SDAI, the issue is Trent Lott.
The hypocrisy of the left, and the racist block voting they depend on is well established.
Trent Lott, with his own big mouth, started this.
As much as I like him personally, he screwed the pooch on this.
There are many things for which Strom Thurmond is praise worthy. The election of 1948 is not one of them.
And btw, Harry Truman is the guy whose leadership began the end of racist segregaion in the USA.
Trent may or may not survive this, but he has brought it on his self.
