You do not address the fact the quote has been made a TOTAL of 11 times on his web page.

I'll back up BlackElk's - have Tancredo make his run on immigration. Bring it on - let's test how big this issure REALLY is among Republican voters. What are you afraid of? You'll lose?

I'm going to add one other item. The SPLC has pulled back when they have made mistakes - as an editor's note from a timeline on their report on Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church did when they were contacted:

So go ahead, present your refutations to them - lay your case out. I'm very sure they would do the same thing if they are mistaken in the case of Mr. Spencer. But if I were inclined to bet on this, I'd bet they have plenty of evidence to back their allegations.

Oh, so because it has been pasted 11 times on a website, that makes it more signficant? Lott only uttered his comments once - it is the words that matter, not the count.

Nice try at changing the subject. The subject is the lack of will by government at all levels to enforce existing immigration law, in defiance of laws that the federal government has passed - and this issue is resonating with an increasing number of voters. But trying to therefore turn it into a single-issue campaign is a demand that it turn down the path of futility, as single-issue campaigns seldom if ever work. So we'll acknowledge the strawman that you and BlackElk have erected as we drive right on by it.

The SPLC has pulled back when they have made mistakes

So has the NY Times - of course, only when they are absolutely pinned down or the retraction is insignificant. So just because the SPLC has retracted once, doesn't mean it is so inclined on a regular basis. You're defending one of the most liberal, obnoxious, progagandist organizations out there, dude. SPLC is a pretty hard sell here at FR, and so far your sales pitch isn't anywhere near up to the task.
