Bigots

From Chris at After School Snack, the senators who refused to sign the apology for the lynchings that took place in this country.

* Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.)
* Richard Shelby (R-Ala.)
* Mel Martinez (R-Fl.)
* Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.)
* Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.)
* Thad Cochran (R-Miss.)
* Trent Lott (R-Miss.)
* Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.)
* James Inhofe (R-Ok.)
* Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.)
* John Cornyn (R-Tx.)
* Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tx.)
* John Warner (R-Va.)

These people should be held up as the bigots they are. How dare they refuse to acknowledge and apologize on behalf of this nation for some of the worst atricities ever committed in this land. This isn't just some symbolic bullshit. Over 200 hundred bills have been put forth regarding this issue since the Reconstruction and southern senators have voted them down each time. Notice they're all Repubs and notice where they're from. And who said Trent Lott isn't a racist anymore? Motherfuckers.

Leave me to be fair. 38 of 45 Dems signed. When I find the seven Dems who didn't and find out why, I'll lump 'em in with this group too.

Thanks to Granny we add:

Kent Conrad (D-ND)

To our list of bigots.
