Well I explained my reasoning for wanting him out. I am not changing my mind. Lott could say that he is stepping down because that is the will of his colleagues, and he serves at their pleasure. He could say that the whole matter was regrettable, but the world is not all about him. He need not admit he is a racist. In fact, I don't think he is a racist. I think he has this view that the civil rights revolution was bad, and that the deep South would have worked things out amicably on its own. And I think that view is an unacceptable one for a leader of my party to hold. Thus, I want him out. Michael Medved was wacking away at Lott as well today. Lott's half life as ML I don't think is very long, is my guess.

Well, we part company here.

You don't think he's a racist but you want him to step down because others "think" he's a racist and you "think" he has a view that he has said he does not.

Before we hang him would you mind providing some evidence that he thinks the civil rights revolution was bad?
