Gee, the only thing I see missing here is a full-tilt, Wellstone "funeral" victory rally in Washington, complete with ticker-tape parade and balloon drop and Lott burned in effigy, but at the rate they're going, Democrats may just go for it.

New system? Yay!
Now, tiptoe carefully around the site while the hand grenades are being thrown! LOL!
Next time your not on-line without an announcement, give me a call. We missed you.
(Didn't we do a notification program a few years ago? E-mail addresses and phone numbers? I thought you had a list).

Great article thanks. I love this part:
Sen. Lott, more than just a run-of-the-mill KKKer, was an active recruiter, charging $10 per sign up, according to Graham Smith, author of When Jim Crow Met John Bull, who unearthed the letter. Lott also wrote the following: "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here" as well as "in every state in the Union."In light of all this, Sen. Lott, I believe, should do the right thing and step down as Senate Majority Leader. To do otherwise would send exactly the wrong message that Republicans tolerate throw-back, knuckle-dragging racists a la Lott in the ranks.
Folks, that KKK stuff wasn't Sen. Lott's biographical background at all -- it was Sen. Robert Byrd's! Byrd, not Lott, was the Klansman. Sheesh! Should have been more careful...silly me.
It never ceases to amaze me the double standard and hypocrisy of the media, the Democrats and sad to say some conservatives who are jumping on this much ado about nothing race-baiting statement.
Well, at any rate, on this 'Mr. Lott, When-Exactly-Did-You-Stop-Lynching-Blacks?' news conference Friday, I offer my two cents:
Great piece JohnHuang2. It made me think of this David Horowitz piece.
***…….There is a superficial sense, of course, in which we were civil rights and peace activists-and that is certainly the way I would have described myself at the time, particularly if I were speaking to a non-left audience. It is certainly the way Mrs. Clinton and my former comrades in the left refer to themselves and their pasts in similar contexts today. But they are lying. (And when they defend racial preferences now-a principle they denounced as "racist" then-even they must know it).
The first truth about leftist missionaries, about believing progressives, is that they are liars. But they are not liars in the ordinary way, which is to say by choice. They are liars by necessity-often without even realizing that they are. Because they also lie to themselves. It is the political lie that gives their cause its life.
Why, for example, if you were one of them, would you tell the truth? If you were serious about your role in humanity's vanguard, if you had the knowledge (which others did not), that you were certain would lead them to a better world, why would you tell them a truth that they could not "understand" and that would hold them back?*** Excerpted from Hillary Clinton and the Racial Left - David Horowitz

WOW! This is GREAT!
Boy, you came back to FR with a vengeance! I've really missed you and your $.02! Good to see ya'! ;o)
