NAACP MOURNS THE PASSING OF ROBERT BYRD

[Minister of Truth]

I'm sure all of the companies who publish public telephone directories also mourned the death of Robert Byrd.

He changed his fundamental political convictions, mid career...Just as Byrd did.
They both started out as squares and died as circles, to use your metaphor.
The takeaway is that you are wrong ... people can change ... and they can change 180 degrees.

The fact you think he changed, tells me you were not alive when Reagan was elected President. Reagan was never a fan of the public having guns to kill him.

"Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card. 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. "Senator Byrd was a master of the Senate Rules, and helped strategize passage of legislation that helped millions of Americans. He will be sorely missed."

Senator Byrd's legacy is successful civil rights legislation.
Only a racist, or someone who refuses to denounce racism, (we know who you are) would want his name removed from anything.

His stand on gun control may be so, but I watched Bonzo come and go as a political animal ...
He went from being a strong California liberal Democrat to becoming the darling of American conservatism.
