Where did Lott mention segregation?

He was suggesting that a Dixiecrat President Thurmond would have protected us from "all these problems over all these years."

Yeah, a segregationist President is exactly what we needed then. </sarcasm>

I'm trying to recall,were many great strides against segregation made during the term of the winner of that election,1949-early 1953?

I think the issue is Lott pure and simple. He is not willing to fight/work for a core set of values. He wants to play things safe. He can't articulate values which he knows the press doesn't support. His feet are made of clay. He is the reason Clinton got away. He allowed Clinton to paint right wrong and wrong right. Goodbye Trent!

So you inferred he was talking about segregation.
