What Party was he a member of when he said that? ;)

A 3rd party called The States' Rights Democratic Party.

So he wasn't a Republican then, correct?

Also, Thurmond won the Democratic primary for the US Senate in 1956.

Nope, but Trent Lott was when he said "I want to say this about my state [Mississippi]. When Strom Thurmond ran for President, we voted for him. We're proud of it, and if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years."

David Duke turned republican, so i don't know see how the "only party with an ex-KKK member" is accurate.

Duke was never given a dime by the Republicans, nor did any Republicans go down to Louisiana to campaign for him. We did not reward him with a leadership position either. The same cannot be said for Exalted Cyclops Byrd.

While I do not agree with that statement, I do ask that you post the context of that quote.

You left out the "in the Senate" part. If you are gonna quote me, please use the entire sentence.

Pray tell, when did he repent?

bahahahaha, you think I'm a liberal?
Not by a longshot.

Put away that label maker.
You will not get agreeableness from anyone so long as you seek to divide em up.

That is the fundamental error of your approach. You consistently fail to get an aggregate because all you can do is aggravate. lol

and of course say monumentally silly things in support of your diatribes.

well seeing as how the "in the senate" part came after the "only dirtbag who murdered a woman" part, you can understand my confusion.

the kkk was born in the wake of the civil war, to be the militant arm of conservative, southern democrats.
last time i watched glenn beck, it wasn't the conservatives he had the problem with. ;)

Later than 1948. My point was he didn't repent when he was campaigning for higher office. I believe I've said this 3 times now...

Not sure I would use the term 'conservative', but other than that you are correct.

Has Mr Beck said he has problems with blacks? Or does he have problems with liberals, Democrats, socialists, etc regarless of race?
