"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.

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.
