Political overkill for a thought crime is not the way to go. All of you who feel morally superior to Sen Lott should ask yourself: Have you ever said something terribly wrong? Have you ever had racist thoughts? Have you ever said anything racist? Oh, by the way how do you define racist? Is it a permanent condition or one dependent on time and circumstances?

Firing Trent Lott will not solve one problem, not garner any more votes from the African-Americans nor make you feel really great about yourself more than a few moments.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. And, by the way, wrong. And wrong.

Breathtaking. I have never seen so much wrong in such a short sentence.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt before yesterday...then he went and sold us all out. Im more than peeved at Lott. Sin or no sin, I cant accept him as the Republican leader of the Senate

Terminal Stupidity is not a thought crime, it's a long-term, incurable disease from which there is no escape but political death. In this case, demotion from a leadership position is the definition of "political death."

I don't know if Lott is racist or not; I can't read his mind. But it is now evident to everyone but the dead that he is Terminally Stupid.

Firing Chester will make lemonade out of lemons; I'm not in favor of pandering to any particular group of people to win their votes, whomever they may be; and yes, at the risk of sounding like an MMPI case study, the firing of Chester Lott will just fill me with warm fuzzies and tingly sensations for years and years to come.
