That commentators around the country have spent more than a week debating whether Trent Lott is racist or just inept is a measure of the damage his comments have done.

No, little Stevie Hayes, you nitwit! It's a measure of the damage done when political opportunists, angry over having had their clocks cleaned in the last election (especially compared to the 50 seat House gain some were talking about not too long ago), resort to propoganda to further their political ends by deliberately characterizing innocuous comments as racist. That so many here at FreeRepublic have spent more than a week mindlessly echoing the propoganda in one form or another is a measure of how eroded the ability to observe and think has become in the United States and why such propoganda has become so effective.

On FoxNews they have interviewed folks to reveal balance and Lott's true character. MSNBC and CNN have interviewed folks to tell how bad they think Lott's words were.

The NAACP has once again shown their true colors. So have the Democrats. The media has worked it's charms. The print media regurgitates articles just like this one. Look at what they have done here.

Even the title trashes Lott. He's a sorry Majority Leader. The implications go beyond his recent comments. They are targeted to do as much damage to him as possible, above and beyond the seemingly endless slanderous non-truths regarding his specific comments.

This article is more of a damning revelation regarding the media and it's tactics, than plowing new ground with regard to Lott. May the media be recognized for the divisive manipulating bastard press that it is.

This nation is in desparate need of people who can clearly recognize facts and report truth. For the most part, our media has revealed itself to be incapable of neither of these duties.

The leftists in this nation have demanded Lott resign for his supposed bias. I would like to offer up the suggestion that those who are truly guility of bias be the ones to resign.

Here's a news flash of my own for our nation's media. We could use more accurate information and less editorials on more relevant topics. Just report the facts you idiots, we can assess the implications for ourselves.

Now, appologize and step down.

...by deliberately characterizing innocuous comments as racist.

Not so. Lott said something that was racist and indeed very stupid. Worse is that he did not stumble over one word or two, but spoke clearly and in full sentence what a nonracist would never have even THOUGHT. This isn't about PC or the Democrats; Lott did this to us himself.

Sorry, but I can't get outraged when the people making the claims are dressed like this...

And do this...

THE BLACK LANDMARK THE CLINTON LIBRARY RAZED

How many times do they have to play the race card before all of you wake-up? It's NOT about Lott it's about STEALING what they couldn't win in an election!

I suppose I am so use to the Clinton type politics and the media ignoring them that I refuse to get outraged over their hypocritical views.
