Posted on 12/17/2002 12:45:03 PM PST by ewing

'He has to go,' Spike Lee said, [on ABC Television's Good Morning America program] and called Senator Trent Lott 'a card carrying member of the Klan..I know he has that hood in the closet somewhere..the hood and the robe.'

Film Director Lee said that the African Americans in the Bush Administration, such as Secretary of State Colin Powell and NSA Advisor Condoleeza Rice, should take a stand against Lott.

'Bush, Powell, Miss Rice, lets go,' he said.

'You know, prominient African Americans in the Bush Administration, what's this, mum's the word?

Bush got you in check, you can't speak out?

Going to let some guy say something like that and youre not going to say a word?'

Note that this is the same Spike Lee who said that he disapproves of interracial dating and that when he sees an interracial couple he sends them "visual daggers" to let them know that he disapproves.

It is sad that this 'goofball' is allowed to be aired on national television to incite hate in this country. Mr Lott ought to challenge this guys words in court....

Spike Lee is a blatent racist, Archie Bunker's got nothing on him.

Lott needs to go cause he's too liberal.

Yes, let's take Spike Lee's direction! As if he would ever evn consider the Republican side of any issue. But the hypocrisy is stunning: Robert Byrd WAS actually a Klansman but I see no mention of him. Only Lott and his stupid remarks at an old man's birthday party draw Spike's ire.

Well, he hasn't produced a good film since DO THE RIGHT THING.... although some may disagree with that.

Spike Lee's comments are 10x more racist than Lott's. He's such a has-been that he'll say or do anything to get his name in the press. He exudes hate.

The Republicans could conduct a full and proper auto-da-fe, tie Lott to a stake and burn him live on B.E.T., then sweep up his ashes and divide them into equal portions to be flushed down the urinals in every Martin Luther King Center in the United States (there are 4,760 of 'em), and that still would not be enough to satisfy Spike Lee.

So who gives a rat's clymer what he thinks?
