That is hardly blaming the messenger. Grotesquely distorting the context, and pushing that distortion is a grotesque crime upon the public discourse.

Oh, And BTW if you really believe that Lott was actively endorsing Segragation at Stroms Birthday party, You should be posting at DU.

Trent should be ousted because he has become an embarrassment to the Republican Party and he endorsed a political platform that was antiquated in 1948 in the year 2002. From my viewpoint the best thing that could happen for the Democrats is for Trent to hang on and become the first major issue of the 2004 campaign.

I don't believe Lott was endorsing segregation, but to not know that such was the implication of his comments regarding the Dixiecrats 1948 platform and Strom's candidacy, makes the man incredibly stupid. Also, he has been a terrible majority/minority leader for the Republicans, unable to accomplish anything.

I say let him go and we'll win the special election for his seat. I'm willing to bet that if he stays as majority leader, he will be completely ineffective, or worse, will actively push leftist bills to suck up to the democrats.

In the worst case scenario, we lose the senate and America spends the next two years watching Daschle and Co. be obstructionists and push far-left agendas, which will result in a big win in 2004, both for President Bush, and for a larger majority in the Senate.
