The Great Absolution of Racist Reid

The United States Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has recently been exposed as having made some rather viciously racist comments. Poor guy; he got caught so red-handed that he didn't fall back on what he was taught to do in Liberal Politics 101: deny, deny, deny, at least until the news cycle runs its course. Rather, like a good spin-meister, he went on the attack as soon as possible to control the damage and explain exactly how it was that he could say that the first black Presidential candidate in our history had greater electability because he was "light skinned" and spoke "with no Negro dialect." He even rubbed salt in the wound when he indicated that Obama could turn on that "Negro dialect" whenever it suited his demagogic purposes. These comments should make any decent person shudder, but such are the sins of a liberal in thought, word and deed.

Pray for Fr. Euteneuer, the end of abortion, yourself, your family, and your neighbor.

Had this been George Bush, or any other conservative the coverage would have preempted the Hatian earthquake. These greasey eletist liberal socialists and their lackeys the mainstream media make me want to puke.

Exactly! Did you get to read the whole article in regard to which "sacrament" Fr. Euteneuer feels joins them? He's feisty honest with his words ... wonderful priest ... nails it on the head!

Frankly, I didn’t think that what Reid said was racist. I think it was simply realistic. A light-skinned black man with a standard American English vocabulary and Midwestern accent is going to be a lot more electable than a very dark black man with a vocabulary and accent from the ‘hood.

Now, would a Republican or conservative man be pilloried by the liberal press for saying the exact same thing? Sure. But that doesn’t make what Reid said racist.

Is the above racist to you?

[RonF]

Nope. Not to me.
