I am NO fan of Trent Lott but, this is IGNORANCE on the part of the media to keep pounding away at the man for a SIMPLE mistake. I hate the double standard!!!

They never forced Byrd to defend himself in a press conference.

Most of the "news" media didn't even run the tape when Byrd made his "mistake".

They are trying to say that since Trent Lott has a "history" of doing this that he should resign and that KKK Byrd only made a mistake. Well, EXCUSE ME! But he was in the KKK for goodness sakes!!! I would call that some kind of a past of being a racist.
