One of the founding fathers of H.I.P., Strom Thurmond - dead at 100..

[UncleButternutts]

(CNN) -- Former Republican Sen. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, the longest-serving member of the upper house of Congress, died Thursday night. He was 100.

He may have been a racist redneck in his past, but, he did appreciate the hotties..

I think that recent ruling in Texas must have did him in.

Halifax
LOLOL Very true.

It's a sad day for those all the Neo-Nazi NRA members ... a sad, sad day.

Oh well, another crooked biggot bites the dust ... life goes on - we have a few hundred in DC ready to take his place

 

[Banned4Life]

it's about time

Sorry to say, but he will not be missed by most.
I think Halifax is correct oncerning what did him in.

I can't believe this bastard lived to be 100 years old. And he didn't EVEN retire until January 2003.
Goes to show you how S-L-O-W changes happen in Washington and the fact that if you vote Democrat or Republican doesn't f**king matter.As behind Closed Doors they are all buddies.

Move over Strom...let some of the young guys (70yr olds) influence the Senate. L-O-F-ing L

Lander - Please keep in mind that NOT all NRA members are Neo-Nazis.

And the ones that ARE Neo-Nazis can go SHOOT each other as they are cowards first.

 

[lander]

I suppose IB, but I think Strum was ...

100 years old & he still couldn't figure out how to be a decent human being.

Another biggot bites the dust...and another one down and another one down, another biggot bites the dust...

I agree...in a way he was evil until his last breath.
I think he tried to use his Voice (anger/hate) toward other races in the U.S. as a way to keep Bigotry and the KKK followers alive and active...which did nothing but keep us back in the racial 30's

 

[Stephen]

I was always curious how the old geezer, bigot could keep getting re-elected. Are some people in South Carolina brain dead?

Go2Guy -

Bushie will probably give him some kind of an "American Hero" Medal.

Stephen,
Erase the word "some" & you'll have hit the nail on the head

 

[Stephen]

I was trying to be diplomatic.
