The comparison being made by some GOPers is ridiculous grandstanding.
Lott said the country would be better off if we had a Segregationist president.
Reid said the country might accept a light-skinned black man who didn't talk black.
Where's the equivalency?
(In fact Obama's mixed race and non-"black" mannerisms were the subject of mainstream news stories. Reid used dumb language, (The word "Negro" is pretty 1950s) but he did not suggest blacks shouldn't be forced into separate schools and not served in restaurants, as Lott did.
This is the equivalent of comparing a scratch to a severed neck.

OK, this whole debacle is idiotic. Step away from your favorite political flavor and look at what's going on for a moment.
The Republicans want YOU to believe that wishing that a racist, er...I mean segregationist President was in office in order to eliminate all the "problems" is equivalent to a poor choice of words, bordering on racist, used IN SUPPORT of a candidate in the early stages of his bid to become the first African American President.
Hmmm... I don't see the similarity and apologies go a long way if they're sincere.
Even when a liberal does something wrong you still can't recognize it.
