I would hope that we could agree that nobody's perfect (at least, not in the last 2,000 years, IMHO). Lincoln used the same wrong word as Byrd and probably most other presidents - who cares which party they represented?
Frankly, there are a LOT of words used in this forum which offend me and others. There are viewpoints that offend me. But in the long run, this is a good forum, with some good ideas. IMHO, the phrase RIP is simply a way to end a thought about somebody's death.
Sen. Byrd was a product of his times and upbringing; he tried (and may have) succeeded in changing his attitudes with the times. He did a lot of good for the people he represented. That is all.
