Reply #157: Sorry, no time machine

[Madspirit]

...but people can change and the change can have substance. I almost appreciate people more, who have seen the Dark, been part of the Dark and ultimately chosen the Light. Byrd's KKK was a long, long time ago and it is not him now and hasn't been him for a long, long time. We don't have a time machine so he cannot erase his history but we do have a sincere apology. I am not a pound-of-flesher and see no point in holding that against him, since it is NOT him now.

The Republicans had to use a giant Barbie stand to keep Strom standing. We need Byrd. He's a good man.
