You could also say I'm fighting on the side of Robert George, David Frum, David Brooks, Bill Kristol, Peggy Noonan, Armstrong Williams, James Taranto, and the editorial boards of the NY Post, National Review, and the Wall Street Journal.
To name just the ones off the top of my head.
As for Waters and Lee? Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I refuse to accept the notion that Lott did not know what he was saying; did not know that the Dixiecrat ticket was about segregation and Jim Crow first last and foremost (as opposed to fighting communism or a strong national defense - give me a break!).
The more I learn about Lott - and not just his distant past, but his present day and recent past as well - the harder it is to accept the notion that Lott, at best, has a serious moral blind spot when it comes to race relations (to say nothing of horrible political judgment); at worst, he harbors what can only be described as racist leanings.
Men can grow. I have no reason to think that Lott can't. But he'll have to do it somewhere other than the majority leader's office.
Sorry, Sink. Your loyalty is admirable but quite misplaced.
He doesn't deserve it.
So Lott was saying, "I'm a racist and proud of it."? Is that what you're trying to imply?
Nice try, but no cigar.
