Just curious about something guys...

Suppose a Republican politician, say for example Tom Delay, said this quote of last night's election results:

"Louisiana politics is a different kind of animal from northern politics"

Then suppose Jesse Jackson said that Delay was a racist because he was "insinuating that black people (who voted for Landreiu) were 'animals'", and Jackson demanded Delay's resignation...

How would you guys react to that? Would the allegation be fair? I am just curious... Thanks!

I don't understand. Your example is of someone being deliberately misquoted. Trent Lott is being quoted correctly, and you refuse to aknowledge the meaning of his words.

FYI

A contingent of black business leaders and clergy will march today on the Chicago headquarters of the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition to protest what they call Mr. Jackson's "self-anointment" as a black leader. "Jesse Jackson has passed himself off as a leader of African Americans," said the Rev. Lance Davis, a Chicago-area minister who has led three other protests against Mr. Jackson in the past month. "Mr. Jackson is not a leader, and he is not a role model, yet he has been represented as one by the media and by himself and his supporters." The protesters, a loosely knit group of about 300 who call themselves Voices of Morality, are also asking businesses and corporations to ignore Mr. Jackson, who has forced major companies to adopt expensive diversity programs under the threat of boycott.
