Lt Colonel Allen West, great American and candidate for Congress (and my candidate for President 2012) responded here: "Friends, attached is my response to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's comments, which I consider incredibly vile".
"The revelation of Senator Harry Reid's comments referencing "negro talk" is just indicative of the true sentiment elitist liberals, and indeed the Democratic party, have toward black Americans. The history of the Democrat party is one of slavery, secession, segregation, and now socialism. It is this new aged socialism born from the Johnson Great Society programs that have castigated blacks as victims needing government dependency. One need only to look upon the city of Detroit to ascertain what liberal social welfare policies have produced for the inner city.....the new plantation for black Americans. ...
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Biden issued a statement Wednesday afternoon, saying: "I deeply regret any offense my remark in the New York Observer might have caused anyone. That was not my intent and I expressed that to Sen. Obama."
“light-skinned” appearance and speaking patterns “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

unless he wanted to have one...says it all, no? I would say Obama has the bigger race issue.
Of course, if Dick Cheney had said it... (you know the rest)
Perfectly said. . .and there is a history to document and just the 'comments' alone; would fill a volume or two.
Another one from Bill Clinton (who could fill his own book with special mention to Hillary for her verbal asides, as well)on 'Drudge':
Bill Clinton on Obama: 'A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee'...
The bigger the log in their eye. . .the worse these people get.
Good read. Also checked out your candidate, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West (US Army, Retired). Reading his about page, he looks quite impressive. http://allenwestforcongress.com/about/
Sounds like the kind of person we need a whole lot of in Washington.
Dan Riehl comments: “Thank God Reid isn’t a Republican, or he’d be being savaged as a racist. We all know that’s not true. They aren’t racists. They simply don’t believe blacks can be successful without being helped by a white person. That isn’t racism, silly. It’s compassion, or so we’re told.”
