Reply #14: Wrong on both points- [View All]

Byrd *has* apologized repeatedly and continues to attempt to atone for his past wrongs.

And as far as being different from Lott, Lott was slammed for opining in 2002 that we "wouldn't have all these problems" if Thurmond had been elected president -on a pro-segregationist platform- in 1948.

Lott had made the same comment in 1980.

Lott's votes against busing, affirmative action and a host of other issues, along with his own segregated history, had already raised questions about his views on race.

Waaaay different than Byrd.
