[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.

It is hypocritical because Lott's critics get to decide what his words mean.Sorry, there is little doubt what his words meant. Lott uttered them, and you don't have to parse 1948 to figure out the significance. The question is, did Lott understand what his words meant? If he did, he's a bigot. If he didn't, he's an idiot. Personally, I lean towards the theory that he's an idiot, because there far more anecdotal evidence in that direction. But he has somehow managed to lurch through this affair throwing supporters off his wagon at every turn, until only a few are left hanging on to the slimmest of rationalizations...

I can't find anything that Clinton said about Lott. I note you have posted 88 times on Lott today, so you can't be really glued to the TV.

I'll say it again and again. Until all America knows that he is a rapist, he will continue shooting off his mouth and his evil wife will be a viable candidate for the presidency.
When all America knows that we have been telling the truth all along, the serial sexual predator will have lost most, but not all, of his audience.

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. It's a leftist position that the Republicans have now taken against one of their own.
I've seen countless posts on numerous threads from so-called "conservatives" because they believe that Lott is not a conservative. Hogwash! He is far more conservative than Bush and yet, because a small of number of people reacted to his words, now even the Republicans have jumped on the same bandwagon as the leftists in calling for his resignation.
