Didn't Lott give a similar explanation about the deal with not letting blacks into his fraternity?

There's no need for someone to step down for voicing their opinions. Remember free speech?

The guy is still an asshole.

No... 1964 was a long time ago, things have changed. Things have changed since last week but not in the same sense of over 30 years.

A lot of people would have still believed that segregationism was a good think 30 years ago, now people can actually realize its not. Im not saying what Gore sr. said was good thing, but still, that wasn't Al that was running for this presidential race, or even in the same timeframe ... I bet Lott's father still had a slave. hah

talk about a double standard...personally i couldn't careless but it's just amazing that the standards seem to lower when the politicians that libbies support screw up. Do you feel the same about Strom Thurman? It was a long time ago he believed what he believed. (i have no love for Strom, mind you)

Strom is worse because he was the one who ran for president under a segregationist platform. Almost all the old skool southern politicians, and many today are rascists. Just ask Jesse Helms.

He said.....


// In case you missed it; Lott said to Thurmond's birthday audience "I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either."

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

And Strom thurmond said this during the campaign Trent now wishes Strom had won:


"I wanna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that there's not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigger race into our theatres, into our swimming pools, into our homes and into our churches."



Trent Lott is trying backtrack his statements but in 1980 he felt the same way:"You know, if we had elected this man (Thurmond) 30 years ago, we wouldn't be in the mess we are today"

Lott was just trying to say some nice things to an old coot on his 100th birthday. I think he was about 3 years old when the now fossilized former democrat ran for president.

How come nobody raises a stink about West Virginia Democrat, Robert Byrd a former member of the Ku Klux Klan? He used the word 'nigger' on nationwide television, not once, but twice. Odd how Klan membership and racial epithets get ignored for democrats.

Maybe because Byrd isn't as well-known as Trent Lott.

I hardly see how Lott endorsing Thurmond makes HIM racist.

I agree. Lott was probably referring to other aspects of Thurmond's campaign, like state rights. Still, he should've known better than to make that statement.

Maybe not to you. The last time the Democrats took control of the Senate (when Jeffords left the Republicans), Byrd was sworn in as president pro tempore, a post that is third in line for presidential succession.

Hmm...Interesting. Well, I blame the media for not covering it enough. I was not aware of this incident.
