***REV. PETERSON TO SENATOR LOTT: “DON’T GIVE IN TO RACIST DEMOCRATS!***

“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 Lott’s apology regarding his remarks at Senator Strom Thurmond’s 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 made—enough 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 apologies—this 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.”

[Howlin]

He should go because we need to be the party that does as we say, not as they do.

We demanded they have higher standards; no reason to lower ours because Trent is one of us.

REV. PETERSON TO SENATOR LOTT: “DON’T GIVE IN TO RACIST DEMOCRATS!

I wish there were Republican voices that spoke so loud so clear and so true as Rev. Paterson does on this subject. The Republican Party will lose no votes on this issue... So why do we care? Why do we worry? Why should we change anything to appease these racist hate mongers?

I realize that most of us want a different majority leader, but joining the racist bandwagon to topple Lott will not achieve that without harm to our own party.

[Let's Roll]

I agree with you. He IS stupid and it's just a matter of time before he steps in it again. He's also ineffective which is the real reason he needs to go. He just plain doesn't get it.

The irony is that his remarks should come from "notta lotta, wouldn't say it if he had a mouthful" Lott.

[Neets]

I seem to remember having a conversation about Lott being a distraction right after the 2000 election. Remember?

[William McKinley]

Yep. I sure do.

[Neets]

The time has come.

[TLBSHOW]

THE TIME HAS COME TO SEND BYRD PACKING NOT LOTT

[Reagan Man]

Trent Lott didn't do anything to damage the spirit of our country. Lott was at a birthday party and made a few stupid comments. The liberal establishment has used this to define Trent Lott, all conservatives and all Republicans. You have fallen pry to the rhetorical outbursts, political correctness and race baiting of the liberal establishment. Either way this situation turns out, we lose and the liberals win, but the level of that loss will be much higher if we allow the leftwing to dictate the terms of victory. I say, we should defend Trent Lott, screw the liberal elites and move on best we can. And I suggest PresBush keep his mouth closed!

[TLBSHOW]

GW - our second BLACK president.

[philosofy123]

Bush is making a big mistake saying that he has confidence in this stupid guy. Mr. Parking Lott, is a worthless leader, anyway. During the impeachment of Clinton, he exhibited no strength of character. He appeared to be hiding stuff in his toupee’! During Wellstone memorial service, the Dems dissed him, and he had no spine to violently object to this behavior like Ventura did. He has no business being the Senate leader, and Bush has no moral judgment defending him.

I really do not understand why our politicians do not have any sense of honor or shame. If I did something wrong in private, and the story came out to embarrass me, I would immediately run away, and hope that no one will ever see me or talk to me. We had a guy in the white house with a misused cigar, a phone-sex book, and a stained dress; he still held on with a leather skin! I would have disappeared in some secluded area not be found, or heard from till I die. European, and Israeli politicians are different. Once a scandal is unraveled, the politician immediately resigns or gets fired. Two recent cases, the German babe, who made the Nazi remarks about Bush; right away she resigned not to have her party suffer because of her stupid remark. The other babe is the Canadian information minister, she also made a bad remark about Bush, and the next day resigned. Lott, is simply an idiot, like most of the leather skinned, power hungry politicians. They cannot see life away from the seat of power, and the camera. For the Republican Party future, he should have resigned immediately rather then wait for the President or other heavy weight to tell him to get heck out. Republicans who defend him, and compare his remarks with Bird’s “N” word, are doing our party a disservice. Rush is correct, from the first moment, he heard the statement; he called it stupid, and indefensible! You don’t need focus groups to tell how stupid this remark was. Just get the heck out, move on an island in the pacific where there is no phone or camera. Live your life in shame, until you are six feet under. That is the honorable way for a person who has a sense of shame.

[Howlin]

I haven't fallen for anything. I am fully aware of the spin going on.

I am, however, free to make up my own mind. I think he's too inept to lead the party anymore. He IS the story now, not the country.

[Howlin]

Lott just issued a statement AGREEING with Bush.

[Howlin]

Lott just issued a statement AGREEING with what Bush said.

[Republic]

Rev. Peterson is a grown-up, an American first, who knows that the color of his skin has no bearing on his character. His common sense and willingness to call attention to the truth is so needed and welcome. He knows where the real plantation slaves live, and is bound and determined to free them. Mental bondage is the worst. He is hammering at the shackles that have for many years, under liberal horror, chained the thinking of our precious black population to leaders in our nation who want to victemize and use them for personal goals.

[twyn1]

And I suggest PresBush keep his mouth closed!

Sorry -- but I think Bush handled the situation in the right way. He very strongly and sternly denounced the very idea of segregation, let it be known that Lott was right to apologize, and put forth examples of Republican support for African-Americans. He did this in front of a VERY enthusiastic audience with many minorities present...hopefully we'll hear some of these statements in sound bites on tonights news

He has NOT called for Lott to resign, not even as Majority leader

[Poohbah]

I guess that TLBSHOW thinks Lott's a coward, so he should stay as Majority Leader...go figure :o)
