Harry Reid's comments have prompted a warning... to Republicans!
D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton is warning Republicans against trying to make hay out of Harry Reid's comments about Barack Obama's skin color and lack of a "Negro dialect."Thanks to the white washing of black history by liberal academics, the Democrat Party, and the media, Republicans don't have a welcome mat in the black community now. Talk about a threat with no teeth....The nonvoting member of Congress said Reid's opponents will not find a welcome mat in the black community if they try to seize on his remarks.
That said, Eleanor Holmes Norton (IF she can be intellectually honest with herself) should look at all the things Democrats like Reid have done TO blacks instead of for them. The destruction of the black family with entitlement programs, politically-endorsed mass abortion of black babies, denial of school vouchers to help black kids escape failing schools run by liberal teacher unions, economic development broken promises, an liberal entertainment culture that discourages blacks from education and towards sports and rap are prominent things that come to mind.
The Democrat Party are the last people to be issuing warnings.
LOL. Like me threatening to take away my son's BMW Z4 35i.
It’s a ‘members only’ game. They get to play...we don’t.
Eleanor Holmes Norton = Uncle Tom.
Just like he calls some of us "bitter clingers" when talking to voters in San Francisco, he uses a "black dialect" when talking to the Black community.
I really took it as Reid pointing out what a fake and phoney Obama is.
More useless warnings and threats from people who are supposedly the best and the brightest in government.
Sigh.
Yes, but the whole skin shade thing is rather disgustingly racist no matter how he parses it.
Did this nonvoting congressional freak ever pay her taxes????? she “forgot” to do so for some time before getting caught and coming up with a lame excuse about trusting her husband to have done so. LOSER MAXIMO!
So tell me you dumb broad, how about Robert Byrd, the Klansman. Have you been on his case lately?
She is one of the worst slave masters running the D.C. plantation.
This is the perfect time for the Republican party to seize on these comments to point out the REAL RACIST party which is the Democrat Party. Point to history and show that it was Eleanor Holmes-Norton's party that did everything in its power to keep slavery intact, instituted segregation and Jim Crow laws, formed the terrorist arm of the party called the KKK and other documented truths. If Michael Steele wants to help the Republicans, then he needs to seize this moment and shine the light of truth of history once and for all.
