Anti-Lott Democrats and Blacks reveal their own Bias

A lota Lott is too much Lott.

That’s it. For the good of common sense. For the good of the USA. For the good of the Congress. For the good of moving on with real politics. Cut the lota Lott!

Obviously, three main thrusts are at work in this on-going non-story:

Demos are mad as mad can be. Why? Because they lost considerably in recent elections and so they lunge to make much adieu about nothing. Kids do it in school all the time. It’s called "getting attention."

Some (not the logical, responsible ones) blacks have felt politically ignored (read "media starved" of late) and so jump to into the news light at the drop of a misstatement. Same faces; same organizations; same cliches.

Some people just can’t get hold of an apology when a sincere apology is made— and repeated and repeated and repeated. Therefore, these discontents gag the apology by hollering louder than ever on their own egocentric themes for their own biased push.

So that brings me to the real point here. Those anti-Lott are biased. Don’t the loser Demos and the ranting blacks realize that they are revealing their own illogical bias in continuing with their rant-and-rave, TV camera clutching harangue?

Bias is bias. Demos are biased toward their own party and against the Republican winners. Ranting blacks are biased toward their own mugshots on TV and against dead air in contented times.

So. . .let’s face this head-on in this lota Lott situation: bias—honest-to-God bias—is at work here—in our faces bias. And that doesn’t stand well for an America that’s supposed to have come a long way from bias.

And it surely doesn’t look decent for those—Demos and blacks—who claim to be unbiased when in fact bias is very near to the surface of their skin. How prone mortals are to their own hypocrisies. If there ever was a "now" social setting circumstance that underlines that truth it is this lota Lott stuff.

Now history-rememberin’ folk know that US Senate Republican leader Trent Lott was brought up poor in Mississippi, one of the segregationists along with scores of others, took political stands for segregation just as did too many others, and now is a commendable conservative who would not consider returning to his prior political waywardness. Such is in fact the like position of many upstanding political and religious leaders breathing at the moment. Shall we now turn them all in, even if they make sincere apologies for pasts they would rather forget?

That should settle it. At least for logical, non-biased persons.

But obviously, there are not enough urgent, strategic, at-home political challenges these days so that Congress flip-outs set their goals to concentrate on an item partisan rather than move on with moving the nation ahead.

Sad. Infantile. Ridiculous. Biased!

Of course, the media loves a fight. And so media are also responsible for all this lota ‘Lott. Naturally, they will continue to flame the non-fires as long as discontented blacks stand alongside loser Demos to spout off about a genuine apology already dittoed.

Therefore, it is fortunate that, better late than never, responsible Republicans are coming to the fore to safety net Lott. Lott allies hit the TV and radio trails on Sunday, scheduling more appearances till the job is complete—hopefully soon so that substantive politics can get to the top of the list.

After all, what more can a man say than a sincere apology? In a dictatorship, his head would roll. But in a democracy, a man’s word is supposed to count for something—particularly when he’s proven his political acumen.

"He said the right things," Bob Dole, a former Senate majority leader, said of the news conference in an interview this evening.

Mr. Dole, who was at Mr. Thurmond's 100th birthday party when Mr. Lott made his remarks there, said he was confident that Mr. Lott would now survive this episode. And Mr. Lott's associates voiced a similar sentiment.

"We're going through the process of turning it around," said one Lott associate.

No one within the Republican Senate conference—the ones who elected Lott their leader and therefore the majority leader of the incoming Senate—came out against Lott.

"He's apologized; he doesn't believe in segregation and nobody in the conference believes in segregation," said one participant, describing the line argument that would be used.

So allies John McCain of Arizona, Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky have set themselves to go very public in defense of Lott.

Good. May it happen early. Too much Lott is too much Lott. Another morning calls for real work in the US Congress.

Sincere apology? Political acumen?

Until Lott steps down, the dims are going to have the race microphone and they will use it to point the finger and say we are better than you. If Lott does not step down and his opposition gives in, then the dims can save the microphone for a more opportune time. Lott needs to step down and pull the plug.

Yes, the DemonRats are racists. Senator Robert Byrd, DemonRat from West Virginia, on TV last year used the "N" word twice on national television, covered up by the left-wing biased press, never reported. This Rat was a past grand wizard of the KKK. All covered up by the left wing racist press.


Interestingly, Byrd was not in the armed forces in WWII, and that was also precisely when he was in the Klan. On D-Day, Strom Thurmond, a 42-year-old who resigned his judgeship to volunteer for the Army, landed in Normandy, and Robert Byrd, 26 at the time, worked comfortably in a defense plant in West Virginia.

In 1964, President LBJ, Democrat, praised the Republicans for their vote for the civil rights act of 1964 where 21 DemonRats voted NO while ONLY 5 Republican voted NO.

Bill Clinton, Governor 12 yrs. Arkansas, celebrated Confederate Flag Day for ALL 12 of his yrs. as governor and signed ACT 985 enacting Robert E. Lee day, If you forgot your history Lee was the General of the CONFEDERATE army.

Don't forget Bilbo, Faubus, Maddox, and Fulbright. Perhaps the worst of them is Hugo Black, a leading liberal Democrat senator from Alabama who pushed FDR's new deal through congress and, for his loyalty, was appointed by FDR to the US Supreme Court.

Like Byrd, Hugo Black was also a former Klan member. But whereas Byrd was a recruiter for the KKK, Black was much worse.

Black was literally a Klan attorney. He represented Klansmen who were under prosecution for hate murders. In fact that is how Black became famous in Alabama and later won his senate seat.

In 1921 a Klansman went into a Catholic church in Birmingham and murdered a priest in cold blood. He was brought up for prosecution and Klan lawyer Hugo Black signed on as his attorney. Black appealed to racial and religious hatred throughout the trial and even used his Klan connections to sway the jury. Reports of the trial note that at one point Black approached the jury, which included some Klan members, and flashed a series of Klan signals with the implication that they should acquit their fellow Klansman of the murder. They did and Black achieved his fame as the lawyer who got a fellow Klansman off the hook for a hate murder.



IN 1984, Democrat Gary Hart, visited the Wallace mansion in Alabama.

JFK

Roy Cohen worked with Joe McCarthy and Sen. Robert Kennedy was his lawyer

Martin Luther King's room was bugged by JFK and Robert Kennedy

Yes, the DemonRats have their facts wrong and cover up their biases within their biased press which they control. 93% of the media voted DemonRat.

Merry Christmas, well thanks to the political correct DemonRats, that's a bad term to use, it's now Happy Holidays.
