I think I'll pass --- BET is not my cuppa. Unlike Trent Lott's advisors, I am one black woman who doesn't watch BET much ... though, I must confess, the news items they were teasing looked more interesting than those on my local CBS afflilate.

And I will be watching the football games. Like the bands!

he energized the Black base...
He energized the vast Democrat Black base...not the little GOP Black base..or any GOP base, for that matter.
What is wrong with that?
If you don't know, I can't tell you.
I hope he energies the entire race of all colors. It would be nice to have people voting for a change.
Control you idealism. Don't let it work against you. People shouldn't vote without studying the candidates and the issues.

Even Carville knows his limits

That is the funniest thing that I have seen so far. Carville knows his limits so well that he is now hosting Crossfire along with his buddy, "The Forehead", Begala after running the entire Clinton crime gang. He helped destroy anyone that got in Clinton's way and he will do it again to help get Hillary elected President. That is her goal and she will stop at nothing to get back in the White House. Don't ever believe any different. POWER HUNGRY doesn't even begin to describe her.

That is exactly what I don't want anyone to do! Do you really think that Carville didn't have anything to do with this? Because the fact is that he did, so says Lloyd Grove of The Washington Post(who isn't exactly a right-wing kook).

Well then we need to call Carville to the carpet for starting the trouble

As for Lott, don't get me wrong, I have been on Lott's side about what happen and his comments, but this interview did not help him ..

I just got in, but from the bit I've heard and what I predicted last night (and every day since 11/5), the true Lott is surfacing ferociously. Better to cut the liability out of the leadership poster now, but then I'm being a broken record. Oh well. The truth is what it is.

You just aren't listening.

The President of the United States is not groveling before Carville.

Republican Senators and Congressmen as a group are not groveling before Carville.

Rank and file Republicans are not groveling before Carville.

TRENT LOTT is the ONLY ONE who has placed himself in that compromised position---one he made even worse tonight! He is groveling at their feet promising them everything their racist little hearts could desire!!

Why are you havving such a hard time connecting with this reality?

Racist?

Ummm...exactly how is that statement racist? Just look at Bill Clinton - self described "first Black president". Tell me he wasn't a black "wanna-be".

The good 'ole "I feel your pain" sort of wanna-be's are what I was referring to. If they can act "black" and con everyone into believing that they are out for the best interest of the "black man", then they have the black vote tied up. It's been going on for far too long.

I guess if my stating this fact makes me a Racist in your book - who am I too argue?

As to your other statement "as long as they aren't those southerners", and you call ME racist? Then again, only a liberal commie Clinton butt-boy would think that way, and since there is no room here for those types, you must be mistaken (or on the wrong message board).

"We will not get anything passed if he remains as Majority Leader. He will be too sensitive to his own position to push anything. Time to go, Lott, for the good of your party"

Worth repeating.

Do you want more affirmative action, i.e., reverse discrimination?

You are kidding right? Carville has been calling every "news" organization and the print media to keep this alive. Lloyd Grove of The Washington Post told Tony Snow this on Sunday.

They don't have to get out in front of anyone to get the story they want started and keep it there. They are the all time pros at media control. People keep telling me that no one told them about Clinton. I told everyone that I could about Clinton. James Carville is the best when it comes to media spin. Remember Hillary as one of the smartest lawyer's in the country? LOL! I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what cases she won(or even worked on for that matter).

"Why shouldn't they use the race card again? It works so well on all of you. No need to wait for the other side to crucify him we do that all by ourselves."

Look...you're understandably upset, but you're making accusations all over the place, and accusing posters everywhere of thinking things that they aren't.

I have said from the beginning that this is not about Lott...that Lott's comments - and his weakness - have made him the VEHICLE with which the Dems are using the RACE card to destroy the PRESIDENT! This isn't ABOUT race...it's about THEM getting back into the White House!!

I've accused him of being an IDIOT, a gutless wonder, spinless, gonadless...all sorts of things, and I've been doing that since BEFORE THIS fiasco, but I have NEVER accused him of being a racist, because I don't have ENOUGH PROOF THAT HE IS. DO however, have PLENTY of proof...in JUST THE PAST FEW DAYS, that he IS a spinless, gutless, hopeless nutless wonder. Don't paint me with your angry brush.

I missed this interview. Did he say that he is now going to work for affirmative action?

"Bad mistake to address black Americans specifically. Lott's only hope was to issue his apologies, keep his mouth shut, let his defenders defend him and then hope the whole thing would blow over or that something big would crowd this issue off the the front pages. Instead he keeps on stirring the pot."

Lott's too stupid, proven time and again, to lead.

Watch what happens in the next few days!

When the RATS think Trent Lott might lose his leadership position they will forgive him in the hopes that he will remain the ML and this issue will continue to be an issue. The fact is. Lott had a chance to handle this correctly and he blew it. His interview tonight on BET was pathetic and I'm now convinced we need a Majority Leader who can articulate his objections to the failed policies of Affirmative Action and other racist policies.

His proclaiming he supports AA tonight was a complete an utter slap in the face to all of us who have supported candidates with our time and money who pledged to fight these types of policies that reward mediocracy and punish excellence
