Stephen Dinan reports in the Washington Times (12/19/2002) that Bill Clinton accused Lott of intentionally targeting white voters in his remark about Strom Thurmond.
Mr. Clinton told CNN outside a business luncheon that, "He just embarrassed them by saying in Washington what they do on the back roads every day." He believes that the apparent reason that the many Republican senators are angry is because Lott now has exposed their 'strategies.'
Clinton added, "They try to suppress black voting, they ran on the Confederate flag in Georgia and South Carolina, and from top to bottom the Republicans supported it." (What did Governor Bill Clinton do about the confederate flag that flew above the Arkansas statehose during his entire tenure as Governor?)
Marc Racicot shot back that Clinton "should know better." Racicot also stated that this was just another attempt by Clinton to try and mislead the American public to give himself a step up on the political ladder.
Racicot also stated that Bush is dedicated to improving the lives of minorites through education and home ownership policies.

All Lott was doing was praising a Senator who was always as straight forward in his pursuits, as Clinton has always been devious in his. The pity with Lott is that he panicked before the contrived hue and cry. The pity with Clinton is that he will say absolutely anything, at anytime, with no compunction whatsoever as to its truth or falsity, or who else it may injure.

Our first black prez is just trying to keep from losing any of the minority votes in the next election, thus the democrat campaign strategy for the DNC in 04...Hillary, is on her way!
"Despite the passing of nine months since President Bush took office, we are still treated to almost daily updates on the life of former President Bill Clinton. With near orgasmic pleasure, the Mainstream Media reports his activities in excruciating detail, engaging in a form of political necrophilia as they fawn over the corpse of a now dead and gone Administration. They litter the news with pop polls comparing a powerless former leader to the current President, as if the former still actually had any clout. They prop up as laudable an impeached, disbarred, scandalous miscreant whose legacy consists of selling access, selling pardons, selling technology to known proliferators, and, of course, being a great Stain Maker, but continually question the integrity of a man who has consistently remained true to his campaign promises. If former President Clinton were to pass gas, no doubt it would make the 11:00 p.m. news cycle; yet Heaven forbid the television networks interrupt their regularly scheduled programming for an important speech by the current President on the state of the War on Terrorism.
Despite the legendary monstrosity that took place on September 11, 2001, with thousands still unaccounted for and buildings still smoldering, pundits first condemn the President for acting too hastily, then condemn the President for not acting swiftly enough, and some condemn the President for acting at all. Were these folks born yesterday? Are they completely oblivious to the 20 years of terrorism we have faced, the logistical problems we are encountering, and the continued threat these creatures pose to our country?
Despite the well documented brutalities of the Taliban, where women are stripped of any humanity, girls undergo horrific sexual mutilation, mothers rushing their ailing children to the doctor are shot in the streets for being outside of their homes unaccompanied, men who don’t comply with any number of ridiculous dictates are crucified, tortured, or murdered outright, pundits still claim that we need to "understand" the terrorists. What’s to "understand," other than these vile creatures are some of the most despicable wastes of flesh ever to walk the earth, that they pose a grave threat to the United States which must be eliminated, and that millions of Afghans are praying for liberation from their suffering? We’re supposed to patiently "understand" barbarism of this magnitude, but whip ourselves into a wild frenzy over a frivolous joke about pubic hair on a can of soda.
Fascinating."
***There's more, but this is the heart of the article.
What's to understand? Patty Murray already 'splained to us they hate us because we aren't building schools and playgrounds like Osama The Benevolent is.
Bill, direct your complaint to Fritz Hollings, he's the one who raised to Confederate Flag over South Carolina.
