Gallup: Americans Critical of Lott, Plurality believes he should step down as Senate leader

----------------------------------

The pluralits will believe what they are programmed to believe and will do what they are programmed to do. I havent seen such intense attempt to create mass hysteria since Watergate. Then, initially few people cared. As people were repeatedly bombarded with hysteria, they were drawn in. The same is true with the Lott spectacle.

I agree. In fact what I found remarkable were the answers to the last question, that despite of the bombardment of people with media hysteria, most people still realize that Lott's expression was indeed merely a poor choice of words:

"Despite these results, most Americans (62%) believe that Lott's praise of Thurmond did not indicate that Lott endorsed segregationist policies, but rather that Lott just made a poor choice of words. Democrats are about evenly divided on the issue, while large majorities of both independents and Republicans say Lott's comments were mostly a bad choice of words."

In my opinion, that indicates, that the whole thing would blow over, if the Republicans would step up and make it clear to the circling vultures, that no matter what they shriek, they are keeping Lott ML, PERIOD. Once they realize that it has no effect, the hysteria would die down, since the American people aren't buying the whole package.

If they are successuful, then they will tarr and feather the entire Republican party with the racist label and we never hear the end of it. Republicans need to read and ponder Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson's statements, who does see things clearly.

Lott has thrown gasoline on the fire at every step of the way. His endorsement of affirmative action only confirms that he is indeed a racist.
