If I remember correctly, Thurmond's stance on segregation changed in the half-century since he ran for President. Lott et al. should highlight this change, saying that he'd forgotten that Thurmond's views today aren't the same as 50 years ago.

Lott never said anything that had to do with segrefation. I'm fed up with this 24 hour media blitz on this topic; which should not BE a topic. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Quite right. And don't forget, he was a segregationist when he was a democrat. When he changed his view, he became a Republican (1964).
