Well, I would have to prove that I am not by puting myself in the circumstances as Lott. Which I just did.

With support of the platform, one cannot defend charges he is a racist.

If I say I support murder and rape, how do I support a position that I am not for murder and rape?

The point was that one cannot prove a negative which is why under our judicial system one is innocent until proven guilty.

Nice try, but you have yet to prove you -- not Trent Lott -- are not a racist.

And, of course, you are aware Lott has not endorsed the Dixiecrat Platform.

The truth is that none of us know what Lott was thinking when he made his remarks, but I don't think many people would be this upset if:

1- Lott were a Democrat;

2 - Lott were a liberal;

3 - Lott were from Massachussetts; or if,

4 - Lott were a black female.

Just a couple of things for you to think about while you're putting the final knots in your noose.
