No, it does not.
"Have you stopped beating you wife?" implies that you beat your wife.
"Do you have brown hair?" does not imply that you have brown hair.
"Do you support a certain law or policy?" does not imply that you support that law or policy.
"Do you support federally mandated racial desgregation and federal anti-lynching and anti-poll-tax laws?" does not imply one answer or the other.
You could make an argument that "Don't you support federally mandated...?" implies your answer, but the question was not formulated in that way.
It still has not been answered, BTW.
To: Bluntpoint
It's just a flesh wound. Come over here and I'll bite you to death!!!
To: gridlock
You should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting that defense of Lott implies support of segregation.
To: gridlock
ARTHUR: You fight with the strength of many men, Sir knight.
I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
[pause]
I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me
in my Court of Camelot.
[pause]
You have proved yourself worthy; will you join me?
[pause]
You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy.
BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass.
ARTHUR: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir knight, but I must
cross this bridge.
BLACK KNIGHT: Then you shall die.
ARTHUR: I command you as King of the Britons to stand aside!
BLACK KNIGHT: I move for no man.
ARTHUR: So be it!
[hah]
[parry thrust]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off]
ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch.
ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off!
BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't.
ARTHUR: Well, what's that then?
BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse.
ARTHUR: You liar!
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on you pansy!
[hah]
[parry thrust]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right arm off]
ARTHUR: Victory is mine!
[kneeling]
We thank thee Lord, that in thy merc-
[hah]
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on then.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: Have at you!
ARTHUR: You are indeed brave, Sir knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT: Yes I have.
ARTHUR: Look!
BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound.
[bang]
ARTHUR: Look, stop that.
BLACK KNIGHT: Chicken! Chicken!
ARTHUR: Look, I'll have your leg. Right!
[whop]
BLACK KNIGHT: Right, I'll do you for that!
ARTHUR: You'll what?
BLACK KNIGHT: Come 'ere!
ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me?
BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible!
ARTHUR: You're a loony.
BLACK KNIGHT: The Black Knight always triumphs!
Have at you! Come on then.
[whop]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's other leg off]
BLACK KNIGHT: All right; we'll call it a draw.
ARTHUR: Come, Patsy.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You yellow
bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you.
I'll bite your legs off!
To: aristeides
I am not ashamed of myself because I am suggesting nothing of the sort.
To: gridlock
Yes, you are.
To: aristeides
Gotta go. Will check in later.
To: aristeides
"Yes, you are."
Translation:
Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You yellow
bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you.
I'll bite your legs off!

Note that I'm not making fun of anyone.
To: Bluntpoint
I assume you've conceded the discussion you're in with Aristedes, as you've reduced your answers to ridiculous insults.
Senator Lott didn't say anything racist or pro-segregation...get over it. If saying flattering things to a colleague at his 100th birthday celebration is a crime, this is becoming a very scary world.
You really should see the movie MINORITY REPORT

Which is kind of a serious problem for a majority leader, not to mention for the party he leads.

I've been a republician for over fourty years. But if Lott remain as the ML, I will quit the party. Because it's all over but the shouting. The republician party can not hold the core of the party together, if they don't have the guts to lead. And Lott is a gutless wonder. I have refues to give money after I had watched Lott in action for a while.
To: longrider
BTTT and a very, very Merry Christmas to you and your longrider!
To: ApesForEvolution
haaaaha! sorry 'bout that. you and yours longrider! LOL! ROFMHO!!! hahaha. I can't believe how much one letter means when you leave it out. sorry!!!
To: Howlin
Howlin, TLBSHOW had it wrong. You're the DNC FR mole! LOL!! (:o
Sorry, after reading this whole thread and wading through the vapid and incongruous musings by the "CUSTER CAUCUS" on this thread, the only thing I could think about was how funny your typo was.
BTW, someone prominent just threw their support behind Frist, who was it? :)
I have been skiing all day after making several 'politicking' calls this morning. What have I missed here today, in brief summation? Thanks!
Oh, yeah. Sir Laugha Lott is officially history as SML and knows it - but just hasn't admitted to it yet.
To: beckett
taint me as a "former Democrat."--
well then... I guess I got it right.
I seem to remember a lot of anti bush drivel from you too.
You one of thos anti nafta, america only, isolationists too?
--but enough of my poor excuse of "strawman" and "ad hominem" attack right? You forgot to accuse me of that perhaps.
Here is my apparently not-well-received paradigm;
Lott WAS simply being nice to an old man, a party leader who had been repeatedly RE ELECTED to his post faithfully for DECADES by his constituency. I guess you think the majority of folks who voted thurmond into office, time and time again were evil as well eh?
Lott will probably go bye bye. Then you can jeer and cheer, as your validation of the democrat strategy comes to bear on its next victim...
I have NO love for Lott. Said it repeatedly. I just don't like the validation and support racist democratic strategy is getting from this useless self imolation we have engaged AFTER the un eraseable fact of what Lott's mouth has uttered in the minds of many "race bait" takers here.
I point out again that even MANY prominent liberals do NOT think lott is racist, and believe he is EXACTLY what I have said... a guy who has foot in mouth disease, who slipped up in a very minor way, publicly... and THEY accept his apology and explanation on face value.
I have no doubt others would do a better job. I hope they will. I also expect that this "proceedure" will become a great favorite of the 'neobolshivists' of the left... as they seek to engage in a race war, in time for the next presidential elections.
Granting their heart's desire, will only encourage more of the same. That will probably make you feel better, right?
