“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. The Ku Klux Klan was birthed by...

Here is video of an NAACP representative on Fox News today where he defended Sen. Harry Reid as a "champion for Civil Rights." This despite comments by Reid were revealed in a new book where he said Barack Obama could be accepted by the American people because he is "light-skinned" and because he has "no Negro Dialect" unless he wants to have one. Reid made the remarks privately during the 2008 Campaign. The NAACP Rep. said that Reid's words were "awkward, but not "offensive." "The way he said it was quite awkward, but nonetheless, not offensive. That what he said...

Harry Reid's racist comments involving Obama are only the latest in a long line of racism from the Democrats. Though the "conventional" wisdom is that the GOP is the racist party made up of old, white, Christian men exclusively, a quick examination of some pretty prominent Democrats both past and present convincingly affirms that the Democrats don't only harbor racists in their party—they all-out condone them. Of course, this is totally at odds with the "conventional" wisdom because the liberal media covers it up so heavily.

Harry Reid is the shame of the Senate. And it hard not to bathe in schadenfreude at the hammering he is now getting over an interview he gave to John Heilemann and Mark Haperin during 2008 for their new book Game Change in which he enthused that Barack Obama was electable because he was “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” But it is also hard not to be disgusted by the politically correct sanctimony of Republicans like the RNC’s Michael Steele who are acting as if they just caught the Nevada senator in...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) apologized today for referring to President Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect" in private conversations during the 2008 presidential campaign. "I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words," said Reid in a statement. "I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments." The Senate Majority Leader was officially neutral in the primary fight between Obama and then Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.). Reid's remarks about Obama were revealed in "Game Change", a book detailing the 2008 race penned by Time's Mark...

It may not have been PC, but the majority leader may simply have been honest about how voters react to skin color.CNN is aflutter. Bloggers are calling it a "big-time" mistake. Newspapers describe the "racially tinged" remarks as "sensational." What is this "juicy revelation"? Apparently, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid privately told two journalists in 2008 that Obama was more electable because he's "light-skinned" and lacked a "Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." With the publication of Reid's impolitic quote in the new book Game Change, journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin have landed a PR coup. By...

I love my family on Facebook. My page is not one of those phony facebook pages, where you don't hear back from the public figure who owns the page - I get down and dirty with my "peeps" from time to time. But although I don't always have the time to speak as much as I want, I love hearing the opinions of others. It's not my opinion that matters most - it's actually your own. So, I thought I would share some of what others are saying about the situation with Harry Reid's comments about Barack Obama speaking "negro...
