Lost in all the furor is the strong possibility that he was right! But of course, we can't have him speaking politically incorrect truth, can we?

What do you mean by that? He was a segregationalist. It doesn't matter what else Strom ran for. You are only as good as your weakest link. That would not be good for America. Keeping down an entire race of people is not what America is all about. Geese Louise, I used to consider myself a pretty hardcore right winger, but some of you guys are making me look like a frigg'n hippy liberal.

Do you know uttering a word that can be perceived racist is the worse, absolute worst thing anyone can do in this country.?

When I read some of these posts, I truly wonder.

Can anyone say smokescreen? Misdirection?

Folks, we have a lot of problems in this country and the bogey man of racism that everyone sees lurking behind every word, is simply not one of the worst. It doesn't even make the top 20. Believe me the people coming after us - the people already here - the people plotting for our downfall will not care of some uses the 'enwurd' or if somehow they made a gaffe.

This country is getting carried away by this tempest in a teapot and not focusing on the things that are literally destroying this country.

I just don't get it - I don't.
