Trent Lott's daughter attends Klan rally.

Okay, not exactly, but as close to it as fartin’ is to shittin’.

It was a pro-segregation (what a time-warp!) press conference organized by white supremacist fuckknuckle Richard Barrett.

What could be her motivation for this?

I’d like to give her the benefit of the doubt and think that she’s trying to sabotage her father’s career and monkey-wrench the Republican party. What else could come of appearing to lend support to someone who says "With Republicans or Democrats, we’ll get highways and Social Security and veterans’ benefits. Except with the Republicans, we’re not supposed to get integration to go along with it. "?

This loon still has “cullud people” and “commies” under his bed!

Unbelieveable. Wonder if this will hit the national press anytime soon?

Amazing. Wonder what media coverage this will get.

It is amazing if it is true. I googled on “Tyler Lott Armstrong” and found a birth announcement and a flim credits page. There are no other cites that I can find.

I find it hard to believe that this would go unnoticed by the press given the mess Lott is in now. Untill I see it reported by a source that I trust I’m going to take it with a grain of salt.

If it is true then Lott is really screwed.

You should have googled Lott’s biography, Slee:

http://lott.senate.gov/leader/bio.html

A sensible attitude-- I’ve already sent off a plea to the Mikkelson’s. “Help me www.snopes.com… you’re my only hope…”

But what a birth-announcement!

Upon further examination, this may not withstand scrutiny. Look at the “Background” description at the bottom of that page, which states as follows:

So basically, Barrett just showed up and hijacked a press conference held by Lott’s press secretary. The involvement of Lott’s daughter is rather less than clear in this, and I can’t imagine that she would be crazy enough to show up with this gatecrasher to criticize her father as being too soft on the darkies.

Barring further evidence, I ain’t buying it.

Minty,

I am glad that you ain’t buying it. Until there is a credible source it is, IMHO, a non story.

[slight hijack] At the same time I have a question. In your first response to my post you said that I should have googled Lotts biography. Unless I am reading your post incorrectly it seems that you think that I didn’t believe that Lotts daughter was involved. I never said or implied that. I stated that when I googled I could not find a valid source that would back up the story cited in the OP. I never claimed that the woman in question was not Lotts daughter. I questioned whether the original cite was valid.

Am I missing something?[/slight hijack]

For what it’s worth, I think that if that “press conference” really happened, the Jackson, MS paper would have been all over it–

but they don’t even mention it.
and, fwiw, I don’t think this would have even been noticed without a razor-thin republican majority in the Senate.

Dunno how I missed that one, Minty.

That fits with what reportage is out there.

Apparently Fuckknuckle was easy to ignore-- I wonder if anyone even stuck around to listen?

I love their editorial cartoon about it though

Slee, I thought you mean you couldn’t find “Tyler Lott Armstrong” in your Google search. I was just confirming that, indeed, he has a daughter named Tyler. No snottiness intended, and hopefully none implied.

]Minty,

No harm done. Your post just confused me and I wanted clarification. All is well.

Anyway, I think the general belief is that the story is a bunch of BS.

On to really important issues like “Are you a Breast man or a Butt man” :slight_smile:

Slee

Ayuh… and I would be tickled pink if a mod would lock it down to spare me any further embar… uh, I mean… to avoid furthering a baseless rumour. Yeah.

We could use this existing topic to discuss other important issues, and help conserve topics in the process!

Hear, hear. Save a hamster, recycle threads!

Well, I’m a butt man, myself. :smiley:

I believe that breasts and butts can coexist peacefully and harmoniously in the nation’s schools, theatres, and swimming pools. ESPECIALLY the swimming pools.

I actually think that it would be best to keep breasts and butts separate, but equal.

:d&r:

Rumor has it that Lot’s wife may have turned into a pillar of salt. What are you implying?:wink:
