If that is true, then how come he was the first southerner to hire a black on his staff. Could he have hired blacks on his staff if he were racist? no.

The truth is that he repudiated his racist views. Why can't you give the man credit for turning away from his racist roots?

And dare I remind you that Al Gore's dad voted against civil rights! How come Dems are never challenged for their racist views?

That's a blatant misrepresentation of Gore Sr.'s views. He voted against ONE civil rights act, in 1964, but his reasons were not racist in nature, and he subsequnetly repudiate the vote and apologized.

1. In 1956, Al Gore sr. was one of only two Southern senators who refused to sign the racist Southern Manifesto.
2. Voted against the Poll Tax of 1942
3. Voted for Civil Rights Act of 1957
4. Nominated 2 young black students from Memphis for appointment to US Air Force Academy - risky in Tennessee in 1957
5. Voted for 1965 Voters Rights Act
6. 1968 Fair Housing Act
7. Al Gore Sr. apologized for his 1964 vote and called it a big mistake. He said he was concerned that it went to far to fast and would be used to cut off funding of schools who appeared to be in violation.

This is not the voting record of a racist.

Dems are challenged for their racism. Byrd is still tied to being in the KKK, despite his repudiation of it. And Thurmond WAS a Democrat, as were dozens of racist politicians who joined the GOP. Now I ask, why is it the most virulently racist Southern Dems jumped to the Republican party?

Ah Holy Warrior, Apolyton's very own version of Ann Coulter, minus her penis.

I suggest you read the thread and my posts and re-evaluate your above statement.

And then find any point where the posters you mentioned defended or even expressed a liking for Mr. Byrd.

Now wipe the froth from your mouth and go back to the trailer.

As said before... Thurmond was beaten in the governor's race in 1950 because he hired a black physician to the medical board. He also was the first Senator to hire a black aide. He backed the bill making Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday a national holiday. And the guy that wrote a Thurmond biography (Jack Bass, quoted earlier by Sava) says that he thinks Strom was embarrassed by his past.

well I may be mistaken on that liberal bit.

But from what I've heard about liberals recently. They even treat peadophiles fairly. And there is some professor in Kansas who says he can understand why peadophiles are the way they are.

Personally, I don't like racists. But I do no rejoice at their death.

I think if some of you look, you will find some of your own family members are racists. I bet most of you have someone like that. Would you rejoice at their death?

My father was a bit racists, and my mother is sometimes racists. My uncle is really a racist.

While I don't respect their position of racism, I don't hate them. It can be difficult to hate your own family.

I am not racist, because I'm one of those geeks who did what he was told to in elementary school. I believed all that stuff that PBS fed me. And I do believe it is wrong to be racist.

But it's a character flaw. That doesn't make them a bad person. Thoughts do not make someone bad, action does. If they acted on that racism it would be a different story.

So paedophiles should be treated unfairly? That would seem to run contrary to the basis of our judicial system. And so what about the professor? Isn't trying to understand why paedophiles are the way they are an important step towards treating them and preventing them from harming children? None of this is any sign that the liberals you seem to want to demonize are condoning paedophilia. On the contrary, liberal activist groups who have been among the most vocal against the Catholic Church's harboring of sex criminal priests.

Funny how you seem to have such compassion and understanding for racists, but then go on the bash liberals at every turn. Priorities?

Uh, what's wrong with treating pedophiles fairly? What are you saying?

They shouldn't get lawyers to defend against charges? They should be denied due process?

Oh, and if we can cure pedophila did you ever think that that will benefit both kids and pedophiles?
