Default Senator Birds passing...

No doubt that Mr. Bird had a looooong and storied influential background.

But watch the news coverage it seems a large piece of that backbround is missing. That is his past associations with the KKK.

It's not nice to speak ill of the deceased but its not nice to omit facts when your detailing someones history.

Can't say I'm sorry to see him go.

Always considered the bird to be a true pecker.

No it wont speak for itself because it will not be spoken of.

I just want to remind pepole that he was not the sterling example of society and politics.

You need to look at the "liberal" media. The BBC has him down as a former white supremacist who filibustered against the civil rights act and was in the KKK
The Guardian has him down as a former member of the KKK
CNN has him in the KKK and calls him the king of Pork.

So when you say the media ain't covering those angles do you mean that Glenn Beck just told you they were not

They cover so much they can,or even a bit more
