Sean, Rush, and other visible conservatives are standing up to the left media not because its Trent Lott. No, they are standing up against the radical left wing media because this is just the first salvo to be fired in the leftist agenda's and the media's "witch hunt" to take back Congress for the Liberals.
If nobody stands up now, all of the steps taken in the past 2 years to rid our government of "poltical correctness" will have been erased and "PC" will be firmly entrenched in our lives.

It's not about political correctness. Thurmond wanted to keep the right to lynch blacks. Opposing that has nothing to do with political correctness.
In today's world, political correctness is a huge problem. The kind of hatred that the left accuses the right of today was actually true back in 1948. It's not political correctness that causes people to be offended by a powerful politician intimating that we would have been better off had we not abolished the kind of bigotry that existed back then.

"This is just the first salvo to be fired in the leftwing media's witch hunt."
To be sure. Not even the first. Problem is, Lott loaded the gun and handed it to them.
This is not about an old man's birthday, or a 57-year-old splinter campaign. This about a statement in 2002, by a Republican leader, which endorses a segregationist platform. Plain and simple.
Don't even try to tell me that Lott didn't know what the Dixiecrats were about. Or that he 'forgot." Those excuses are so lame they make me puke.
If Lott doesn't remove himself from the bulls-eye, he will destroy everything we've accomplished in the last two years to give the President a Republican Senate that can function.
PC my a**. The man's a deadly liability as ML. Witch hunts fall under their own weight, as long as there ultimately are no witches. Lott is a "witch" alive and in the flesh.
