REPUBLICAN SENATE MAJORITY LEADER:
RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IS OK
----------
Has Party Backing

I hope everybody likes that soundbite. Because we can "explain" till we're blue in the face, but if we keep defending Lott, we're gonna be hearing it for a lonnnnnnnnnng time.

I say it's not worth losing the whole Republican agenda over him, no matter what other high-minded motives we might have.

Lott expresses regret for remarks; court filing from 1981 surfaces

Ok, then let's surrender. Let's just cower in the corner whenever these race-baiters roll out their usual tactics. AP reports tonight about the Bob Jones case, in which Lott filed an amicus brief in support of Jones. Well, so too did Ronald Reagan. Bob Herbert just happens to write in his column that Reagan was a "state's rightest" too. We're all racists in the GOP. Let's just piss in our pants and cut our losses. ... It's time to stand up and take this on. Lott's not the issue. If he leaves, it will be some other issue involving some other Republican. It's time to pin the segregation tag on the party that practiced it. Don't let your anger at Lott cloud your thinking.

Hey moron.

Justice Rehnquist wrote a dissent that was in agreement with Lott's brief.

Should we get Rehnquist in the on deck circle for the plank?
