As the head of a nationally recognized nonprofit black organization BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, my organization and I accept Senator Trent Lotts apology regarding his remarks at Senator Strom Thurmonds birthday celebration. I encourage the Senator to not give into the demands of racists who want to keep blacks on the Democratic plantation.
Sen. Lott has released a statement and appeared on national media to apologize for his statements. He has explained his statement and the context in which it was madeenough is enough!
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) are hypocrites and they are the real racists.
Jackson has not apologized for his Hymie town comments, nor for his forty years of immoral leadership; Sharpton has never apologized for his role in the Tawana Brawley disgrace; members of the Congressional Black Caucus have never asked fellow Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd to step down for using the word nigger twice on national television.
Black and white Democrats alike who continue to demand that he [Lott] step down are doing so only for political reasons. And Republicans who fail to support him are displaying cowardice. Lott should not step down; he should not offer any more apologiesthis matter is done! We should judge people based on their hearts and actions, and unlike many of his detractors, Trent Lott has no history of being a racist.

Appeasement of the mindless, evil Socialists is exactly what feeds the source of their power to control and intimidate.
They are shameless hypocrites, and NOTHING they do will ever give them moral superiority.
Lott gave a sincere apology, and that is enough.
The courage of conviction is to stay the course and weather the evil that is American Liberal complicit media and pious guilty conservatives who don't understand the nature of street fighting.
You're in a street fight waving your moral conduct and Marquess of Queensbury rule book.
Start being a Crusader, and not a sucker.
My nomination for quote of the day...
Aside from his cozying up to the CCC (aka 'Klan Lite') until he got called on it. You'd THINK that would make him think twice before opening his mouth in front of TV cameras, but it didn't.
This speach is not revalent as to how he does his job it can eaisly be believed that he ment nothing offensive.
By itself, no. But the guy's track record going back a few years allows a reasonable person to call his motives into question.
It also shows that he's dumb as a fencepost, regardless of what he really believes--and that is the important.
Show me how Lott has mis-behaved in an official capacity or shut up.
He has committed the unpardonable sin of being an incompetent fool. If he were merely the senior Senator from Mississippi, it'd be an issue for discussion between himself and his constituents in 2006.
But he's the Republican Majority Leader, which means he's managed to single-handedly stop the GOP agenda dead in its tracks--because he cannot control his mouth.
He's on duty 24/7, and he's demonstrated that he's unable to hack the load. He needs to go. Now.
If the media want to be intellectually honest about the whole issue, why stop at Trent Lott? Why not, at the same time, call for Robert Byrd, Fritz Hollings, and others to step down too?
The selective moral outrage expressed by the Democrats and the media will only harm them in the end if they persist in shrill attacks and denial of liberal bias while continuing to behave the way that they are.

The next ML of Senate of course.
OK, suppose he does.
How do you handle the Democrat filibuster that would instantly ensue?
Time for Jesse and his pals to head back to Tara; jump down, turn around, pick a bale o' cotton, instead o' jump down, turn around, pick a bale o' hay.
Didn't you hear? The Democrats don't have a destruction machine. Only the Republicans do. At least that's what Bill Clinton said...

Just so long as they don't brand Lott a racist for speaking out against the failure of demRATs "Great Society."
Sweat 'em out.
