nope just wanted to know if you all thought he just mispoke or what.
 
Good thing those liberals are here - to protect us from those big, mean, racist Republicans!

Where would I be without them policing people's speech and behavior?

Good thing they are here to protect us, and good thing they stand for everything that is good and right in the world.

I sleep so much better knowing someone like Al Gore is around, always letting me know what's right and what's wrong, what is allowed to be said and what isn't. I'm also glad he is an honest, humble man...that would never use every fledgling opportunity for his own political gain.

PHEW!
 
buckaroo looks like your acuseing the wrong person of makeing a mountain out of a mole hill ...
 
Then I'm sure you'll all turn in to watch Gore on SNL this week :) :p :D
 
Lott said exactly what he meant. He recanted and danced around after the PC crowd got ahold of it. I don't exactly agree with the sentiments of his original statement, but at least be man enough to stand by your words instead of changing it when someone got offended.
 
Last Thursday, at a party celebrating Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday, Senator Trent Lott spoke for Mississippi. During his comments praising the longest serving member of the U.S. Senate, Lott said of Thurmond's 1948 Dixiecrat campaign, a campaign that vigorously opposed a federal anti-lynching law and desegregation legislation, "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."

smack, I didn't accuse anyone of doing that, but who started this thread? I said "let's make a mountain". It has a life of it's own. BTW, did you hear what Jesse Jackson did on one of the interviews? Here's a guy who called NYC "Hymie town" and doesn't think anything of it. But when it's a political opponent, he goes off the handle.
