"If I had to listen to her, I probably would have developed a little bit of a segregationist feeling,"[Rep. Ballenger]
said. "But I think everybody can look at my life and what I've done and say that's not true. ... I mean, she was such a bitch." ROFL!

Don't worry, I don't think Ballenger is going to suffer Lott's fate; even black Democrat Mel Watt can understand how McKinney would drive a man to think un-PC thoughts, LOL!
When told of Ballenger's remarks, Rep. Mel Watt, a black Democrat from Charlotte, reacted philosophically.
"I suspect that whatever she's doing that's gnawing on him has to do more with what she's saying and how she's saying it than the fact that she's black," he said.
"I doubt it's her blackness that's annoying him, but it's probably that added factor that makes it intolerable to him, in a sense. I wonder if somebody white did and said the same thing that Cynthia McKinney is saying it would even become a part of his discussion."
As for Lott, Watt said "That's the Republicans' cross to bear."

U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, an S.C. Republican, considers Lott's comments "indefensible," said spokesman Wesley Denton. But, he added, Lott has apologized "and (Wilson) accepts his apology." Frankly his "those I offended" apology and his later capitulation to affirmative action and the Black Caucus agenda is what is really indefensible.
We simply can't have a man with this kind of baggage leading the Republican Senate.

There are times you simply don't like another person. It may have nothing to do with race, but with their personality and character. Too many times, raciality gets mixed in defensively, especially if the situation involves persons of mixed race, but the situation itself it not racial.
Sometimes you just simply don't like another person. And that is a right we all possess.

Ballenger, of Hickory, said he felt similar sentiments dealing with Rep. Cynthia McKinney ... I mean, she was such a bitch." ROTFL.

Didn't Lott ever take a typing class?
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.

Kudos to Sue Myrick, following the NC motto - First in getting Lott to take the next Flight outta town. As for Mel Watt, who unfortunately represents me in a ridiculously gerrymandered district running through Charlotte, NC - I'm sure when he says about Lott, "That's the Republicans' cross to bear" - that we keep bearing it.
I left a message congratulating Myrick on her move - but I can't seem to track down Liddy as Senator-Elect to encourage a similar move. Anybody have any contact info?
