Racism Whistleblower
Nothing "flipped" you repugnant ignorant leftist dumbass. Bird was a lifelong Democrat as were many of the other racists in the Democratic Party that fought the Johnson Admin on civil rights.
The Democratic Party does need ignorant dumbfucks like you to vote for their dishonest politicians that keep blacks in their democratically controlled Urban sewers.
Not sure who this "Bird" is, that our board moron is referring to ... but I do know Senator Byrd is a perfect example of how the parties did indeed flip when it comes to civil rights in the USA in the 1960s...

He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation," stated Hilary O. Shelton, Director of the NAACP Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy.
