Why deny the fact the Mississippi voted for Thurmond?

Mississippi's vote for Thrumond was a vote for racist segregation. Why say that one is proud of that vote?

At the top of the thread, I scripted an alternative means for Lott to ackowledge Thurmond's candidacy while simultaneously honoring his change of heart and extolling the best in America. Would you agree that if Lott had said something like that, there would now be no controversy?

Saber, Bush did act.He settled it.If and when Lott needs to be pushed, for not getting the Bush legislative agenda through, say by June, then fine and dandy.He's shown conclusively his worth to the WH.Until that happens, this is harping.It's over, unless you want to keep stirring the pot.

This thread would have been more appropriate 5 days ago, but not now.Sorry :-)

The controversy has been raised by the Democrats and everyone else willing to play their game. In 1948 Thurmond wasn't the only one for Segregation. I'm sure the Democrats would've found some fault in whatever Lott might've said. I'm just tired of the PC that goes along statements like these.
