Lott's comments didn't make me cringe because of the content...I cringed because he is so stiff he couldn't deliver a comical line. Which is what it was.

Dodd's comments were no different. To think a Grand Poohbah of the KKK (in his 40's, not his youth) would have been welcome during the Civil War isn't a joke.

Besides, I'm sick of this "Republican's are racist" lie. The Democratic Party is the party of racism and slavery and Jim Crow. The only reason the GOP exist was by splitting from the Whigs because they weren't abolitionist and promoted slavery just like the Democrats.

Talk about revisionist history by the media.

Another problem with Lott's statement, besides his being a kiss ass, is that there was a kernel of truth in it. That's what really gets people, when you say something bad that has even a hint of truth. PC says you are supposed to be for civil rights and for the civil war. Lott violated this directly, Dodd, violated this indirectly and remotely.
