Update: Sean Hannity Still Doesn't Get It
In my previous post, I called upon people to e-mail Hannity at hannity@foxnews.com and let him know that Lott lied to him in his interview regarding the extent of his involvement with the racist Council of Conservative Citizens. Hannity apparently hasn't received the message because on his radio show, he described his thoughts about his interview with Lott: "I believed him to be sincere." Please write Hannity and tell him he is wrong and that Lott lied to him. E-mail Hannity and tell him that Lott wasn't sincere. Give the following web addresses for evidence:

It's important.

Addendum: Hannity’s lame “double standard” argument. It’s great that when I check Sitemeter, that many of the Google searches that lead to this site are by people who are looking for information on Robert Byrd, William Fulbright, Donna Brazile's "white boys" comment, and the term “white nigger.” I would guess that many of them are buying the argument by Hannity and Limbaugh that the media scrutiny regarding Lott’s statement reflects a double standard because the Democrats have recently done things just as bad. As I recently pointed out, these arguments are specious. Today, Joe Conason also touched upon this in his blog for Salon (which is another good reason to get Salon Premium). Hannity is still pounding on how Bill Clinton’s recent praise for William Fulbright is morally similar to Lott’s comments on Strom’s presidential candidacy. Wrong. It would only be analogous if Clinton had cited Fulbright’s embrace of the notorious Southern Manifesto and said that America would have been better off if the Southern Manifesto had been implemented. Anyone who can’t tell the difference is morally obtuse.
