George does his best for Harry ping to Today show list.

A double standard of humongous proportions. If he had an R by his name he would be being prosecuted in a court of law for those words.

Saying it was supposed to be private is putting the best face on it? To me, that makes it worse. We have a right to know what these guys are actually thinking.

The apology does not remove the sentiment that escaped his mouth!

President Obama responded, “Yasur, Massa Reid, us colored folk show nuff do ‘preciate dat nice new free health care da gubmint be gibbin’ us. Praise da Lawd, we gots us Massa Harry in dat Senate, alookin’ outs for da poor simple colored folk!.”

Keeping it private could hurt sales.

I notice that FoxNews and FNS seem to be ignoring one of the other incendiary quotes, the one from Bill Clinton:

Bill Clinton apparently remarked to Ted Kennedy that (Page 218): "Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee."

"Appearing on GMA today, Steph stressed that Reid's remarks about then-candidate Obama being "light-skinned" and having no "negro dialect" were supposed to be "private." "

All those recordings of Mark Furman (O.J. trial) using the N-word were supposed to have been private also...but they weren't.

This is the 21st century, under democrat rule...nothing is private or sacred to these people anymore.

So was Earl Butts’ joke

[lonestar]

Complimenting Obama for having “light skin” and “no dialect unless he wants one,” is derogatory to all Blacks with dark-skin and/or dialects.

Tim Kaine answered Chris Wallace that “the context” made it clear that Reed was saying something positive. I hadn’t read the full excerpt before , but the context is what is damning. I’ve had black people describe other blacks to me as “light-skinned” as an identification , like “has freckles,” not racial at all as far as I’m concerned. But Reed’s comments were in the context of whether America was ready to elect a black man President, yes if he were “light-skinned” rather than dark skinned, and didn’t speak in “Negro dialect” except when he wanted to.

[tiredoflaundry]

IIRC so was “macaca” (sp).

And when people asked Biden about saying, of Obama, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American presidential candidate who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man,” Biden claimed his words were, of course, “taken out out context”.

[SE Mom]

Oh man- doesn’t George understand that makes it even WORSE? This is how he thinks and speaks in private revealing his true beliefs...

Stephie just made Reid look like a real bigot.

Maybe that was the intent?

Hey Steffie,

How about Sarah Palin’s FAMILY??? Private? No?

[Ukiapah Heep]

That would make him a bitter clinger.

Years ago, there was a Republican Governor of AZ who while on a camping trip was quoted as making a derogatory comment comparing fog to rape. The media went crazy. He wasn't reelected.

[rod1]

Ah yes. In fact in private is when the facade is not there.

It is the real Harry Reid. and now we see him in all his “glory”.

thank for the clarification from Georgie Clintanopolis.

Stuffitupyourass also had to correct Commodore Bozo when he slipped up and said he was a Muslim.
