Discarded doesn't count. Trent Lott today announced that his earlier statement seemingly supporting segregationist policies was misguided, and that he was wrongfully assumed to have "embraced the discarded policies of the past." Well, as a Jew, I'd like to bring up Hitlerism, which was more than discarded, it was defeated. And yet, if anyone referred to it as "a defeated policy of the past," as a retraction for having seemingly supported it, I can't think of a single person who'd let him have a pass.
