A southern white rich ass plantation owner/politician from the post depression first half of last century who hated niggers....COME ON...HOW CAN THAT BE???.

I refer back to the cat changing it's stripes. Thurmond grew up, and so did his constituency. Things ain't like they used to be. Strom figured it out and was the first to do something about it.

I know what he filibustered, and see it in just about every freakin' pub I come across.

To be electable for more than fifty years in and of itself makes him worthy of respect. To offer so much of yourself to public service in and off itself makes him a great man. It could also make him a crook or a scroundrel, or out of touch with reality, but those are other demons all together.

Please don't act like he was the devil incarnate...or if he is please enlighten me. I haven't seen it yet.

For the record, I usually take Paul Harvey at face value.
