Video: Kaine: Reid's remarks were contextually 'positive'
Washington Times-Water Cooler ^ | 1/10/10 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 01/10/2010 12:20:55 PM PST by paltz

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine defended Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D - NV) on Fox News Sunday (video below) over controversial comments Mr. Reid made about President Barack Obama on the 2008 campaign trail. Mr. Kaine explained that Senator Reid's remarks, taken in context, were actually "positive" in nature and that the Nevada Senator was really praising Mr. Obama. This is an interesting spin. One must wonder if black Americans who are not "light-skinned" or, as Mr. Reid also put it, speak with only a "Negro dialect" should feel better that the Senate Majority Leader was just being "positive."(video at link)

Reid also remarked, “He didn’t smell half bad either”.

Anyone who defends these remarks is also a racist. The Dems are all a bunch of racists.

So he’s saying that Reid was complimenting Obama for being light skinned and not having a Negro dialect?

The Democreeps left “double standards” a long time ago in abandoning all semblance of values and character. Standards only apply to their enemies (us) and everything goes for these satanic devils.

So when you put Kaine’s remarks in “context”, he’s saying that dark-skinned people with “Negro dialects” are inferior or less “positive” than those light skinned people without “Negro dialects”? That is really weird. I guess we have to expect that kind of nonsense from “light skinned” DemocRATS.

Yes apparently so, can anyone think of any more compliments?

"So he’s saying that Reid was complimenting Obama for being light skinned and not having a Negro dialect?"

Well that's a positive fir sure, in a racist kind of way./s

Harry and Pelosi can have their preferred pets in the commie slave plantation. Those would be the ones who won't go to jail for not having health insurance or have to go to education camps if they don't work. They just have to speak "nice" and donate to his slush fund through ACORN.

My suggestion...start checking these crooks for estates outside the country.

Harry called Obama a clean, polite Negro who speaks good English and knows his place. You can bet Harry never said that about Al Sharpton.

They should not have cut off the video at the point they did, cutting off Steele’s remarks, which I thought were pretty helpful.

So Reid is actually saying Obama is OK because he is “high yellow” ok I understand. Reid figures he can come in the main house while the rest must stay out in the “quarters” and eat chitlins. Got it. Of course this is not really racist he is a really good guy “massa”. Why he even

I don’t recall anyone ever worrying about “context’ when it’s a Republican making a stupid remark.
