You forget that Lott was a segrehationist forty years ago when that meant people who associated with people who lynched blacks. I still remember walking by a store in East Texas where a bunch of kids from a neighboring town drove past firing a .22 at blacks kids dancing inside. One kid was struck in the head and died. Vivid in my memory is walking past the next day and seeing the bloodstain on the floor. THAT is the reality of segregation: stupid hated and bloodshed, not mere words.

RobbyS.... We are talking POLITICS here, what Lott said and what Bush said. Not what transpired long ago. The subject is politics. I am not the judge of anyones actions or their character. We are discussing the POLITICS of this affair.
