What are your thoughts on this Trent Lott thing?

I find it amusing how the media refuses to report that both Lott and Thurmond were DEMOCRATS when they supported segregation. And yet, somehow this issue has painted Republicans as 'racist'...go figure. Revisionist, media-influenced history strikes again.

I'm disgusted by the whole ordeal. Lott is being raked over the coals for an ambiguous statement, yet Byrd got a free pass for his nationally broadcast "White N--ger" comments. Jackson gets a pass for "hymietown". Hillary got a pass for "F---ing Jew B---ard".

The double-standard is sickening.

I agree with you. BTW, I had completely forgotten about Hillary's FJB comment.

That's my thought too. I've wanted Lott gone since he squished on Impeachment, but this is just a partisan witch hunt.
