And a very good night to you!

The obvious weight of the double standard in this country is palpable. While I am glad that Lott is gone, I'm angry about the media who gladly carry this weight around. They carry it in plain sight while denying that it exists.
To: JohnHuang2
I just knew Walter E. Williams would get it right!

I think we are missing the point here. This whole Lott issue is not about Democrats it is about Republicans.
Those who look and say there is a double standard and whine and complain and say "but the Democrats do it why can't we" are just as bad as the RATS themselves. You sound like they did on Nov. 6. Blaming everyone but themselves.
The Republican party has been a haven for racists for decades (regardless of whether there are also RAT racists as well). We are finally in a position to leave that legacy behind and Lott is being put up as a sacrifice for the greater good of the party.
If he were defended and allowed to stay on (as justice would dictate, but not political necessity), it would be used by the media as "proof" that Republicans are only interested in helping rich white people get richer and continue to harbor the attitudes of the past century. We cannot allow this lie to continue to be spread and that means holding ourselves to a higher standard and watching what we say.
Republicans have always been held to a higher standard (partly because we want it that way) and so I say to all of you who feel the need to point this difference out - get over it.
The RATS have gone far with their lies about being the party of inclusion. Republican tolerance of racists in our midst have let them get away with it for far too long. There is a purging going on and it is about time. Once the myth of a hidden racist agenda is disavowed, the clear contrast between the values of America's largest parties will become more evident and the one that truly represents the best interests of the American people will grow stronger.
Lott is but a nail in the coffin of Republican racism. G.W.B. is the hammer.

Blaming everyone but themselves. I can't speak for others, but I am not saying we should do it also .. I can handle being held responsible for our actions as a party.
All I ask is that the Democrats held responsible for theirs
Regardless of who says it, it is wrong .. but at the same time I do realize that the Dems will never take responsibility
Because for them to do so, they would first have to learn what responsibility meant

Right on the money and I believe America was wising up to this.Lott could save this situation if he has enough time left by removing himself and working in the background.Most Americans see this for what it is but the more the Republicans stir it at the moment the more distracted they will be setting America on course and the Demoncrats need a hammer because they have no plans to build they only want to destroy and cover their own a--!SMOKING MIRRORS!

To: JohnHuang2
I'll second that: God bless Dr. Walter Williams.

And you obviously have a problem coming to grips with reality.

That is exactly my point. Thansk for expressing it better than I. That no one is ever responsible for their actions lies at the heart of their political ideology. The only entity that should ever be responsible for anything is the government. And for that it must tax and grow
To: Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit
It is the Democrat party that was (and still is) the party of racism. DAnconia55 is correct.
Go back and learn your history. Remember, Arbeit Macht Frei!

Wonderfully written... and totally irrelevant.
Very few (maybe none) are calling for Lott to resign his Senate seat.
There's only one question: Is he qualified to lead the Senate Republicans in this most important time in our history?
The answer is clearly no.
All the rest is hot air and bombast.
Lott cannot lead us. Lott cannot lead us. Lott cannot lead us.
It's a simple fact. Try to grasp it.

Amen! The only thing I can add is that if Senator Lott does not understand this reality, then he is not smart enough to be SML.
