I agree with you Bray, and I told Tony Snow as much this morning when I emailed him. This is much ado about nothing.

The dems have NO ISSUES so they have tried to hop aboard this freight train - racism - so what else is new.

The dems are afraid they are losing the black vote and this was one way to try to get it back. It won't work - just like all the other rhetoric didn't work.

I told Tony I was sick of hearing about this stuff and it was up to the "fair and balanced" news to put it to rest!!

Here's a couple for you. If Thurmond had been elected, Truman would have never gotten the chance to "allow" the French to return to their colonies in Indo-China - hence, NO VIETNAM WAR.

Is anyone opposed to a timeline with no Vietnam war?

Al Gore is. He said so the other day.

Oh, yes, if Thurmond had been elected, Truman would have never gotten the chance to re-impose the Japanese puppet government on the Korean people. The Nationalists would not have fled North with Kim Il Sung and there would have been NO KOREAN WAR.

Is anyone opposed to a timeline without the Korean War?

Al Gore, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and a host of other mind-numbed knee-jerk Liberals who failed to stay awake in History 101 really do believe that the wicked Truman regime was the best America could do at the time.

Then, too, how about that order Truman signed in 1947 to come up with a "list of subversives" in the Army? If he had not been elected in 1948, nothing would have come of it. There would have been no Army/McCarthy Hearings, no Tailgunner Joe with yet other "lists" of Commies, pinkos and crypto-fascists!

Through the passage of time Liberals could have backed out of their relationship with the Stalinist conspiracy, and might even have been rehabilitated into honest, God-fearing Americans.

All of that would have been possible without Harry Truman in the picture. You could elect a Wallace, a Thurmond, or, lo and behold, Tom Dewey, in 1948 and the world would have been much better in many respects.

The most hated elected official has always been Jesse Helms. Rarely did Thurmond's name come up when it came to vilifying republicans.

For the most part FNC has deliberately misrepresented the entire Trent Lott comments with Brit Hume going so far as to say that Lott said things would have been better if SEGREGATIONIST Strom Thurmond had been elected president. Lott never uttered any such words.....

I have lost all respect for Brit Hume and just about all the rest of the yahoos on FNC.

Sen. Lott put this issue to rest with his press conference yesterday. Once he goes on BET (segregated TV), and blacks see how buddy-buddy Robert Johnson (founder of BET) is with Trent Lott, this will quiet down the civil rights groups. Blacks have a lot of respect for Mr. Johnson, much more than Jesse, Al, and Queasy, the three stooges of civil rights. I think this incident is actually going to strengthen Trent Lott's leadership position. His apology without ANY excuse yesterday was exactly what he needed to do. I have more respect for him now than before all this went down.

>It will take courage and finesse, but this would be a better country without racists on either side.

I notice that no
Republicans will attack
the pop culture cult

of political
correctness. Republicans
also won't attack

the real racism
built into the "civil rights"
spiel. Republicans

act like guilty fools
rather than proud crusaders.
Our guys should be fierce!

...the Rat’s most hated man in the Senate

This is probably the single biggest mistake in your post.

You haven't noticed that the Dems want Lott to remain as Majority Leader. This is why Daschle initially downplayed Lott's gaffe--and joined the feeding frenzy only when Maxine Waters bullied him into attacking Lott.

Daschle wants the weakest possible Majority Leader. And the only thing weaker than a Trent Lott is a discredited Trent Lott.
