So Much More Than Lott

I am reading my Christmas gift Mountain Meadows, right now. I am down on prophets at present.

[Luis Gonzalez]

"Federal government intrusion into the states and the lives of their respective citizens, federal mandated healthcare and drug prescription plans, loss of any mention of God in education since 1962, welfare state."

"...that's what I heard."

The problem is, that no one heard that from Lott.

[jwalsh07]

Is Jorge a Mormon?

[Jorge]

Well, that's because you are an A number one gosh damn mind reader. Not only can you infer, but from that inference you are capable of interpreting the minds, hearts and souls of all other humans.

Are you a prophet?

No...my secret power is that I can read, and learned that the centerpiece of the Dixiecrat platform Thurman ran on was segregation.

From there most normal people (who are not impaired in some way) can figure out what it means to say you wished a Dixiecrat had become President. (duh)

[FreeReign]

"Lott's controversial comments which sparked this entire thing were by any normal interpretation expressing support for the Dixiecrat platform Thurman ran on. And those who insist on dismissing his comments as harmless or "meaningless" can therefore be interpretted as Lott/Dixiecrat apologists in my opinion." (My bold)

I'm an anti-Lott/yankee. I would dismiss Lott's comments because IMO, they were taken completely out of context. Yet you would prejudge a person with my opinion as somebody whos os a Lott/Dixiecrat apologist. What else do you prejudge incorrectly?

The full context shows that Lott was deadpan-joking when he made those comments.

[Torie]

He is probably an Galecian Morman married to a JAP who is raising his kids as Bhuddist. (If so, it would still be difficult to tag his ancestors for Mountain Meadows, unlike a certain governor, but I won't get into that.) That is the most likely take on it reading the tea leaves. But Miss Maple is the professional detective, ask her.

[jwalsh07]

When did you learn about the Dixiecrats Jorge? Did you know at the second Lott uttered those words that he was endorsing segregation de facto or did you have to be educated first on what platform Thurmond ran on and for which party?

[Torie]

Oh that "Jorge." Scrath everything I said. They all look the same anyway.

[jwalsh07]

Oh that "Jorge."

HA!

[TLBSHOW]

If I were President I would of either said nothing that Thursday or I would of come out and said,

Trent Lott apologized for what was perceived as a racist remark, it wasn't a racist remark and its time to move on and heal this country and lift people up in America. While democrats had 8 years to heal it they did nothing but keep the race card going as they are at it again with race baiting. Like Al Gore and his boss tried to paint me a racist while talking in churches during the election of 2000.

The republicans are not racist we are a people that stand with all Americans that want to better themselves or need help doing it. No one American is better or worst than another one. The history of our party is one of standing for civil rights of all Americans. For Black Americans we are the people that voted to end segregation while the democrats did not. Our party does not have a former member of the KKK in it now or ever as the democrats do right now. This racist issue must end and end now that the democrats use as it only shows that democrats want to split the nation. Not heal it. Not better it.

If the democrats want to play this out go ahead we have history and facts behind us and can prove our points that republicans are not a racist party but rather the party of rights for all Americans can the democrats prove their points? No they can't, but they are welcome to go ahead and try and prove Trent is a racist or me or all the whole republican party. I look foreword to meeting you face to face when you tell your story of lies. Go ahead and make my day democrats.

For reporters that would like some reference material on the points I have made see Ari afterwards there will be no excuses in your reporting of this.

Thank you

If that was true, then Lott was making fun of and mocking a 100 year old man...because he was joking when he said he wished he won the Presidency and that it would have prevented a lot of problems. HA HA. What an insult.

Furthermore, your explanation ignores that fact that Lott is on record of saying the SAME EXACT thing years ago....
Of also making statements about the GOP being the party of Jefferson Davis...and how Lott also lead a successful effort in college to ban blacks from a fraternity.
Yes, let's take Lott's statements in their FULL CONTEXT.

You claim I "prejudge incorrectly" and then you offer an unlikely and implausible interpretation of Lott's comments.
Give me a major break.

[Torie]

Maybe it was this "Jorge" aka Hitler, so say the missing usual suspects.

[Jorge]

Oh that "Jorge." Scrath everything I said. They all look the same anyway.

Once again, the Lott/Dixiecrat apologists are reduced to adolescent and meaningless personal insults...when they run out of arguments.
How predictable.

[deport]

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what the proper approach should have been. It got out of hand immediately and neither Lott, the President or other Party leaders seemed to be able to do anything to head it off.... I don't believe that Lott thought it would be that big of a deal and maybe didn't give it enough attention and effort to really seem sincere, I just don't know.

Sometimes the old saying...... Sh't Happens..... seems to be appropriate for this entire event, imo.

Again thanks for the response

[Jorge]

What's the difference?
Is this the best you can do?

[jwalsh07]

Cripes! You hang out there much and you'll begin to have fuzzy vision due to the follicle growth on your retinas.

I rest my case. Like 99% of America you could not have "inferred" anything form Lott's remarks because you are historically challenged.

[Torie]

Once again, the Lott/Dixiecrat apologists

Yep, you have me nailed. I just loved his resume.

[jwalsh07]

I'm gonna sell you a clue at a steep discount.

Torie is your ally on Lott. And I would be willing to bet that he actually knew what that Thurmond ran on the Dixiecrat platform.

[Concerned]

THE ARTICLE STATED: "Am I the only one troubled by this Republican unconditional surrender to an obviously phony charge?"

THANE_BANQUO RESPONDED WITH: "Yes, you are. The GOP wisely used Lott's statement as an excuse to to get rid of someone who was for a long time a severe liability. Lott was easily rolled by Democrats to do whatever they wished, and after his statement, it would have been even easier for the Dem's to control the Majority Leader."

EXACTLY!!!

It is TIME to MOVE ON! Lott is OLD NEWS!!!
