People who think that Reid’s job is in jeopardy (at least until the elections) are fooling themselves. The Democrats fully accept their own behaving badly in the race department and they will never punish any of their own for making any missteps here.
Moral of the Story: We don’t mind if you’re a racist as long as you vote the way we want you to.
Good God! I just saw Sharpton make a complete fool out of himself live on Morning Joe. I have no word to express it. This is new territoty. Can anyone help.?
Problem with this strategy is that it reveals the Rats as abject hypocrites.
Can’t wait to see how they try to spin Bubba Clinton’s cmoments...
Really? Just how much help is the minimum wage when 50% of the negro youth are unemployed. And just ask Detroit how liberal education is working for the black community.
The world as seen by socialists:
If you’re a socialist, you can do no wrong.
If you’re not a socialist, you’re a racist, and every other evil thing we can think to call you.
Thsi will backfire - as it will remind who the Dems really fight for... and it ain’t the white middle class.
I was shocked, I shocked, I say, to hear the Reid story at the top of the hourly abc radio news at 0600 and 0700 eastern.
May be, indeed, interesting.
First, Reid’s allies plan to distribute the NAACP vote ratings of Republican senators who have scolded him. The data will be made available to editorial boards, cable programs and the blogosphere — including votes on minimum wage, community-oriented policing, education funding and HIV/AIDS programs.
It will be interested to see their scores.
And as we all KNOW, minimum wage, “community policing,” education and AIDS are all race issues.
I love it! I hope they continue to defend this guy. Harry, continue to fight you are only helping your Party drive over the cliff faster.

Sen. Macaca (D-NV) should simply resign rather than try to change the subject.
Harry Reid on Trent Lott: “I think what he said is not good for America; it’s repugnant...” -Las Vegas Review-Journal, (12-02)
Reid...in 2002 agreed with former Sen. Trent Lott’s (R-Miss.) decision to resign his leadership role after Lott made what some felt were racist remarks at former Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday party.
“He had no alternative,” said Reid at the time claiming, “If you tell ethnic jokes in the backroom, it’s that much easier to say ethnic things publicly. I’ve always practiced how I play.”
“He had no alternative”
“Senator Lott dug himself a hole and he didn’t dig it all in one setting. He dug it over the years. And he couldn’t figure out a way to get out of it.”
In 2002, Harry Reid said:
“The Republican Party itself has to drive out Trent Lott. If they have to stand for something, they have to stand up and say this is not the person we want representing our party.”
- and -
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (C-13th), challenged the Republican Party to repudiate Lott’s remarks and to call for his resignation as senate leader.
“It seems to be that we can forgive a 100-year-old senator for some of the indiscretion of his youth, but, what is more difficult to forgive is the current president of the U.S. Senate (Lott) suggesting we had been better off if we had followed a segregationist path in this country after all of the battles and fights for civil rights and all the work that we still have to do,” said Obama.
*** Fast forward to 2010 ***
Obama’s comments on Harry Reid:
“Harry Reid called me today and apologized for an unfortunate comment reported today. I accepted Harry’s apology without question because I’ve known him for years, I’ve seen the passionate leadership he’s shown on issues of social justice and I know what’s in his heart. As far as I am concerned, the book is closed.”
Please take a look at how you are being used and how race is being used merely as a weapon. You don't mean anything to them other than a club to use on their enemies.
From now on, I don't want to hear about how "offended" you are at words, I don't want to hear how "bad" anyone is for saying something. It won't work anymore just like acting like discrimination is still real won't work. Sorry, it's over.
As if white people do not work for minimum wage, desire police protection, want education and catch AIDS.
Their so-called solution and support is just another layer of racial pandering. It's an ultimate insult to black people, because they are defining a race of human beings by their challenges.
Thereby they ignore the first step in extracting oneself from a hole - They keep digging.
