[history]
Interview just aired live on CNN, CLinton says that the GOP has worked to supress black voters in Florida and therefore conservatives taking after Lott did not ring true.
And he was smiling, like Rush said Jesse Jackson was when he made similar comments faking outrage.

I guess it doesn't matter to Sink that all the Black voter "supression" occured in the Democrat controlled districts.

There has to be some crime he and his wife can be brought up on. They must think it's safe to come out of the hiding again.

Clinton, who supported former KKK member Byrd...
Lott and Clinton actually have alot in common, they both seem able to change position on a dime, like a chameleon changes color. But Lott doesn't smile quite as effectively while he lies through his teeth.

BUBBA said that The GOP in the south represents racism..and that 's why the GOP wins in the south these days.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Regardless of what the pubbies do, we are going to get bashed by Clinton, the Dems and the liberal media. Given that, we should do the right thing for the country and the party. Get rid of Lott, appoint someone that won't get out-foxxed by Tommy D and start cutting taxes. The problem with Lott and what he has done is he has opened up the door to every democrat questioning every republican on race. What many spineless republicans will do in response is exactly what Lott did, cave to the CBC. Reparations for Everyone, Whites need not apply!!

It is hypocritical, but not for Clintie's reason. It is hypocritical because
Lott's critics get to decide what his words mean. That is a leftist position.
When Lott stuck his foot in his mouth, his critics got to decide what he meant.
When he apologized 5 times, his critics got to decide if he meant it.
It is the same ignorant twisted logic that gave us hate crimes; the courts get to decide exactly what you were thinking or what you meant.

Good point(s). Has anyone ever heard of anyone being arrested for keeping minorities away from the polls? Has there ever been a lawsuit? What BS.

A different subject, but did anyone notice that nose!!! I was looking for signs of a sore on his lip that other Freepers were commenting on last week. Couldn't detect any sores on his lip, but couldn't get by that hugh purple nose.

I wish Republicans would develop a few talking points and distribute them to those who appear on the talk shows.
When Rick Santorum was confronted by one of the black leaders about the Lott mess being the Republicans' Monica Lewinsky, he offered no response. I wished he had said, "I voted for impeachment because of the lying under oath and this had nothing to do with Mr. Clinton's adulterous behavior." A great comeback.
Also, when asked about Republicans and race relations, our "spokespersons" should only respond with, "Well it was the Democrats who ran on segregation, and many of those Democrats did later become Republicans only after they repudiated the old Democratic line about segregation." Republicans should "own" this race issue, but are too damned timid about using it and sticking it to the Dems whenever possible.

Did you see what Clinton's nose looked like?
His face seems to be growing luggage. His nose is definately larger and more droopy- like what you would wxpect on an alcoholic.
It seems to me his nose has grown too large to even be a carry on bag.

The words racist, bigot, and hatemonger, coming from embittered followers of demagogues, mean nothing.
