"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."

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?

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

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)

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.
