Mark Levin makes the case against selective moral outrage over Lott's remark, and does a good job of documenting how unfair the coverage has been. It doesn't excuse Lott, but it does show that we're treating him far more critically than we have former KKK members who are Democrats in the Senate today. They have a far worse history of racism than Lott, but nobody is demanding their scalps. Lott should resign because this episode is harming his party and his president, but let's not ignore the fact that Republicans are being harder on him than the Democrats have been on Robert Byrd, who was President Pro Tem of the Senate, Fritz Hollings and Zell Miller.
