Sen. Robert Byrd Endorses Obama

An Ex-Klansman endorsing a black guy, one has to appreciate the extreme irony of this.

The KKK was the Democrats terror wing, established after the civil war to make sure that the Democrats retained control of the southern state legislatures. It was the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that put a stop to the terror, an act that Senator Byrd led the Senate filibuster against. Senator Byrd was a prominent KKK figure in his time.
