Read it again.

As any educated English speaker knows, "Segregation Forever" modifies 
"Strom Thurmond".  The sytax, as I used it, is the recognized method of 
communicating a nickname or, in this case, a phrase so commonly 
associated with the person that it might as well be the person's 
nickname.

I never claimed that Lott used those words, but it's incontrovertible 
that "Segregation Forever" was irrevokably synonymous with Thurmond's 
campaign in 1948 --- which Lott (twice) said we'd be better off if 
Thurmond had won.

You really should learn to not be so literal; it makes you look like a 
fool.
