View Full Version : End of an Era: Strom Thurmond dies at 100
Strom Thurmond, Senior Senator, Dead at 100 (NPR) (http://www.npr.org/display_pages/features/feature_1312280.html)
Strom Thurmond's Life At-a-Glance (SF Chronicle) (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/06/26/national2246EDT0892.DTL) I want to tell you that there's not enough troops in the Army to force the Southern people to break down segregation and admit the Negro race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes and into our churches. (Strom Thurmond) I can't find the lyrics to offer you, but I'm smoking one and listening to the Capitol Steps sing "Keep Strom Alive" (to the Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive").
I hope he found his peace.
Edit: I found this mp3 link for "Keep Strom Alive" (http://politicalhumor.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.capsteps.com%2Fs ounds%2Fstrom.mp3)

If any justice exist in the after life, then he's shoveling shit for Satan (Who happens to be Jewish, Gay, and black).
Im not saying that black people are the devil. Nor am I saying that Jews are the devil. However, gays are the devil and need to die. Peace.;)
Then it's true what the say about Hell having all the best choreographers.

Well, they are helped : they dance on fire! :D

Thurmond last words, "Sodomy will be legalized over my dead body!" Sodomy is constitutional, and Strom Thurmond dies. Reminds me of the time when SCOTUS ruled that flag burning was Constitutional, and Ronnie Reagan promptly fell off his horse and hit his head.
Rest in peace, you gassy old bigot.
:m: Peace.
SuperFudd 06-27-03, 11:20 AM Clearly you don't understand the man. If he had died at seventy, you would be right but he didn't. He went through major changes of thought in his last thirty years. I suspect he has a chance of getting into heaven.
EI_Sparks 06-27-03, 11:27 AM Why yes goofy, don't you remember his walking at the head of the parade in support of gay rights? And that awe-inspiring speech of his in opposition to the 2002 election debacle? Or the one about how killing innocent Afghans and Iraqis wouldn't be the way to avenge the victims of 9/11?
:rolleyes:

I wonder if they buried the old old bass terd in his grand dragon hand woven Chinese silk sheet or his Korean hand embroidered Papasan black KKK Viet Cong pajamas and was a burning cross placed next to his burial site for the light effect? :o
Oh well, the political Cameleon is dead - long live the cameleon!
Note: Let's hope Jessie Helms can be buried piggy back with the ole Kentucky colonel
Abdulla....

Yeah, what with heaven having low standards an all.

Wasn't he running for re-election though? He would have to present a new "look" just to get new voters.
