So is Jesse Jackson an anti-Semite for for the taste-poor things he's
said over the years?  The fire's hot!  Let's get EVERYONE up on the
spit.

If Lott had said, "God bless Strom!  We needed more racists like him!",
that would be pretty bad.  Or even if he'd said "the country would have
been better off if Thurmond had been eleced *because* he ran on a
segregation forever platform."  But that's not the case.  Lott's just
trying to make the old geezer feel good as he turns 100.  Saying nice
things about him.  Whoop dee doo.  Lott is not a clever speaker.  He's
a blunt axe.  He's always saying stoopid shit.  It doen't male him a
racist.  Just a dumnass.

Hell, Jesse's said TONS more inflammatory stuff than Lott.  And Jesse
IS a word craftsman.  I'd be more inclined to hold Jackson to the
literal disection of his statements than I would Lott.
