Should McCain be proud of heritage in Carroll County?
The Clarion-Ledger • April 9, 2008
Carroll County in Mississippi has been from its inception a hotbed of Klan activity, now if Sen. John McCain's great-grandfather was once a sheriff there, what does that say? Apples don't fall far from the tree!

It's true that apples don't fall far from the tree, which is the point of Senator McCain's "Service to America Tour." His father and grandfather (both distinguished admirals), his teachers and coaches, the Annapolis Naval Academy, these people and institutions shaped John McCain. His headstrong, stubborn, maverick nature pursues not glory for himself, but something greater than self, service to his country.
Mr. Lambus is a Jackson activist. Here are tastes of his other letters-to-the-editor.
Al Gore wouldn't take terrorist bait
The Clarion-Ledger • Nov 30, 2003
Real presidents of the United States of America wouldn't have taken the bait the terrorists dangled on Sept. 11, 2001. Bill Clinton or Al Gore would have assessed the impact on the American economy and the cost in lives. One can't fight terrorism conventionally; it has to be covert. Al Gore is the real president. One can now see what a usurper can cause!

Frank Melton isn’t making Jackson look bad. Jackson is looking bad because of the actions of a bunch of worthless, young black males committing crimes. You and your Jackson Free Press need to stop wasting ink on a damn n----r who wants to sue Melton. Why waste thousands of dollars worth of ink on a damn n----r who ain’t worth 50 cents?
Attorney General Jim Hood knows he needs the black vote to attain his political aspirations so he had better lay off Frank. I don’t understand how you could be against a man trying to clean up and rescue a city from the grips of a bunch of worthless, no good, drain-on-society black males.
If I were mayor, I’d have their asses hanging from every tree limb on the lawn at City Hall. I am 59 years old, and like the majority of older black citizens of Jackson and across this country, I hate young black males because they do not appreciate what has been done (the civil rights struggle) for them. All black people should exhibit dignity because God has truly been on our side.
They (young blacks) look like fools cursing and creeping across concert stages performing that damn rap music, and the kids cannot read but can recall the stupid lyrics of the so-called music or song(s).
Jackson needs Frank Melton. We can do without Faye Peterson, Kamikaze, David Banner, the majority of City Council, and you, if you persist in criticizing a good man.
George Lambus, Jackson

you can't judge everyone on the left by this loony
Certainly true. My criticism is the sentiment not the side. It is another example of this. It is just so ridiculous to play the race card just because Senator McCain visits his roots in Mississippi. Most of us in Mississippi are tired of that. I'm sure many on the left think this guy is a loon (to use your word) as well. I hope they share our opinion that his statement was loony, too.
