[Secret Agent Man]

Should have finished the job.

[Kaslin]

The rat’s have standards? Oh yeah very, very, very low standards

[Kaslin]

Well what do you expect from that hypocrite?

[SoFloFreeper]

Miguel Estrada.

Janice Rogers Brown.

Two conservative judicial candidates....one hispanic, one black. Harry Reid the bigot opposed both.

[Kaslin]

You hit the nail square on the head.

[Kaslin]

Isn’t Trump the one who is demonizing his opponents?

[Organic Panic]

Harry Reid knows how stupid a majority of voters are. If democrats tell them it was mean old republicans that fought to keep the black citizen down with segregation and Jim Crow laws idiot democrats will believe it.

When confronted by facts then there was a magical time when all the democrats saw the light and the republicans were really the racist party.

Reid knows who runs the public schools.

[Crucial]

The Left is throwing a hissy fit.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), because of his determination to stop a lame-duck vote on a Supreme Court nominee, is worse than a segregationist who tried to stop the Civil Rights Act.

It's not nice to speak ill of the dead, Mr. Reid:

"Sheets" Byrd

Civil Rights Act of 1964

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964

Northern Democrats: 45–1 (only DEMOCRAT Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)

On the morning of June 10, 1964, Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) completed a filibustering address that he had begun 14 hours and 13 minutes earlier opposing the legislation. Until then, the measure had occupied the Senate for 57 working days, including six Saturdays. A day earlier, Democratic Whip Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, the bill's manager, concluded he had the 67 votes required at that time to end the debate and end the filibuster. With six wavering senators providing a four-vote victory margin, the final tally stood at 71 to 29. Never in history had the Senate been able to muster enough votes to cut off a filibuster on a civil rights bill. And only once in the 37 years since 1927 had it agreed to cloture for any measure.

In other words - obstructing Obama is acting like the dems did and still do.

Got it, Dingy.

[Wallace T.]

While, unlike Robert Byrd, Reid is not an ex-Klansman, he is a member of a faith, Mormonism, which barred blacks from the priesthood until 1978.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Shut up Dingy, you ass. Get your ass in there and start packing up your office. You’re gone ahole.

[Kaslin]

It sure was

[Constitutional Patriot]

Would someone please kick his ass again and tell him to STFU?!?!

[Kaslin]

Before you mouth of on Senator Tim Scott make sure he is in in the Judiciary Committee. He is not

[DAC21]

Harry Reid, one eyed, senial, drooling clown. Was I too mean? I know, Reid couldn’t come up with his list of prescriptions, let alone his brand of his diapers without his staff. Maybe we should expose his left of Karl Marx staff as they will be looking for jobs next year. They should rot in hell.

[mrsmith]

Reid isn’t on the Judiciary Committee, and he can play the race card - but Scott has to be on the Judiciary to rebuke him?

[Windflier]

“The American people couldn’t understand that: they truly think that Republicans are anti-civil rights.”

Perceptions and attitudes are shifting more than you may be aware of.

I sometimes lurk at a site where lots of millenials and Gen-Xers post. The commentary at that place runs overwhelmingly pro-America and anti-lib.

You think Freepers are tough on libs? You ain’t seen nuthin til you read the comments of those young folks. You can’t even re-post most of it here.

Trust me when I tell you that most Americans are sick to death of the liberals always throwing the race card.
