Oh I'm sorry. I thought this was about trying to tear down Ronald Reagan because he used the word "negro" at some point. And after all, if we didn't tear him up for it, we can't by gosh do it to Harry Reid! My Gosh! That would be unfair!Actually he said we'd have been better off if Strom Thurmond had been elected under the Dixiecrat party. I don't know what their platform is......
If you don't know what the dixiecrat platform even says, what the fuck are you even doing in this conversation??????
But yet... there sits Trent Lott. Condemned for an indelicate statement at a birthday party for an old man.
Robert Byrd still sits as the senior member in the senate without any problems for his Klan past, while David Duke (rightly) was thrown under the train for his past whether or not either man turned from them.
The issue is Hypocrisy. You bagged Lott for petty nonsense, and if you want to talk entitlement, you owe we conservatives Reid.
Nice try with the Red Herring though.
Lott was condemned for exposing his belief that America would be a better place today if we had elected a segregationist in 1948 instead of Harry Truman.
And I never bagged Lott for anything.... his own party pushed him out of his leadership position and Dubya didn't say a word in his defense when it looked inevitable.
