I am afraid this is mostly an exercise in self delusion. None of the listed Dems has done anything near what Lott did in the last 20 years, and it is all GOP spin. This whole bit that some white Dems are racist fellow travelers too is really quite silly, and simply embarrasses Pubbies, at least this one. This whole line of attack should be dropped. We are better than that. JMO.

"You had wetbacks from California that came in here for Cranston,"

"Everybody likes to go to Geneva. I used to do it for the Law of the Sea conferences and you'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva."

"the senator from B'nai B'rith."

"blackbo coalition."

"darkies"

The context of Lott's recent remark was a self-effacing joke. I have no idea what the full context of the above Hollings comments are but it looks like you are the one who is "quite silly", "embarassing" and "self delusional" for thinking that Lott's remark don't occupy the same neighborhood as Hollings listed remarks.

I guess Fritz Hollings calling African leaders "Cannibals" just a short 9 years ago pails in comparrison to Lotts attempt at making an old man feel good.

Or Byrd's use of the word Nigger just 2 years ago in a nationally televised interview.
