Byrd and Thurmond, only Adam Clymer can tell them apart.
Strom Thurmond, Foe of Integration, Dies at 100
And:
Robert C. Byrd, a Pillar of the Senate, Dies at 92
Both opposed civil rights initially. Both converted to support civil rights. One was an outspoken member of the Ku Klux Klan. One was not. Wanna guess which was which?
Oh, and one died a Democrat, the other not.
Both obits were written by Adam Clymer for The New York Times. Guess we know where his priorities are. Objective news not being too high on his list apparently.
Hat tip to Doug Powers at MichelleMalkin.com.
