Video Shows Hypocrisy of Obama Reaction to Reid Comments vs. Reaction to Geraldine Ferraro in 2008

Here is outstanding video once again from Naked Emperor News (via Breitbart.tv) that documents the reaction of the Obama Campaign and the media to comments made by Clinton supporter, and former Democrat VP Candidate Geraldine Ferraro back in 2008. Ferraro was caught up in a media firestorm when she suggested that Obama would not be in the position he was in if he was a "white male" or a "white woman." That simple statement drew outrage from both the media and the Obama people.

Now, when Sen. Harry Reid makes far more specific racial remarks, they say it doesn't matter. The bottom line is that the Democrats use race to their advantage politically when it suits them. If a Republican had made the same comments as Reid, they would be reacting the way they did against Geraldine Ferraro.

The strange thing about Reid’s comments is that they aren’t offensive towards Obama. They’re a slam against people who ARE “dark-skinned” with a “negro dialect”.

Gerladine wasn't in a position to hand Zero a Health Care bill prior to the State of the Union speech.

After Health Care is passed, Reid is toast, and will most likely pull a "Dodd" and announce he won't run for re-election.

His son is running for Gov.of Nevada and Harry running will hurt alot. If Harry announces he ain’t running how many Democratic Senators bolt on Health Care?
