Anyone doubting the fallout of Lott’s statements need only read Bob Herbert’s column in today’s New York Times. Herbert asserts that Lott is endemic of the GOP, which he claims to be a party of racism. Lott’s continued presence as Majority Leader will give cover for this kind of race-baiting. Better to send Lott to pasture and to reaffirm the GOP as the party of Lincoln, and let the Democrats explain why they remain the party of Cynthia McKinney.
Better to send Lott to pasture?
If you ask me, and of course no one is really, this kind of roll-over thinking is what’s really "endemic of the GOP," which, I might add, really did win big last month.
Are the America people, therefore, racist, too?
Come on, guys, have some blood and guts!
