Sen. Reid Questions if GOP Wants Obama to Fail Because He’s Black
Newsmax ^ | Friday, 09 Aug 2013 04:28 PM | Paul Scicchitano and Newsmax Wires

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he hopes Republicans who oppose the president do so “based on substance and not the fact that he's an African-American.”

The comment came during a wide-ranging interview Friday with Las Vegas-based National Public Radio affiliate KNPR, in which Reid lamented Republican filibusters and claimed opponents do everything they can to make Obama fail. …

Reid’s comments went unchallenged by the program’s moderator, but not by Newsmax contributor and Conservative African-American columnist Clarence V. McKee, who said there was no reason for Reid to bring up the race issue during the interview. … He said Reid’s comments were tantamount to “liberal, elitist, racism.” …

Harry Reid will use any farce to attack Republicans.

This one is dredged up from the past and used when he is desperate.

Mitch McConnell if he were a man would be all over this, and responding like a to Harry and telling Harry what an idiot he is.

But instead they will meet in the Senate dining room and Mitch will kiss Harry’s ring before sitting to eat.

No, I don’t want Obama to fail because he’s half-black; I want Obama to fail because he’s a crypto-communist. So is Sen. Ried. However I want Ried to fail because he’s lying sack of pig dung.

This story, posted above by others, certainly hits the nail on the head.

Demagoguery at is finest, or at its worst, depending upon your viewpoint.

How such slime balls could hold high office in the US says a lot for the wisdom and the morality of our present citizenry.

How about, for “acting black” rather than being black? Living opulently like an African dictator, ignoring laws, scheming to squeeze ever more out of YT, and most recently, having his HUD secretary come up with a plan to create neighborhood racial quotas in housing finance?

And NO response for ANY republican on this matter. We let him say stupid sh!t when ever he wants the spotlight, we need to be in his face with the truth. Play some hard ball - oh, that’s right you gotta have balls to play ball. RNC/GOP is dead.

Yeah, and 3/4 of the country hates his Healthcare plan because he’s Black. I hate Reid because he’s Marxist.

Pray for America to Wake Up

Has obama given Hairy Reed the Medal of Freedom yet?

If not, that is a terrible injustice.

The race bothers me but in a different way. I am sad that BHO defines what a “black” president is and does. The man is evil. If anything he sullies the black race.

Yo, Pinky Reid, the American People want Obama’s white half to fail as well -— and it’s because he’s a lying commie scumbag who, with your help, is fundamentally transforming the USofA into socialist craphole.

If you think about it, Reid is suggesting that we wouldn’t be against all of these crazy policies if Obama were white. It’s an inane and stupid comment. The only question is how long will this ‘race’ card work for the dems?

Harry Reid says he hopes Republicans who oppose the president do so “based on substance and not the fact that he’s an African-American.”

So Harry “race bater”noticed and brought the difference to every ones attention. Why do you comment Harry?

Let me get this straight. The Democrats have the White House, the U.S. Senate, and all departments of the executive branch and they can only stand by helplessly as minority Republicans single-handedly sabatague potential prosperity? That is ludicrous.

No, we don’t want his considerably less than half-black butt to fail because of his race; we want it to fail because of his MARXIST POLICIES AND INCOMPETENCE!
