Trent Lott, That Is Latin For Racist Asshole

Trent Lott can not stop being racist any more than he can stop being a Christian. Period. That is how fundamental his racist worldview is to him. He is beyond reform. He can only be isolated and discarded. He can not be expected to change.

After Hillary got elected Senator, this insect went on to say that she might now get into the Senate if she does not get struck by lightning before that. This guy is sick as they come. He should be declared physically untouchable. A law to that effect should be passed in the land.

The fact to notice is not that he is a hard core racist, but that he is at the heart of the leadership of the Republican Party. His leadership of the Republican Party makes that party the modern day Ku Klux Klan. Why can't you find someone else to lead you, unless you quietly agree with him in his fundamentally racist worldview?

"His comments last week were not helpful," Lott added, alluding to Bush's remark — repeated twice last week — that those who deride the bill as amnesty are trying to frighten Americans. ........ Democrats are "simply not going to get anywhere trying to stuff the minority," said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the GOP leader.

Lott, Reagan and Republican Racism | TIME the GOP's wrongheadedness about race goes way beyond Lott and infects their entire party. The sad truth is that many Republican leaders remain in a massive state of denial about the party's four-decade-long addiction to race-baiting. They won't make any headway with blacks by bashing Lott if they persist in giving Ronald Reagan a pass for his racial policies. ....... The same could be said, of course, about such Republican heroes as, Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon or George Bush the elder, all of whom used coded racial messages to lure disaffected blue collar and Southern white voters away from the Democrats. Yet it's with Reagan, who set a standard for exploiting white anger and resentment rarely seen since George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door ........ As a young congressman, Lott was among those who urged Reagan to deliver his first major campaign speech in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three civil rights workers were murdered in one of the 1960s' ugliest cases of racist violence. It was a ringing declaration of his support for "states' rights" — a code word for resistance to black advances clearly understood by white Southern voters. ......... his filing of a brief arguing that BJU should get the exemption despite its racist ban on interracial dating ...... the Gipper's deep personal involvement. ....... Two years later the U.S. Supreme Court in a resounding 8-to-1 decision ruled that Reagan was dead wrong and reinstated the IRS's power to deny BJU's exemption.
