Didn't we just deal with Trent Lott?

Just damn.

Yes and no. We double dealed with trent Lott and dealt off the bottom of the deck with him-but the jokers who twisted what he said, dealt themselves all wild cards.

I just can't drub up much respect for those who either are dumb enough or pretend to be dumb enough to believe that Lott was reminising of the days of segregation, Jim Crow, lynchings and Robert Byrds heyday of KKK, cross burnings and intimidation.

Every honest and rational person in America will admit that Trent merely got carried away in his eulogy of an icon of other times and ways, who adapted to more changes in society than most people ever live to see. The platform and purpose of the Dixiecrat party was ancient history to Lott as it was to almost everyone else. Trent's praise was aimed at the years of service and leadership ability of Strom Thurmond, not those days and acts of racism that the majority of Americans once were guilty of but have long since confined to the archives of history.

I refuse to respect the hypocracy and/or ignorance of those who condemn Strom Thurmond and damn Trent Lott's remarks, while purposefully ignoring the fact that KKK scum is at least one half of the Senatorial representation from West Virginia.

Call me a raciest if you wish-I'll just consider the source as stupid.

This isn't aimed at you mh, I just now noticed that my response is to you-I'll just add all after your name.
