My fault on that. I did read that but I was trying to reconvey that there is a double standard in the media. The media CHOOSES to ignore that Senator Byrd used the n word over a year ago 3 times on Larry King.

Liberty I understand that. My whole point is that with democrats and the media, there is no level playing field. I agree Lotts comments were stupid but my whole argument is why havnt conservatives pointed out the racist remarks and actions of the democrat party of late?

>>I thought you would at least defend him on this.
>I do not defend stupidity. What he said was
>stupid! He is a public figure accustomed to public

Again, yes it was stupid but politicians make stupid remarks constantly just as I am sure you have. He should not have his political career ruined over it!

C'mon Liberty! I can see that! It just if we do not fight on this one, then democrats will be pushing us around with the help of the liberal media. When will it end?! What is it going to take for republicans to finally stand up to them and throw their mistakes in their face!!!

>>I am tired of this double standard where democrats

True! No argument here!

Surely your not rooting for the media on this are you???!!!
