Last night Jon Stewart played a blood-curdling clip from a Thurmond 1948 speech, so evidently it's available somewhere. It was a devastating demolition job on Lott.
Chances are it will be on his web site before too long: http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/thedailyshowwithjonstewart/ mbs I finally had Clemson University's "Strom Thurmond Institute" (gag!) fax me a copy from their special collections area. I'd like to get a better feel for what Trent Lott is waxing nostalgic for -- the States Rights Party platform of 1948 (on SmokingGun.com) was singularly opposed to integration and interested in nothing else.
