Not sure how any of that changes the facts random thoughts Send a noteboard - 11/01/2010 10:53:49 PM
Why assume Lott was referring to segregation we he said it? Segregation was an issue at the time but so the creation of all the social programs and rapid growth of the federal government. The fact that so many people focus on his stance on that issue today doesn't mean it is the only issue of importance.

Still though do you actually believe that a if a republican had said what Reid said he would get a pass? You shouldn't because them democrats themselves are saying that Reid's stance on social programs is why they are OK with it. If McCain had said the same thing would he get a pass? Would Palin? Hell would Steele even get a pass?

Whatever Lott said it doesn't change the fact the black leadership is openly saying that support of their political agenda is proof of racial tolerance and opposing it makes you suspect. I guess you call it extortion instead of double standard but that seems harsh to me. Still boils down to support the social agenda or risk being branded a bigot.
