He was a lone voice for Liberty during Congress' darkest hour; the
passage of the [not even] Patriot Act. He represented well.


You got that right Dave.


Who was Strom Thurmond?
James Strom Thurmond (December 5, 1902 – June 26, 2003) was an American
politician who served as the 103rd Governor of South Carolina and as a
United States Senator. He also ran for the Presidency of the United States
in 1948 as the segregationist States Rights Democratic Party (Dixiecrat)
candidate, receiving 2.4% of the popular vote and 39 electoral votes.
Thurmond later represented South Carolina in the United States Senate from
1954 to April 1956 and November 1956 to January 2003, at first as a Democrat
and after 1964 as a Republican, switching parties as the conservative base
shifted.

He conducted the longest filibuster ever by a lone senator in opposition to
the Civil Rights Act of 1957, at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, nonstop.
He later moderated his position on race, but continued to defend his early
segregationist campaigns on the basis of states' rights in the context of
Southern society at the time,[2] never fully renouncing his earlier
viewpoints.[3][4] After his death it was revealed that Thurmond and a black
maid, Carrie Butler, had a daughter whom Thurmond never publicly
acknowledged.

Shortly after Thurmond's death on June 26, 2003, Essie Mae
Washington-Williams publicly revealed that she was Strom Thurmond's
daughter. She was born to a black maid, Carrie "Tunch" Butler (1909–1948),
on October 12, 1925, when Butler, a minor at the time, was 16 years old, and
Thurmond 22.

Republican, racist, child rapist. Bet you hypocrites are PROUD.


Well, we're pretty darn happy that he was a child rapist while he was a Democrat.
