Nah.  Thurmond was many things, but hateful wasn't one of them.  He was a social conservative who saw the existing institutions as necessary for stability and not someone who was vile and hateful towards non-whites.  Were it not for the Dixiecrat campaign of 1948 leading to his isolation from the Democratic power structure nationally, he may well have ended up like Hollings politically.

Yeah, he was wrong, but making all people you disagree with into villains makes it tough to spot the real villains.  He was no Tillman or Bilbo.

If the rest of the country had followed the South's lead and voted for Strom in 1948 you wouldn't have had all these problems over the years.

Told the BBC in 1984 that he had opposed the Berlin airlift and would have bombed Germany instead. Obvious HP.
