why isn't THURMOND HIMSELF being raked over the coals...???

1. Because he's retiring.

2. Because he didn't make the idiotic statement, and, most important,

3. BECAUSE HE'S NOT THE MAJORITY LEADER OF THE SENATE!

Don't forget #4:

Strom has long since repudiated his beliefs of 1948.

What about KKK Byrd? He is called the "conscience of the senate" for crying out loud!!! What a damn joke!

Another question is why hasn't the entire State of North Carolina apologized for elected Thurmond? Why hasn't Lizzie Dole stepped down after praising Thurmond?

The whole issue is a non-issue. An issue entirely driven by the liberal media. Snore.
