im not terribly worried, let them turn the country into black vs white, last time i checked there are a few more white voters than black

This all is right out of the communist manifesto.

She has a lot of nerve! The next picture we see of her, she will be with the President, sucking up! I can't stand her.

My, what an unfortunate set of words and images this brings forth... no-no-no... not in the Bush White House! :-)

I thought you were a Lott basher all along, Ill-boy. At least I assumed you were.

It is time for Republicans to fight back now!

Wrong! Republicans should have been fighting back against the liberal establishment for the last three weeks. They should have been knocking down all the double standards and race baiting that was going on during the condemnation and assassination of Trent Lott.

What's happened to your objectivity and level headedness. Open your eyes already!

I agree. We have to make sure this info gets out. The anger in the Republican Party will be monumental. Like I said, the RATS are overreaching and all but RAT voters will see it in time.

It's starting. The Dems smell blood with this issue, and are going on a roll.

Let them start! This will soliidify the Republican base, and turn off the independent and swing voters. It only continues to show that the Dems have not ideas of their own.

The Senator Wore White

And then there is Robert C. Byrd, Democratic senator from West Virginia (and George Mitchell's predecessor as Senate Majority Leader). He voted against the nomination of new Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas on October 15th on grounds (among others) that Thomas had "mounted his own defense" during his nomination hearings "by charging that the [Senate Judiciary] committee proceedings were a high-tech lynching of uppity blacks." Byrd branded it "an attempt to fire the prejudices of race hatred."

Senator Byrd has first-hand knowledge of racism. When he was running for Congress in 1952, his campaign was nearly derailed when a tough primary opponent revealed that Byrd had once belonged to the Ku Klux Klan. During a subsequent radio broadcast, Byrd acknowledged that he had been a member of the Klan from "mid-1942 to early 1943" because he was young (24) and because it "offered excitement." But he claimed: "After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization. During the nine years that have followed, I have never been interested in the Klan."

Byrd, who was praised for his "candor" and "forthrightness" regarding the issue, won the primary handily to secure the Democratic nomination. But just prior to the final election, a letter surfaced (in Byrd's own handwriting) which confirmed that his association with the Klan had been far more cordial, for a far longer time, than he had claimed. Dated April 8, 1946 (three years after his alleged break with the Klan), the letter was addressed to Klan Imperial Wizard Samuel Green of Atlanta. It stated in part: "I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state .... The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia .... It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va .... I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities."

So the same Robert Byrd who railed against Clarence Thomas for raising the spectre of racism and lynching was actively promoting the Klan years after he told voters he had severed all ties with it. He was nevertheless elected, as he has been six times since.

Clearly, when it comes to the Ku Klux Klan, the Democrats now pillorying Republicans about David Duke have a full hamper of their own dirty bedsheets. Admittedly, the former memberships of other public officials in the Klan should have absolutely no bearing on the significance of Duke's recent membership. But history shows that major media exposures of "racism" can be very selective. In the media's eyes, not every Klansman is the same.

You know what I mean! She always gets that face in next to the President. She's disgusting. I wish they would send her AND Barbara Streisand somewhere far, far away. We just can't get rid of these people!

If I were Dubya I'd let the DemoRats spew their venom for a couple weeks, then give a stern, authoritative speech (like the one two nights ago wherein he chastised Lott) and throw it all back in their faces.

I don't know if President Bush will do something like that or not. My guess is that he will just go about his business and let the RATS overplay their hands. That has worked well in the past. However, he may say something in his State Of The Union...who knows?

So what if Hillary says the Republican Party is racist? The only people that will be upset with her are the Republican's. She'll be defended by Jackson, Sharpton and the rest of her brothers and sisters, AND CNN!

Sorry Lott isn't partly at fault, he's screwed up all of it. A first class moron.

I'm shocked, so shocked, that race baiting is so common. Evidently the only one who didn;t know that we're at war with leftists that engage in it was that dumba$$ Lott!

Now how can he be running things being so dumb.

Calm down - first of all, those of us correctly wanting Lott out never said it would quiet the Dems, understand? The libs played this game long before Lott, and certainly they will afterwards. I will guarantee you right now that the Dems won't succeed in painting Frist, Bush or the GOP as a whole as racists. They are overreaching and trying to now salvage an issue that blew up in their face. They would play this game whether Lott stayed or went, so how does ridding the Senate leadership of a boob hurt the GOP agenda? And the Pubs now have more media strength to handle these bums.

THANK YOU THANK YOU! For putting it into words I could'nt have! That's exactly what I've been HOPPING MAD about all morn, only to have Freepers flame me at every corner! I saw this coming a few wks ago, when the liberal media WHORES were doing a full press on Lott, I knew the pubs were going to cave in to them...as usual. Their plan worked perfectly. This is only the beginning of the MISERABLE RATS agenda! They weren't gunning for Empty LOTT, they are going for the BIGGER PRIZE!

That is not news. Hillary, the leftist calling the Republicans racists? They have been calling us bigots/racist/homophobs all the time. They have the right to say what they wish! The media is on their side and would never expose them!

Well it doesn't matter who is chosen as ML, they will get dragged through the mud like Lott and now Frist. So, I say pick the most conservative Republicans out there and say F-you to the Dems. Unfortunately, Rove will never let that happen.
