Trent Lott was not a Dixiecrat. How do you know? Because he was 7 years old when the Dixiecrats folded and he didn't become political active for decades after that. And even if he wasn't, comments he has made suggest that he is in sympathy with them. At a birthday party for a 100 year old man who had run for president many years before, Trent Lott basically said "it would have been good if you have won", and so that supposedly makes Lott a racist... Apparently, 54 years later, Trent Lott has not gotten over the defeat of the Dixiecrats. My guess is that 54 years later he doesn't remember the defeat of the Dixiecrats. He probably wasn't that politically aware at 7. In any case Trent Lott got booted out of his leadership position over his comments. Byrd who is known to have been a KKK member, never took a serious hit for it from his own party. Tim
