re: #53 researchok

Robert Byrd was no Republican.

Look, it’s not a simple matter. My point was and remains that for a long time both parties played the race game.

There is no need to rewrite history. It was what it was.

What’s the point in bringing up that point? It’s like saying, “Well, LGF used to be anti-Muslim, so…”. What matters is the current situation. The party label is relative. It doesn’t matter a whit that Lincoln was a Republican, for example, since for all intents and purposes it was a different party.
