While personally I don't think its a big deal, I just wish it was fair on both sides.

Do you have any of his statements made in the last couple of years to back that up? I already think of him as an old crank, but I'm under the impression that, like Strom Thurmond, and UN-like Trent Lott, he shed his racist past long ago.
As to the issue of fairness, the vast majority of our racist Democrats left our Party back in the sixties. Now if Hillary had said something racist, and didn't apologize, and her statement was backed up by a lifetime of other comments and support of racist policy, then maybe you'd have a case. But she doesn't, and you don't.
