You mean like the hypocrisy of calling the President half-Kenyan for the sole purpose of trying to degrade the man, then in the same sentence dissing another regarding civil rights?

Byrd disavowed his KKK past a long time ago, and has spent the subsequent years doing a great deal of good for society through his position as a way of atonement.
