YUP! The Democrat (called DixiCrats) Conservative South was solid KKK for decades... Up until the Kennedy/ Johnson Civil Rights acts of the 60's. That act, ended the Conservative Democrat South and within a decade almost all Conservative Democrats were replaced with Conservative Republicans. The racists would never forgive the Democrat party for giving blacks civil rights so from that time on, the South (racists) has been Solid Conservative Republican.
Box, Byrd was from West Virginia, a union state, not a southern state. It doesn't change the fact that the senate democrat caucus elected him their senate leader from 77-87 - well after the civil rights bill was passed.

Try again.
Try again??? Try again what. Southern Dems changed from the Conservative racist Dems party to the party who supported and elected the first Black President. Where did all those racists go when the Dems passed the civil rights act??? They went to today's Republican Right Wing. Try what???

Card carrying KKK member Robert Byrd was elected senate majority leader by the democrat caucus in 1977. The Dixiecrats were in 1948. Are you saying democrats selected a dixicrat racist as their senate leader?
Yup..,Try again.
BTW...Obama isn't black, he's mixed races. Unless you are ignoring his mothers genetic contribution. War on women?

I don't know what I'm supposed to 'try again'. History is History. Should I "try again" to somehow change history??? Should I deny that Conservative Democrats were the heart of the KKK? History says that they were. Conservative Democrats (Dixicrats) held power as a voting block in the Democrat party well into the late 60's early 70's and because of their unity,they often dictated Dem Policy. Once the dems passed the civil rights act, they left the Dem party and these racist b@stards were welcomed into the Conservative Wing of the Republican party... you can still see their influence in today's TeaBaggers.
I'm sorry if History doesn't fit your opinion... maybe you should Try again!

There are a few surprising facts about how the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became law:
1. More Republicans voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act than Democrats
In the 1960s, Congress was divided on civil rights issues -- but not necessarily along party lines.
"Most people don't realize that today at all -- in proportional terms, a far higher percentage of Republicans voted for this bill than did Democrats, because of the way the Southerners were divided," said Purdum.
The division was geographic. The Guardian's Harry J. Enten broke down the vote, showing that more than 80% of Republicans in both houses voted in favor of the bill, compared with more than 60% of Democrats. When you account for geography, according to Enten's article, 90% of lawmakers from states that were in the Union during the Civil War supported the bill compared with less than 10% of lawmakers from states that were in the Confederacy.
Enten points out that Democrats still played a key role in getting the law passed.
"It was also Democrats who helped usher the bill through the House, Senate, and ultimately a Democratic president who signed it into law," Enten writes.
2. A fiscal conservative became an unsung hero in helping the Act pass
Ohio's Republican Rep. William McCulloch had a conservative track record -- he opposed foreign and federal education aid and supported gun rights and school prayer. His district (the same one now represented by House Speaker John Boehner) had a small African-American population. So he had little to gain politically by supporting the Civil Rights Act.
Yet he became a critical leader in getting the bill passed.

LMAO! How naive! Ask your racist TeaBaggers if he's black!!! You may consider Obama half white but in the South that we are discussing it's the "one drop rule". See below:
Quoted Text
To be considered black in the United States not even half of one's ancestry must be African black. But will one-fourth do, or one-eighth, or less? The nation's answer to the question 'Who is black?" has long been that a black is any person with any known African black ancestry. This definition reflects the long experience with slavery and later with Jim Crow segregation. In the South it became known as the "one-drop rule,'' meaning that a single drop of "black blood" makes a person a black. It is also known as the "one black ancestor rule," some courts have called it the "traceable amount rule," and anthropologists call it the "hypo-descent rule," meaning that racially mixed persons are assigned the status of the subordinate group. This definition emerged from the American South to become the nation's definition, generally accepted by whites and black

Why ask the Teabaggers? YOU said he was black. Are you a Teabagger? Are you from the south? Are you a dixicrat? Don't run from your own words. You said democrats elected "the first black president". I guess you are hanging on to a little of that southern racist inside you. LOL

Democrats elected KKK Byrd as their senate leader on the 80's. Why do you keep on going back to the 60's and Dixiecrats? You said the Dixiecrats converted to Republicans. Who voted for Byrd in the 80's if the Dixiecrats were out of the Democrat party?

Democrats often voted in the senior member as did the Republicans. Byrd was like a million years old so he didn't have much opposition. Sorry if history doesn't agree with your opinion Cicero... I wish that the Dems would have ousted the racists... just as today, I wish that the Republicans would shed the racist from their party.

Which republican in a leadership position in recent history was a bonified clansman?
Democrats electing a clansman to the highest position in the Senate(3rd in line for president) isn't my OPINION, it's historical undisputed fact.
Not only did the Democrats not oust Byrd, Bill Clinton gave the eulogy at his funeral. LOL

So... Cicero... Bubby... do you think that there are any KKK in the GOP today???
As I posted earlier, the Racist Conservative Democrats left the Dem party to join the Republicans... and even run for president. In 1989 KLANSMAN David Duke became a member of the Republican Louisiana State Legislature from the 81st district, and was Republican Party chairman in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. A former Democrat, Duke joined his fellow racists in the GOP.

Did David Duke become Senate Majority Leader? CLANSMAN Robert Byrd did. Robert Byrd was chosen by his fellow democrats in the Senate to become the 3rd in line for President. Byrd wasn't a Dixiecrat. He was a lifetime Democrat, adored by the Democrat caucus.
Democrats Destroy GOP In Fund-raising By A Landslide In Wake Of Hobby Lobby Ruling And Republican Overreach
Quoted Text
As the 2014 midterm election in November approaches, Republicans are getting absolutely hammered in fund-raising by Democrats. The hammer began to drop approximately three weeks ago. Towards the end of June, House Speaker John Boehner announced that House Republicans are going to sue President Obama. Since then, we’ve learned that the suit will be over Obama granting a one year delay of the Obamacare employer mandate to small businesses. Just a few days later, five conservative male Supreme Court Justices ruled that women can be denied contraception coverage by their religious employers. Shortly after that ridiculously sexist decision, Sarah Palin called on House Republicans to impeach President Obama.
In a span of a couple weeks, Republicans gave Democrats three major gifts of stupidity that they are now paying for dearly. Since Boehner first announced plans to sue the President, donations to Democrats have soared. So far, $3 million has been raked in. This money isn’t from a single rich donor either, it’s from the pockets of ordinary Americans who really want to see Republicans get their asses handed to them on Election Day.

Remember that bit in the Bible where Jesus refused to heal the leper because he didn’t have health insurance? No, me neither. Yet, according to a new YouGov poll, Republican Jesus would have done just that.
Quoted Text
The poll, conducted July 1-2, covered 1,000 U.S. adults using a sample selected from YouGov’s opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population. On a wide range of political issues, from healthcare to gun control, from raising taxes on the rich to climate change, respondents were asked what Jesus wold support or oppose. Funnily enough – Jesus mostly agreed with their own views, never mind the Bible.
While the majority of Democrats saw Jesus as a figure of acceptance, charity and compassion. Republicans appeared to conflate Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged with the Bible.
82% of Democrats and 52% of independents said Jesus would support universal healthcare.
Yet, just 23% of Republicans believe Jesus would support healthcare for all.
