And it's fine with you if Lott branded me and the entire party and the South racists to try to save his sorry bigoted butt.
.......

He didn't it was the Clintons and the rats that branded you. The Clinons and the rats are dead wrong and they are the racist ones as Peter king said on WABC radio....

Explain this?

What did Lott say?

"I am pleased to join my colleagues in paying tribute to Senator Strom Thurman and honoring him for his unparalleled record of public service to this Nation.... In 1948, while he was still Governor, Thurman ran for President as a State's Right Democrat and received 39 electoral votes, the third best showing by an independent candidate in U.S. history."

Oh wait… sorry, my mistake. That was Senator Carl Levin who said that on the floor of the U.S. Senate on September 24, 2002. Levin is Democrat from Michigan. Oh, and Thurman wasn't a Democrat back then, despite Levin wanting to claim as such. Thurman was a Dixiecrat.

or this

After the war, Strom returned home to South Carolina. He was elected Governor in 1946 and then ran for President of the United States as the States Rights Democratic candidate. Although Harry Truman prevailed, Strom won four states and 39 electoral votes. That tally still stands as the third largest independent electoral vote in US history.

Despite not winning the presidency, Strom was determined to serve in Washington. He ran for the Senate in 1954 and became the only candidate elected to Congress by a write-in vote in American history. Strom has been re-elected eight times since. Clearly the people of South Carolina value principle, character and courage in their leaders.

Yes that is ML Bill Frist about Storm

AND THEN HERE IS TRENT ABOUT STORM JOKING AT A BIRTHDAY PARTY

Lott said Mississippians were proud to have voted for Thurmond in 1948. "And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either."
........
