize. He was referring to people as "white <expletive deleted>" several times thoughout the interview. He later claimed it was just an "expression" from his childhood.
Somehow, methinks the MSM will give this a big .. well, whitewash, if you'll forgive the obvious pun.
So you're saying movies were made about someone assassinating him, or openly hoping he croaked of a heart attack or something??
.
At least I'm not Jersey Sooner.
Had any of those sick conservatives ever advocated segregation, or driven an innocent woman off a bridge to her watery death?
Stay classy, Tuba. Stay classy.

Yes.

Well if you're gonna make up stuff to make your point, can you at least come up with something better than that??
Then they deserve about as much sympathy as Byrd does.
