It's all about timing. Strom's comments were made when the attitudes about race relations were much different than now. He obviously changed. There's a difference in saying something about someone's actions/comments before that person dies or afterwards, especially with the obvious rancor in tone which totally disregards all the good Mr. Thurmond did.
It's funny to see who is forgiven for attitudes/comments/actions and who is not.
