Sorry, Julie. Lott did praise Thurmond's segregationist campaign. By saying the country would have been better off electing a segregationist in 1948, he's doing just that. He meant those words in 1980, he meant them last Saturday, and he meant them the times he said it behind closed doors (which in your heart you know he's done). He was pro-segregation as a 22-year-old and then went to work for a white supremacist congressman in MS. Trent Lott is a bigot. You'll feel better once you admit it.

Why couldn't he have been a loyal Republican and said he supported Dewey in '48?

Not really. He could have been praising his ability to fight government spending, or his ability to work with the left, or his vision of better schools. Who said he was praising his segragation? Who says that's what thought was in his head? Who? The left. Can they still read minds like in the 200 election? Unless they're diving thoughts again, maybe Lott ment his love for friggin flowers!
Did Lott say "I praise him for his stand on segragation?" No, he didn't. He may not have even been thinking about that! Prove he was!
This is left wing race bating. Nothing more. More dividing the people for votes, and attemptiong to use their politics of personal destruction and political blackmail.
Lott is innocent until proven guilty. Unless America can read his mind and divine his intent, I say get over it. Rent a good movie or something.

And your proof that he was referring to the segregationist plank specifically is what exactly?

Please show me the quote where Lott said those words: "electing a segregationist'. I really believe that he mis-spoke & was trying to praise a 100 year old....he goofed...big time....but I don't think he said those words.

BTW was Byrd a bigot when he belonged to the KKK? To me that is far worse than anything Lott has ever said.

The media is working with the DNC to try to destroy the GOP's chances with the Black community.

Lott should resign the leadership only if Byrd is also censored for his membership in the KKK! Clinton did far worse than Lott.....lied under oath & broke his Oath of Office.....he never resigned & neither should Lott!
