I did not see any comments of Senator Lott suggesting support for Jim Crow. Senator Lott stated clearly that is not what he intended in any comments he made. But non thinking liars at heart will believe what they will. And there is not comparison between a direct comment offending the group addressed and a comment interpreted by others to have some meaning that the author states clearly is wrong. I clearly see the difference of no offense whatsoever by poorly chosen words and a minor inadvertent offense of stupidly pre chosen words. But then again clinton is the stupidest that ever was. A minor inadvertent offense is worse than no offense whatsoever.

Latest Clinton Gaffe Excused As Metaphor WASHINGTON (Dec. 20) - Former President Bill Clinton last night compared the people of Israel to "greedy pawn shop owners" and the Palestinian people to "dirty camel jockeys" as peace talks broke down. He said both sides were so addicted to quarrelling that they had spurned the chance of peace. "I spent an enormous amount of time trying to help the people in these lands get over 6000 years of religious fights," Mr Clinton told a group of assembled dignitaries from the Democratic National Committee. Clinton's remarks about the two sides in the Middle East peace process acting like greedy barbarians drew quick and sharp criticism from some leaders in the Middle East last night, but were generally considered a metaphor by most major U.S. media outlets. Clinton later apologized for the "tone" of his remarks. - BB
