In my view, the Senate Majority Leader has two jobs: No. 1 is doing what's best for America, and No. 2 is looking out for the interests and agenda of his party in the Senate. Sen. Lott showed during the impeachment trial that he was too worried about job 2 to do job 1. As he's now completely compromised his ability even to do job 2, he should step down as Majority Leader, and give someone with more energy and conviction the chance to get in there and lead.
That said, thanks for the excellent Coulter column, John.

Someone posted yesterday(I think roseoftexas) that Lott should have said the very first day that * I was a Democrat when I held those views, I changed and became a Republican*...it would have stopped them dead in their tracks.
btw....Merry Christmas John!
To: JohnHuang2
Made my day. Thanks.

Back when they supported segregation, Lott and Thurmond were Democrats. Southern Democrats from Reconstruction to the 1970s were conservative, rather than liberal. The South was a one party region, with the Democratic Party as the dominant party. The recent dominance of the Republican Party in the South began when a growing number of Southern Democrats reconciled their political beliefs with their party affiliation by switching to the Republican Party.

If Lott had sid this, it would all be over:
"In 1948, when I was a democrat, I supported those goals, then I became a republcan and changed those views."
?That would have killed the story

Democrats have a Lott of trouble: Ann Coulter
says media knowingly hiding fact Excerpt:
Just two years before Lott's remarks, a hagiographic book on Wallace's life was released, titled "American Dreamer." How about a book about a segregationist titled "American Dreamer"? Wallace's version of the American "dream" was communism every bit as much as Strom Thurmond's dream was segregation. Aren't dreams of murderous dictators, gulags and death camps at least comparable in evil to segregated lunch counters?
The dust jacket on "American Dreamer" featured a nauseating statement of praise by U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy. Kennedy said that the book deserved "to be read by all who care about the American dream." The American dream: communist totalitarianism. Why wasn't the lecherous liberal asked to retire for his flattering remarks about a proven Soviet fifth columnist?
In 1999, the Clinton administration dedicated a room at the Agriculture Department to Wallace. At the dedication, former Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern gave a speech explicitly praising Wallace's pro-Soviet positions, such as the idea that the Cold War was "overdone" and that "problems" between the nations "could not be resolved by military means."
McGovern fondly recalled that he himself had voted for Wallace. He chipperly reminded the audience that he had run for president in 1972 "on a similar platform" with the help of a young Yale law school graduate named Bill Clinton. Inasmuch as Trent Lott was in kindergarten in 1948, he did not vote for Thurmond. He did not run on a "similar" platform to the Dixiecrats. He did not write a jacket-flap endorsement calling a segregationist an "American Dreamer."

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

Nice job!

The double standard regarding communist influence in America will never be overcome. Our media elites did not find it as offensive as they did the 'ordinary' Americans, like Ronald Reagan, who said communism was intolerable.

Ann is correct keep Lott Where does she say that?
Sounds to me like she thinks his handling of the situation since the remark that set this mess in motion has been atrocious. Why, that is exactly what some of us have been saying and you would have none of it!
I totally agree with her that the media does not hold the rats to a honorable standard, and I totally agree with her historical analysis. I totally agree that it isn't fair.
But where oh where does she say to "keep Lott"???
To: cyncooper
where does she say dump him. unless republicans do it for what Lott says about Ted! LOL
