who he said don't know what is in the legislation but want to kill it nonetheless.

I've, in a cursory way, gone over every page of the amnesty for invaders bill. I wonder if Lott, or any other Senator, can say as much.

[Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), one of the immigration bill’s chief architects, suggested on Sunday that opponents of the deal border on being racist.

“We’ve been down this road before — ‘no Catholics,’ ‘no Jews,’ ‘Irish need not apply,’ “ Graham said on ABC’s “This Week.”]

This little wimp is really starting to get on my nerves. C’mon people of South Carolina - you deserve better than this!

[The View From The Right]

This immigration bill will prove to be an albatross around the neck of whomever is the GOP nominee. In an attempt to be more like the Democrats and attract the loyalty of the illegal invaders, the GOP will end up losing their base, not gaining any Democrat crossover votes and finding themselves not only losing Congressional seats but the White House as well.

And we all know what a Democrat victory in 2008 brings. It’s quite disheartening to see the mainstream GOP so totally ignore the voice of their base and support this turkey of a bill.

It was a casual shot across the bow, a shrugged comment last week from Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.): Advocates of an immigration overhaul would have to "deal" with talk-radio hosts who he said don't know what is in the legislation but want to kill it nonetheless.

I keep hearing from Congresscritters that no one knows whats in such and such bill and no one understands this or that bill.

Why not propose legislation in plain English so that they could understand what they are voting on? Is that really too much to ask?

"Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem."

I maintain that Lott did NOT say, "Talk radio is running America."; I believe he said, "Talk radio is ruining America." His dialect made the word "ruining" sound like "running".

[Pontiac]

To The Washington Post, Lott had said, "I'm sure senators on both sides of the aisle are being pounded by these talk-radio people who don't even know what's in the bill." To the New York Times, he had offered: "Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem."

Sounds to me like Lott wants to take the same approach to Talk Radio that Mc Stain took to non-candidate political advertising during election campaigns.

Perhaps it is time Lott faced forced retirement.

[Pontiac]

"Talk radio was sort of the watchdog on this," said Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.). "Who else was watching out? Who else was reading the bill?"

That’s Lott’s and Graham’s problem with Talk Radio they like it better when they can legislate with no one watching.

Advocates of an immigration overhaul would have to "deal" with talk-radio hosts who he said don't know what is in the legislation but want to kill it nonetheless.

That gave me concern but when I heard him say we were not going to intimidate a United States Senator, it really made me mad! He's got to go.

A lot of stupid and nasty comments on there about people like us.

-—But the conservative response to Lott may be symptomatic of a broader disenchantment with the Republican Party-—

Hello! Hello! Is anyone there?

[Just Lori]

The return fire to that passing comment has been withering, as some of the nation's most prominent conservative talkers turn on a man they once defended adamantly.

There was a reason to defend Lott then. He was just saying something to bring a smile to the old guy on his 100th birthday. Remember the uproar? Remember how many times he apologized? Over and over and over again? Yes, he was defended by many (not just talk radio) over that, yet the dems still demanded his head on a platter and they GOT IT.

Now, it seems he's not the man we believed he was. Funny how that seems to be happening a great deal lately... His suckup to Feinstein today was pretty disgusting. Mr. Lott, when you kiss the a$$es of those who did their best to crucify you, and at the same time bash those who defended you, many of us are wondering....

What is your soul worth? Is it the highest bidder who decides?

[Tzimisce]

Wow - I haven’t seen the media this happy since ....well, ever...

[CyberAnt]

And .. the picture I get from these comments is that the WP is dancing in the ailes at their offices .. reveling in the pre-determined demise of the GOP.

The liberals always count their chickens before they hatch.

It's not for nothing that every street named after Trent Lott is One Way.

[Herakles]

As far as I’m concerned, the Republican party has just gone to warp 9 and hit a brick wall; they have all turned into democrats.

What this immigration amnesty bill has come down to, is two major political parties refusing to enforce the laws of the United States so they can pass a law that benefits both the parties but not the country of it’s citizens. THIS IS TREASON!

[goldstategop]

I'm a conservative before I'm a Republican. My support of the Republican Party is not unconditional. If it turns its back on us, we won't be there when it needs us. That is, if the GOP elite are listening to conservatives.

[struggle]

97.3 here in Jackson is giving Lott hell and Lott hates it. I think that is why he made that anti-talk radio remark.

SHUT THE HELL UP LOTT, AND WORK FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS!

(And not the chicken farms that hire illegal aliens in Mississippi)

[I still care]

Feinstein said on FoxNews sunday that she wants to reinstitute the fairness doctrine.

[Joe Boucher]

“a man they once defended adamantly.”
As per usual the Washington Post is full of crap.
Talk radios support of Lott has been tepid at best.
Lott has been a weenie forever on conservative issues.
Like so many he puts his finger in the air and tests the way the wind blows before voting, having no true beliefs nor principles other then trying to make sure he gets re-elected.
He is an effeminate cheerleader.
