Karen, Michelle Malkin may well be nationally syndicated and the daughter of Filipino immigrants, as you say, but the piece was a simple hatchet job. That's independent of the truth claims. As for what you've included here, it looks as if it's a quote from the 40s. Lott's problem was not really the Thurmond birthday dinner comment; just a momentary flap. His problem was that it fit with a lot of statements and his voting record in the 80s and 90s. Thick record. I don't see any reason, as I said to Hawk, to track down all the things the Dems and Reps have said over the years to see who can destroy more of the others politicians. That's hardly a serious issues. The genuinely serious issue here is the dirty, not-so-little secret, as I've said before, of the Republicans drawing on racist votes. The wink and a nod strategy. If we wish to argue about that, it would take some amount of posting and some permissions from FL. However, here's a short dose. 1. Jeff Sessions has used it extensively in his Alabama senate campaigns. 2. Jesse Helms used it extensively in his North Carolina senate campaigns. 3. The Republican candidate for governor in Georgia this year used several such symbols. 4. The Republicans customarily make visits to Bob Jones University to wink and nod on this one. The most recent and notorious was the Bush trip in 2000. 5. The slamming of John McCain in South Carolina in 2000. 6. The Willie Horton campaign. I could go on. Perhaps you see the point. If I don't post to you again before tomorrow, have a good holiday.
