One thing about Sen. Byrd's recent passing is that most of the comments about his being a Klan member has been from right wing bloggers and the like, for instance: http://willtomlinson.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/robert-byrd-died/
I suspect that the wing nuts are the ones that do not think that someone can change.Or at least bring up something from the person's past to cut them down. That said, I think that most of what Senator Byrd did in office more than negates his brief Klan membership.
