  • Robert Byrd 1917-2010, U.S. Senator 1959-2010, U.S. congressman 1953-1959, A great American and a great patriot. R.I.P.

  • Looks like the slack jawed, mouth breathing reactionaries, with their mindless persiflage attempting a coup on the backs of the dead. Put on you jack boots you slope browed ridge runners. This is about bluegrass, haven't you noticed?

  • Its sad that his career had to end like this, but thank god hes finally gone. Such a long series of shameful displays and pandering should have ended 50 years ago.

    you have to wonder what the other choices were that the people voted for and old KKK member. I'm embarrassed for west Virginia. not as embarrassed as i am for minnesota, but thats another deal

  • Senator Byrd is dead and buried.

  • My not like his politics, but love his cultural love of music.

  • @goptwothemax if u read the Trance-formation of America by Cathy O'brien who was his sex slave, a 'Presidential model' no less...(who was later rescued and deprogrammed..) u would also learn that this 'legend' was a pedophile, mind controller, monarch handler, drug pushing, racist , prostitution pushing, bestality porn pushing, stun gun toting, torturing reptilian hybrid..

    i sincerely hope this creature is now deposited where he belongs in the firey bowels of hell for all eternity..

  • @SovereignBeing He may of been that but the man is dead,

    I'm from the south & i'm not for sure how you do it were your from, but we tend not to speak ill of the dead.

  • @goptwothemax - well it doesnt matter where i'm from!.. the truth remains the truth, dead or not ..! that reppie was evil to the core.. !

  • @goptwothemax - oh yeah and we do not DIE, we are immortal, infinite beings,

    so its likely this old prick has reincarnated by now to cause more suffering anyway..

    quit feeling sorry for it..!

  • @SovereignBeing Agreed obviously a sick fuck..i think naturally he wud gravitate to the depth's hell where he belongs

  • @GazMysticism a tlast!! someone who recognizes evil and will call it out.!! im sick of people defending these barbaric creatures...! well done mate..u made my day..! ol

  • @SovereignBeing I guess not so many people are aware of his true nature...the more these so called political people are exposed the better,After reading Trance formation of america i feel sickened an out raged to what these evil sick soulless demons/Aliens watever they r get up to

  • @GazMysticism totally... that book was a real eye opener for me too and am must read for all who really want to witness what is actually going on here with our political 'leaders' - their time is coming and they will be exposed in the near future.. their facade is crumbling.. and humans will have the last laugh... i guarentee that..!

  • @farblonjet

    And I was pointing out that you are both an idiot and a hypocrite. Point taken.

  • @farblonjet

    And are you next going to tell me that you have never, in your life, done anything wrong that you haven't owned up to? And you expect to insult my intelligence by expecting me to believe that? Sorry to burst your bubble but.....................

  • @farblonjet

    Thank you for that bit of enlightenment to a dense moron from an idiot who doesn't realize he has given an insult. I still say, glad you're not the judge. Read your comments again and see if you can find the compliment in it. If you can, then you're even less intelligent than you seem.

  • @farblonjet

    And you............. are an idiot.

  • @farblonjet

    Know something farblonjet? Thank Heaven you won't be judging either Senator Byrd or Senator Thurmond. You will probably have enough to worry about with your own covered sins. Just because the rest of the world doesn't know about them doesn't mean you don't have them, just like all the rest of us. But we will each only have to answer for our own sins.

  • I like how nobody commented on the music.

  • @farblonjet not sure if i know what you mean. i don't think comparisons are in order. everyone makes mistakes regardless of whether someone else points them out or not. i am simply stating that i like a person who admits when they were wrong and i think that shows good character. seems like less smoke and mirrors there.

  • Comment removed

  • to farblonjet. Come to West Virginia and I will discuss the matter with you!

  • @farblonjet

    The man changed a lot since he was a young man. He wasn't in the klan very long, and even though he voted against civil rights in the 60's... he voted for it in many ways afterwards. He regretted and publicly apologized numerous times for his racist past. No one is saying the man was perfect, but he did a lot in the senate to help the state of West Virginia... no one else was going to do it, so I say GOD BLESS ROBERT BYRD!

  • @farblonjet

    He worked very hard to overcome the mistakes of his past. He admitted his wrong doings repeatedly, the man did a lot for his state. He was a rare politician, he was honest... how many honest politicians do you know of? Perhaps you should try to learn more about someone before slapping a label on them... you know, not be prejudiced.

  • The way people can bash the memory of a man who was brave enough to admit to his mistakes only after he is dead shows cowardice in my opinion. As a proud resident of West Virginia I mourn his death like many others in my state. WV would not have anything without him. The numerous buildings and highways in the state are evidence of all the times he fought to secure money to an area who needed. He was a Son of Marshall and a damn good one at that Marshall U. mourns him.

  • Robert Byrd is my hero. He has admitted to making the mistakes that he did. How many politicians admit it when they are wrong?

  • @utwombat Only those that know it would be politically expedient. He was a master politician and only a small handful of people have come out to challenge his polished image and the allegations against him are very serious. Read Trance formation of America, that book has not been refuted once in court and the legal documents supporting the allegations are very real.

  • @firestrings272

    The reason it hasn't been refuted in court is that the allegations in it are so ludicrous that no one wants to embarrass themselves by having anyone think that they could even lend credence to such rediculous accusations. I suppose you still believe in things that go bump in the night also. Read more about psychology, and you'll find that even under hypnosis, a person will not perform acts that are imbedded in them to be wrong. Reality check?

  • @witchoneisit Hey believe what you want. But what she wrote in her book has all been verified, not only by independent researchers but when you have incidents like the Franklin child abuse scandals, the Presidio child abuse scandals, CIA drug running during Iran Contra and Mena Arkansas, all independently reported on and then psychotronic weapons as well. And then Cheney shooting a lawyer friend in a "hunting" accident, sounds like she's saying the truth.

  • @firestrings272

    Verified by who? I will believe what I want, and I believe I'll stick with common sense.

    And none of that drivel makes sense to me at all.

  • @witchoneisit Hey I think it's crazy too, but the truth is what it is. Whether a person chooses to accept it or not is another matter.

  • @witchoneisit It's spelled ridiculous not rediculous. Damn, you're ignorant.

  • @careyleefisher

    Thanks for the spellcheck hillybilly hoe. At least I've got common sense, which you sorely lack. And frankly, I don't give a shit about you either, so we're even. So why don't you crawl back under your rock or go work your street corner before your mother takes it away from you.

  • @witchoneisit Wow, you actually spelled everything right that time. I'd be really proud of you if it weren't for the fact that your profile says you are over 50 with the spelling of a 9 year old and the wit and intellect of a 3 year old. My mother works street corners? That's seriously the best you have? I hope your next predictable "welfare" insult is spelled correctly.

  • @careyleefisher

    Why thank you very kindly for the compliments. I really shouldn't have said what I did about your mother, seeing as how she probably got her training straight from the family pole. I mean, some family trees just don't branch do they. tsk tsk.

  • He was against going into Iraq! That is enough for me to like him.

  • I am about as far right as you get, to some, I am a right wing extremist, I was raised in WV, hated Byrd's left ways, but I loved to watch him fight it out in the senate. He did do alot financial wise for WV. I am a Republican, but I think about the best person to step up would be Gov. Mansion. Anyways, love him or hate him, Byrd, take the Country Roads Home!

  • the green fly state deserves robert byrd as their claim to fame, as well as the inbred capital of the world..the state song country roads..is not even about their state..it refers to the western parts of the old dominion..blue ridge mountains, shenadoah valley are not in the green fly state..byrd was a pure idiot anyway..

  • Thank you Senator Byrd for the 58 yrs you served as a public servant for the citzens of the great state West Virginia. Rest in peace.

  • i'd rather watch ru paul

  • Does anyone know the names of the songs?

  • @vintagefish921 The song at 3:50 is west virginia hills the anthem of the great state.

  • he is the reason we dont need people in congress for a lifetime.

  • oxy, in the South all fiddlers play Dixie

  • Can we all at least agree that he was a pretty darn good fiddle player?

  • RIP Senator Byrd...Appalachia and America will miss you

  • So what your saying is that if Bin Ladin simply says he's sorry then he's worthy of our admiration? A terrorist is a terrorist!

  • He's got a heavy mute on his bridge. Still some good tone.

  • The nicest version of Take me Home, Country Roads I ever heard!

  • " The Bonnie Lass of Bon Accord "

  • Peace be with you Robert C. Byrd, welcome home.

  • Watch all these Liberals change their tune if video of Byrd playing Dixie emerges.

  • @OxyConservative I'd love it, then again, I may be beyond liberal.

  • a true West Virginian, will be gravely missed

  • fuck this cracker

  • @mercednative

    Jealous?

  • R.I.P. RCB u will be missed by all west virginias democrat and reoublican

  • can someone name me another senator that defended the bible and constitution so well or could recite them both?

  • I am a die hard Republican, But no other Senator has done more for his state than Robert C. Byrd. Unlike other congressman/senator's who run around on there wives and make a complete mockery of our Government, Mr. Byrd was was a loving family man.  God bless the Byrd family and the great state of WEST VIRGINIA!!! Your contributions to WV will live on forever!

  • RIP Sen Byrd..........

  • I'm a Republican, and a proud Appalachian. We are a poorer country today. Unfortunately, there ain't none left in Congress like Robert C. Byrd, and very few in America. God bless West Virginia. Grow us some more like him before it's too late.

  • @swampdog12345

    Im just like you. Im a Tea Party Libertarian, but, Byrd is one of my heroes.

  • Its a sad day for West Virginians and the United States of America . Not only did Senator Byrd watch out for West Virginia he watched out for the United States as well. He was a role model to alot of people young and old. It's also a great day for Mr. & Mrs. Byrd knowing that they have been reunited together again and how much happier they are today.

  • maybe he's playing this song in eternity now? RIP..

  • And I'll add it's an extreme shame that one's legacy is marred by something the guy did as a young man. Did we not all stupid choices when we were young?

  • RIP to our beloved Senator Byrd. He loved West Virginia and it's people. His legacy will always live on. He was a great American!

  • RIP Senator! I will always remember him as the lone voice of reason against the Iraq invasion. That was a beautiful speech, too bad nobody listened.

  • God Bless Senator Byrd. We will miss him here in West Virginia. He was a good man, owned up to his mistakes and worked like hell for his constituents. We won't see his like again and I'm sorry for that. Goodbye dear friend, now you'll be reunited with Erma.

  • Goodbye Grand Keagle Robert "Sheets" Byrd. The Klan will miss you and recruiting of new members for us. Also thank you for your letter to Senator Bilbo. The Klan lost a great member today.

  • @bluebrdz

    Too bad we can't lose closet hypocrites like you. Thank you weasel for your braindead lame comments about a great man that you knew nothing about.

    Thank you for shooting off your ignorant mouth and reminding us all what ignorance really sounds like.:)

  • @witchoneisit The truth must hurt you so much that your foul mouthed bile overtakes your obvious insanity.

  • @bluebrdz

    My insanity? Brilliant summation there. You sound like a narrow minded, air headed broad. lol I think you should have your own psychological evaluation done before you make rash judgments on those you don't know. Better check. Your meds are probably due soon.

  • @bluebrdz well said.... I simply pity the fool

  • RIP: Robert C. Byrd, Fiddler, Politician, US Senator and patriot. I'm from New York CiTY and I'll miss you. I'm glad that there is plenty of material of you on YouTube.

  • RIPP; Robert C. Byrd, Fiddler, Politician, Patriot. You live in our hearts and we still get to see you on YouTube.

  • Thank you..

  • Rest in peace Mr Byrd, West Virginia is going to miss you!

  • He and Acuff and Monroe are sure punching it up now. Let's hope it's not just Almost Heaven but the real thing.

  • he is a good fiddlist,,,

  • Senator Byrd? You mean the racist Democrat who gets a pass because he's a Democrat? tsk

  • He needs God's blessings because I think he's doomed to hell for what he did to Cathy O'Brien. He is a very sick and twisted man. Read the book yourself.

  • @sunnyisthebesteva

    Are you people seriously that retarded?  sheeeeeeeeesh.

  • God Bless Senator Byrd!

  • I hope that Senator Robert C. Byrd burns in hell a million years! Cathy O'Brian's book "Trance-Formation of America" is available free on the internet in pdf. I hope you have a strong stomach!

  • Tranceformation of America: Cathy O'Brien & Mark Phillips... enough said about the C Byrd.

  • yeah - wonder why they aren't showing how he "played" Cathy O'Brien - gees.

    Gozzmaster - you rock !

  • @roejter06

    Gee whiz. Do you believe Alice in Wonderland is real? Afraid of vampires too I guess. Will you people ever be too old to believe in things that go bump in the night? Where is common sense now?

  • he plays a mean fiddle

  • NOt a fan of Sen Byrd's politics, but am fiddler and he is pretty good. thanks for posting.

  • Amazing!

  • Paedophile rapist, check out the book Trance formation of America

  • @Gozzmaster

    Trance Formation of America: Book of crap written by some ditzy people who love the attention they get from other nutcases.

  • @witchoneisit Like you would know! But I like your pathetic attempt to belittle the book and it's authors, you almost made me laugh. What a great use of vocabulary you have, are you sure you are 53 and not 13. Whatever your views on the book, it is there to be read and questions will be raised. At the end of the day Byrd is dead and I for one will not be mourning his passing.

    P.S Thanks for advertising the book even more, bless

  • he is better at music then he is at politics.

  • On 25th CMA Country Music Awards he did "Goin Down This Road Feelin' Bad"

    He added one verse about the congress.

    Can you obtain it?

  • How many things are named after Byrd in WV...highways, bridges, a prison, office complexes, etc., etc. He will not stop until every last toilet in WV is named after him. He is the poster boy for term limits.

  • You focus on the projects like medical school and technology centers. They are positive for this area. His defense and knowledge of the US Constitution is my reason for promoting his legacy. He helped the nation survive George Bust the enemy of the big C.

  • Hell with the politics, He's good with the musicality, which I think is most important.

    Just wish I can get his performance on 25th CMA Country Music Awards.

    I'm Republican and Sen. Byrd can come pick with me any day of the week.

    Along with Gov. Huckabee.

    I'm a picker myself.

    GOT TIME TO BREATHE GOT TIME FOR MUSIC.................BRISCOE DARLING

  • where'd you find this this is gold

  • amn, I hate this old bastard! He is a total embarrassment to the state of West Virginia! As a native West Virginian it absolutely stuns me that this narcissistic, senile and racist piece of sh*t keeps getting elected term after endless term! He has done nothing for this state other than guarantee that every building and pork project he secures bears his name on it. He has helped keep this state in poverty while he feeds his own massive ego! Can not wait until this scumbag is out of our lives!

  • He's even worse than that.

    Do a google search for Transformation of America by Mark Phillips and Cathy Obrien

  • I completely disagree with you. I had to do a project on pork spending for class and I did it on Robert Byrd. When I was done I realized pork doesn't equal waste. His projects are to help native West Virginias in the areas with the most need. He isn't spending money on outlandish projects. If I was a West Virginian I would be proud that Robert Byrd is my Senator.

  • Comment removed

  • West Virginia is mired in poverty, stagnant wages, a poor education system and the number 1 employer in this state is Wal Mart. As a lifelong native and resident of West Virginia, and not someone who did a project for a class, let me assure you that Robert C. Byrd has had absolutely nothing to do with success in this state and a great deal to do with perpetuating the problems. This state flounders in poverty while Byrd erected a statue of himself, on the taxpayer's dime, in the state capital.

  • You are stupid - people like you give WV a bad name. Talk to us again once Senator Byrd is not around anymore and tell me what you think then. Without him this state will suffer tremendously. Fellow West Virginians like you make me ashamed to be a West Virginian. You think Joe Manchin will create as many jobs as Byrd?!? Don't come crying to us when you realize how wrong you are.

  • When the Hell did I ever say Manchin was any better than Byrd? It's people like you who continue to put this old racist bastard in office decade after decade while West Virginia rots in stagnant wages and poor education. Byrd is helping shut down coal production with his ignorant support of Cap and Trade. Can you name one thing that Byrd did that had a lasting impact once the construction phase was over? Can you tell me without slinging insults or are you too damn stupid for that?

  • Personally, I am a republican and I believe he does an excellent job representing our great state. The only real issue I ever had with him was being for the new health care bill.... but overall he is great.

  • @Lucas6194

    Nice Lucas.

  • @Araskaz thanks randy

  • @Lucas6194 O.K. Everybody gets it! You're a republican and you think Byrd's great! Go rent a billboard or something.

  • @skunkypilot Indeed, and sorry I don't have the funding to rent a billboard.

  • Let me assure you that I am a West Virginian and I am not proud that Byrd is my Senator. Ashamed and embarrassed but not proud. Pork does equal waste. The great majority of his wasteful projects do not generate any income at all once they are completed. The only ones who benefit from many of his projects are the construction companies from Ohio and Pennsylvania that come to West Virginia to build the latest Byrd project. How does that help his constituents?

  • Would you mind telling me why erecting a statue of yourself in the state capital and attempting to expand a runway to a size equal to Laguardia in an airport that is so small it only measures 500,000 SF are not outlandish and wasteful pork projects?

  • @careyleefisher

    And you are what gives West Virginia a bad name. It is ingrates like you who don't recognize anything positive. Other states are jealous that he was intelligent enough to find the funds that were left lying around, and used them for the benefit of a poverty stricken state. You are the true scumbag. And a closet hypocrite at that. Can't wait until naive idiots like you move somewhere else. If you don't like West Virginia, why don't you just leave.

  • @witchoneisit I am the second person you have called a closet hypocrite. Try being a little more original next time.

    And these funds you say were "lying around" were not a quarter someone dropped on the floor. They were funds he monopolized because of his position. He was not smarter than other Senators. He just had first dibs on the Government cookie jar.

    And by the way, why would I move somewhere else now that this egotistical bastard Byrd is dead? Things can only improve from here.

  • @careyleefisher

    Oh, and you really shouldn't cry as much, seeing as he probably brought in a lot of the funds that your welfare check was taken from.

  • @witchoneisit I have never accepted welfare. I didn't need "Big Daddy" Byrd to hold my hand. Now, he's dead so you better grow the Hell up in a hurry and learn to stand on your own two feet, Hillbilly! Things are about to get tough for the Byrd zombies like you. People like me, who saw through his bullshit a long time ago, will be just fine. This will be the last time I respond to you because, quite frankly, you bore me and I just really don't give a shit about you.

  • @careyleefisher

    Things aren't going to get any better in West Virginia as long as we have trash like you living here. Calling him a bastard. Are you really really sure about your parentage? lol You're not even intelligent enough to be a hillbilly. How sorry is that? lol

  • @witchoneisit Not even intelligent enough to be a hillbilly? What the Hell does that even mean? I like how you make attacks on people's intelligence yet you can't even spell the word hypocrisy while attacking people in other posts you have made. It's spelled hypocrisy not hypocrasy , moron.

    You bore me, hillbilly!

  • @witchoneisit Something tells me that you are another internet douche bag who finds a lot of bravery behind a keyboard but lacks the courage to speak like this to someone's face. The internet is full of psychos like you who would think twice about saying this to someone's face.

    You constantly sing the same note in your attacks. You really are pathetic. If you think Byrd was such a great man then why don't you do us all a favor and load your musket and go join him?

  • @careyleefisher Well said

  • @Gozzmaster Thanks Gozzmaster. Same to you!

  • @careyleefisher Well said

  • @careyleefisher

    Look who is calling who a coward? and internet douche bag. Lady grand canyon herself i'll bet. You would know about internet psychos wouldn't you, seeing as you're one of them. You and Gozzie got a thing going? lmao. You retards are hillarious when you all get together.

  • @witcho

  • @witchoneisit The level of your intelligence shines through and the use of your language is akin with a mere guttersnipe, your desperate personnel insults do nothing for your credibility.

  • @witchoneisit The level of your intelligence shines through and the use of your language is akin with a mere guttersnipe, your desperate personnel insults do nothing for your credibility.

  • satanist and torturing scumbag? Is this the guy that Cathy O´Brien named?

  • who is holding the camera...

  • Thomas Edison was holding the camera...this was shot after Edison hooked up an elephant to DC current. Barbaric!

  • Senile Dem Klansman.

  • I saw Sen. Byrd on CMA country awards playin the fiddle.

    He's a legend to bluegrass music.

    Is there any more of Sen. Byrd playin bluegrass music.

  • too bad there's no video of his involvement with MK ULTRA and CATHY OBRIEN!

  • If you all were as old as he is you would have been doing all that stuff as well the man's ancient but done a lot of great things for the state of West By God Virginia! Come here once or twice it's not all that bad. Sure there are rednecks but you see that in every state. Nobody's perfect ;)

  • I STAND by my comment! Did you understand what I said? HE OWNED AND HANDLED WHITE TRAUMA BASED SEX SLAVES FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!! IN AMERICA!! You damned RIGHT I don't live in West Virginia, because if I and people like me DID-this abusive, racist, perverted, torturer of human being's would never have had the chance to be a senator in America-there's a place for thug's like him-it's called PRISON-Doing HARD TIME!! No Hockey PUCK, YOU'RE THE IGNORANT ONE HERE-GO CHECK YOUR FACTS!

  • wat700son is right!

    Before you judge...why not watch Cathy Obrien's interviews and make your own call on if she's full of shit or not?

    We are living in 2 realities people!

    There's much more that isn't seen in this 5 sense reality!

  • Don't speak about what you don't know. You are speaking off of a few meaningless facts. The only one that matters is that he has done well for our state. Especially, our roads!

  • I'm only speaking of what I DO KNOW, and I don't consider him being a perverted handler of sex slaves, rapist and pedophile "meaningless facts" You better check your moral compass cowboy! Nobody gives a rat's ass about your roads. The people of America don't want twisted monkey's in our hall's of congress-We The People Deserve Better! Read the book Trance Formation Of America and educate yourself

  • You're speaking of what you DO KNOW...which isn't much. I've educated myself through the hands on experience, of 25 years of living in West Virginia. And I guarantee if your grandmother died because of an enormous pot hole in the road that caused her tire to bust, and spin out of control, causing her to collide head on with a coal truck. You would give a rats ass. Oh, and i'm far as hell from being a "cowboy". And you question my moral compass? You don't know me....

  • @wat700son

    The people of America are stuck with twisted monkeys that read crap like the Trance Formation of America. You know. The ones who believe everything they read?

    And don't know a rat's ass about the way things really are? Because they have their heads so far up their ass that they can't see daylight?

  • @witchoneisit oh tisk tisk...did I touch your sacred cow? that's just TOO bad

  • @wat700son

    Does your reference to cow happen to have anything to do with your wife? or self perhaps?

  • @witchoneisit bite me

  • @witchoneisit How do you know certain people believe everything they read and don't know a rats arse about the way things really are YOU DON'T! So get off your high horse, shut your potty mouth and start acting your age. Your desperate attempt at defending Byrd is cringe worthy, have you really nothing better to do?

  • @Gozzmaster

    Gozz, Thank you for the compliment. You're pretty sickening yourself. Potty mouth?

    Because I have an opinion. Well here goes dude. Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one and yours stinks. Fuck You very much.

  • @witchoneisit Hey grandpa it takes one to know one and I'm Teflon coated to your insults, come on they are pathetic and you are pretty much outnumbered here. Maybe there is something in what they are saying but you are to ignorant and stubborn to look into the possibility.

    P.S. Potty mouth (for those who know English and the source of your language)

  • This guy is freakin' nuts. And not in a good way.

  • Who the hell's working the camera here?

  • Hey people, question everything you hear and read. Just cause someone writes a book about child sex trade in Washington does not mean it's true, all though, it seems possible, and could be true.

    I propose to mandate all government officials in having to take lie detector tests, by a non government entity, before and during their terms....It's the only way to keep the scum out of office.

    What do you think?

  • Ah, Democrats... ;-)

    "Look at 'em. Ordinary fskcing people. I hate 'em."

    *sniff* "Me, too."

  • This sick fuck OWNED and HANDLED white trauma based sex slaves i.e. Cathy O'brien. This freak isn't a patriot, he isn't a "good and honorable man" His use of the "N" word is the lesser of his sins. And how do you take a dyed in the wool klansman and elect him to the senate? Robert Byrd, George Bush Sr.,Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, Bill&Hill Clinton, Gerald Ford, Ronald Regan and so many more are truely going to burn in hell for their downfall and destruction of humanity-They ALL have no more secrets!!

  • You obviously don't live in West Virginia. If you did, you would know that Byrd has done a hell of a lot for our state. He was in the klan 60 years ago and he denounce them in the 70's. You are ignorant.

  • you're damned right hes done alot for west virginia! it will be a sad day when he is gone. he's the only senator i have any respect for

  • we need more fiddling senators!

  • Enough of the KKK crap...that WAS 60 years ago, Byrd has admitted - repeatedly - that it was wrong, and he has changed his behavior.

    Senator Byrd opposed the stupid war, he opposed the enlargement of executive power, and he has endorsed Senator Obama. He is now clearly on the right side of history.

  • His use of the "N word" wasn't 60 years ago.

  • So the fuck what, grab a dictionary, dumbass... he used the so called "N word" in the CORRECT sense to refer to stupid people such as yourself. Every good and honorable thing this man has done in his entire life, and you're going to transfix on what? He was a klansman for a year before he was a pol and he said "white niggers" later on?  get the fuck over it, nigger.

  • Spoken like a true liberal, celebrating the new america. Truly disgusting.

  • Spoken like a true conservative, confused and bewildered that the US has rejected those principles, giving the popular vote to the liberal candidate in 6 out of the last 7 presidential elections. Truly pathetic.

  • They've rejected policies and beliefs that are alive and well in the democrat party. Racism, division, etc. By the way, do you have any of your OWN thoughts, or can you only reverse what I say? Freaking Obamautons, sheesh.

  • 6 of the last 7 presidential elections?

    Obama, Gore, Clinton, Clinton.

    Bush 41, Bush 43, Reagan.

    4 of the last 7 elections.

  • You're right, what I was trying to say was the liberal candidate got the popular vote in 4 of the last 5 presidential elections to point to a modern trend. For some reason I typed 6 of the last 7, which not only isn't accurate, it goes back to when Reagan was in office, which was truly the conservative heydey.

    It's an entirely different world in the 21st century than it was in the 1980's.

    If Robert Byrd was a REPUBLICAN do you REALLY think Democrats would EVER stop speaking about how he was a former Klansmen?

    I DON'T THINK SO.

    The IRONY about Robert Byrd being Democrat is that the Dems are ALWAYS playing the RACE CARD and conveniently ignore that they had a former Klansmen in the senate.

    btw I'm not a Republican and I'm black. and I NEVER supported Bush (so I took away ALL your talking points right there.... I'm not a teabag Republican racist

  • @marcdaddy33 Funny thing is, all these Byrd videos have comments sections mired in KKK talk. I can't go to one and not see it pop up.
