So you inferred he was talking about segregation.

This isn't a logic test we talking about here, its politics. When Bubba said it depends upon what the meaning of the word "is" is. He had a point because he was saying "There is no relation with that woman." He was being slick because there "was" a relationship but now there "is" not a relationship. Logically, he had a point, but it bit him on the ass. Unlike a lot of people here, I like Lott, but this was an impolitic thing to say and furthermore, I wonder myself what the hell he meant by it.

So you inferred he was talking about segregation.

I don't think Lott was promoting segregation, he was just too stupid to realize the implications of wishing for a Thurmond win. There is no doubt that Thurmond's run for the presidency was in response to Truman's integration of the military in July 1948 and because of his and Hubert Humphrey's support for Civil Rights laws. A Thurmond administration would have fought to the death against any kind of legislation that weakened segregation.

Lott is a big wussbag idiot who isn't up to the task of leading a cakewalk. Everyone in America wants to see this slob put out to pasture, yet he's still there wasting space.

That said, this is funny to watch. He steps on his dick and dares to say something politically incorrect and even our side jumps on him. After all the crap he's pulled, some people are ready to chop his head off for this silly "thought crime".

Government mandated segregation is and always has been unconstitutional and wrong, whether it was officially declared so or not. Just as government mandated de-segregation is unconstitutional and wrong, it just is.

Doesn't matter though, we're not allowed to talk about that stuff anymore. Any discussion of whether a business in a free country should be declared a "public accomodation" is racist now.

Lott comes within three degrees of this topic and everyone has a cow. If these insignificant remarks are considered the worst thing he's done we've really lost control of the conversation. PC brainwashing has worked.
