[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I think they messed up. If Lott said anything racist, I'd play Frank Sinatra music for a week [the worst torture I can think of]. Truman was president in '48, and he had ties to the KKK. This report is going to backfire, and all these quick-to-bash Lott guys are going to eat their words.

[A.J.Armitage]

Truman had begun the process of joining the KKK years earlier, but backed out. As president, he desegregated the military, pushed for anti-lynching legislation, ect. This is what Thurmond objected to. If Truman was tainted by his earlier positions, Thurmond and a lot of people are even more tainted now. Only an ignoramus (or a liar) would say Truman was a racist president.

I just put some Sinatra on.
