Feinstein Backs Reid

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) defended Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Sunday, saying there was no need for him to step aside.

"First of all, all of us are imperfect," Feinstein said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "Clearly, this was a mistake. Clearly, the leader misspoke and he's also apologized. ... The president has accepted the apology and it would seem to me the matter should be closed."

First--Dianne Feinstein clearly doesn't think Reid needs to apologize to black people, only to political leaders.

Second--Dianne Feinstein is essentially saying that it is innappropriate for We the People (black, white or brown) to question Democrats when their racist (tyrannical) impulses are revealed, or at any time not allowed by Democrat leaders.

Yeah, but she practically demanded that the entire Republican party resign over “macaca”. F.U. Diane.

We demand perfect leaders and since neither of them are remotely close to perfect, they can both step down and still scratch each others back in liberal utopia.

When Senator Lott said certain words, the Democrats wanted his head. Feinstein looks foolish trying to rescue a weak Reid for his outrageous remarks.

I'll be happy with the same treatment that Trent Lott got as Majority Leader. The Democrats established a precedent -- let's see them live up to it themselves.

You know Feinstein is lying.. Her lips are moving! Your post is spot on. These people despise us. They think their morning business does not stink!

This is like Hilter endorsing Satan. Neither has morality or conviction in God and have whored themselves for political gain and the socialist dream. Pray for this country and don’t rest until these devils are buried.

Reid is apologizing for something that happened 1-2 yrs ago and is only apologizing after it was published in a book (after being caught). I find this bizarre that it is only coming out now.

“First of all, all of us are imperfect,” Feinstein said

Translation: “Most Dems agree with Reid...we're just not stupid enough to say so publicly.”

They have to save Reid from losing his leadership position. If he is sacked, he has absolutely nothing to hang his hat on in the upcoming election. His mantra for years has been “you send me back because I have this high position and that means I can help Nevada” more than anyone new.

If he is just another Senator, he may as well end his campaign now. He’s already on the ropes, this should end him - if the people of Nevada have any sense.

BTW, if you don’t think there are major race wars coming as a result of the policies of this president and his minions, you are living in denial. He has set the country up to colapse and we will have to physically fight to get the country back which will pit us against the “entitlement” class. Arm up folks, it’s coming.

“...a mistake...”? A racist comment is “a mistake”? Typical dimocrat.

Which is worse: toe tapping a person in the next stall or walking away from an accident where a young girl drowns?

Which is worse: Complimenting a man on his 100th birthday or using the n-word openly?

Which is worse: Having an extramarital affair or having a lover of the same sex who ran a little boys ring in the basement of your home?

And I could go on, and on, and on, and on about the disparity of the treatment of those who have strayed who are republicans and democrats.

And the media was silent about the disparity!!!!!!

Bottom line... Mr Reid has spoken in a very racist way and should absolutely step down!

Harry’s already toast. Anyone who defends him now isn’t doing themselves any favors.

I don’t get any of this.

First, Reid said this back during Obama’s CAMPAIGN. (over a year ago)

Second, how is it any different from Joe Biden’s reference to Obama as being THE FIRST ‘clean’, and ‘articulate’ Afican-American/Black/Negro in politics?

That’s like referring to Jimmy Carter as the first Redneck politician who wasn’t married to his sister.
