The inescapable fact is not that Lott is a racist, it's that on the very face his breathtakingly ill-considered remarks, the plainest sense was that he was paying homage to Strom Thrumond's segregationist campaign of 1948.

Actually, he wasn't. He was paying homage to Strom Thurmond. If he had said "and I think your segregation platform was just dandy," then you'd have a point.

But, you read into Lott's statement what you wanted to read into it.

"But, you read into Lott's statement what you wanted to read into it."

You take the wiggle room (not much, if any) to go down with the Vacant Lott and many others don't nor won't.
