Trent Lott: Victim of a Hate Crime
Patrick J. BuchananThe equally odious Buchanan vastly improved the party by leaving it.
Lott has vastly improved the Republican leadership by stepping down.
Once panicky conservatives had turned against Lott, the Left muffled its personal criticism of the senator. Bill Clinton, in New York last Wednesday while attending an event for the European Travel Commission, signaled what was afoot. "From top to bottom," he said, Republicans support what Lott supports. "They've tried to suppress black voting," said the former president, "they've run on the Confederate flag in Georgia and South Carolina . . . So, I don't see what they're jumping on Trent Lott about."
