NEW YORK (CNN) -- Former President Clinton said Wednesday it is "pretty hypocritical" of Republicans to criticize incoming Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott for stating publicly what he said the GOP does "on the back roads every day."
"How do they think they got a majority in the South anyway?" Clinton told CNN outside a business luncheon he was attending. "I think what they are really upset about is that he made public their strategy."
He added: "They try to suppress black voting, they ran on the Confederate flag in Georgia and South Carolina, and from top to bottom the Republicans supported it."
Clinton's comments were strongly refuted by a Republican spokesman, who called on the former president to "check his facts."
Lott, a Mississippi Republican, has been fighting for his political life since he suggested that the United States would have been better off had it elected Strom Thurmond president on a segregationist ticket in 1948. Lott has since repeatedly apologized.

Sometimes it's a positive to keep a bad memory alive & the purpose of doing so is to never forget what the Republic has gone thru all of these years .
Thank others in the past and on this very day this dreck will not be buried with other people who have given to something greater than themselves .
I'm going to piss on him 1 way or the other . period .

Well he did warn us when he left office .. but since he never could tell the truth, I was praying he was just lying ..
