Of course the Dems thought they finally got rid of their only black senator, they didn’t want another one. Hypocrits.

How ‘bout giving the seat to a minority. Maybe a Republican or somebody like that.

Did Reid offer Blago some choice Nevada real estate for it?

The arrogance of Reid is astounding that he thinks he can dictate to the Governor who he should choose.

Senator Reid is obviously a RACIST, he did not want ANY of the BLACK candidates, Jesse jackson, Emil Jones, Bobby Rucs.

HE DID want Lily white Attorney General Lisa Madigan (Irish)

RACIST !!!!

Didn’t want JJJ? This is going to get really good. We need to encourage the Caucus of Color to raise hell.

I honestly think that Reed, Pelosi and Lollipop Boy see themselves as the anointed rulers of this country.

Amazing. Not only did Zero manage to remain pure as the driven snow in Chicago, it appears that he’s pristine among democrats nationwide.

The republicans have a song parody making fun of an LA Times piece using the same term “Magic Negro” as the piece in the LATimes did.

The democrats vow to physically block the only black senator from taking the senate floor. The longest serving senator is a democrat former KKK leader. The leader of the senate was caught on the Blago tapes saying he did not want the son of the leading civil rights leader made a senator.

Now who does the MSM portray as racist?

This is an outrage. How long will Reid and the Dems be allowed to continue their racism? They are just using the spurious allegations against Blago to keep a minority out of the Senate.

This is a conspiracy against Blago by rich, white Democrats. There is a rush to judgment. Americans don’t care about whatever Dems think Blago did. Americans care about jobs and health care in this horrible economy. Let Blago get back to serving the good people of Illinois. There’s a rush to judgment in this conspiracy. This is an outrage! :))
