Trent Lott was merely perceived to infer something only a psychic might know -- that he is DEFINITELY a "racist." For that the sky is falling??

The word you're looking for is "imply".

Perception is everything. The particular perception in question, which is not that Lott in particular but that the Republican Party in general is racist, if allowed to stand, will kill the GOP as an electorally viable party. Which means the United States becomes a one-party country, a disaster in itself, a far worse one because of the one party in question.

Sit down, brew a cup of chamomille and ignore the race-baiting goblins, the paranoid within GOP circles, the media, and marxist Democrats -- savor the GOP majority in the House, Senate and Presidency. The true big picture? The Republic IS saved...

Ah yes. Two years of nominal control, unable to actually do anything domestically because Lott's given the Black Caucus everything they want (and STILL looks like a bigot), followed by the decent into a thousand years or more of tyranny. The true big picture is the two years.

Let me make one point clearer: the Republic-ending catastrophy we're facing isn't a Democratic win. It's the loss of the Republican Party as a viable party.

This incident is NOT the GOP's Hiroshima as you've imagined.

IF this blatant lie is allowed to "stand," the entire Republic and what it presumes to represent is nothing but a sham, and it's citizens not worthy of liberty. Period. Of ye of little faith...

Again, with all due respect, IMO your assessment falls short.

As for your charge that Lott is seen conceding to the Black Caucus, I'm sure Dubya will step in and suggest a "slight" change in venue...
