RACISM and they have NEVER left their origins behind. WE are to believe that an old white guy like Reid is NOT RACIST because what he said as Gov Kaine said on FOX today was a NICE RACIST comment?

Democrats the party of WALL STREET who have USED middle class Americans tax dollars to BAILOUT their Wall Street buddies and their union buddies to the tune of TRILLIONS while those Wall Street buddies are continuing to make BILLIONS on their stocks while 10%+ of our fellow Americans are struggling to get work and make a mortgage payment in which the Democrats Wall Street buddies are YANKING out their houses from under them.

If the GOP cannot hang this around the necks of Democrats in the next elections they are simply STUPID!

I hope Rush, Hannity, Beck, etc. keep this issue out front as it should not be let go of – even if Reid will not be forced to resign his position – it would help by continuing to show the public the real face of the Democrats.

Here. The hypocrisy of the left just gets more blatant with each passing day. But I see no backlash against Reid from those who blasted Lott or even George Allen, who used a, to me anyway at the time, rather obscure term. Reid can apologize and it’s all good. Lott and Allen can apologize but must still be destroyed, all by the same people who forgive Reid.

Hypocrites all.

do those blacks who accepted Reids apology understand that they are acknowledging also that the left is finally saying what they have thought for years and years out loud? And if they do will it make a difference in their party choice?

I don’t think so,but at least it will be in the back of their minds.

the message and the dialogue, we lose. First, I call the Dems Leftists, as they demonstrate having no standards for themselves or conscience on these issues. It means nothing to them, unless it is a cudgel to use over OUR heads, which has already been pointed out. The Left has the MSM and they control the story. Imagine if you will, a headline, that said “Senate leader Reid insults President”-it is all in how the words are twisted and printed. The MSM complicity in the takeover of our country, brings an almost unbearable price, as we are all finding out.

No matter our hue and cry, the Leftists Dems believe they are the righteous purveyors of all that cures society’s ills; and even as they decry racism, they create it.

Everything done by mobsters is fine. Everybody else is wrong.

Mike I can guarantee Harry is going to be in politics and as majority leader until Nevada voters kick him out.

It is a shame we allow democrats to get away with this crap every single time.

summation of Dem perfidy and long history of racist macaca…

And you hit it on the head, Blacks are nothing more than a commodity for the race baiting poverty pimps in the Democratic party. They are convinced that the only way for someone Black to win is to be an acceptable level of light skinned, Northern Black who doesn’t sound like an ignorant Southerner. Hence their rejection and vile racist diatribe thrown at Georgia born dark skinned Clarence Thomas, the most intelligent holder of public office today. At least we know this is the rule, not the exception.

to me, a freckle-faced, pink-skinned descendant of Black Irish grandparents. (That makes me a “white” person.)

What Harry Reid said reflects more about how he views me and my family than about how he views Barack Obama. What he said was, “Even white racists like you will accept Barack Obama because he is just fair enough and sounds enough like you for bigots like you to accept him.”

The arrogance of those who presume that I have some preference with regard to the race of elected officials is remarkable. The truth is I don’t give a damn, Mr. Reid. What a condescending, closed-minded prig you are.

“comments”

Trent Lott’s comments regarding StromThurmond were stupid. They may not have been meant as racist — and for the record, I personally do not think Lott meant to be racially offensive by them — but his comments were stupid and yes, I personally did take offense. As did many Blacks (including a couple of Republicans) and Whites (again, including a few Republicans) I know from South Carolina.

(And as a quick aside to perhaps head off controversy about Strom Thurmond’s relationship with Blacks vis-a-vis his daughter, a family member is a personal friend of Essie Mae Washington and her daughter. Trust me, I am quite familiar with the details: probably more so than most.)

Sorry for being picayune but I think this is endemic of the problems with Republicans and conservatives these days. Too often — perhaps not always but still far too often — conservative arguments degrade into nothing more than “… but what the liberals and Democrats do is worse!”

In our quest to justly condemn the hypocrisy and racism of the current Democrats, let’s not fall into the trap of excusing the stupidity and ignorance of past Republicans.

It simply comes down to the intent that you ascribe to Lott’s words. I found Lott’s comments to be offensive because they were stupid and (although I hate using the phrase, here I think it is accurate) “racially insensitive.” There are many people who were alive and fighting against the segregationist policies Strom Thurmond; you’re fooling yourself if they would not take some offense at what Trent Lott said.

Moreover, although I personally do not think Lott intended anything racist by his comments — like gamecock, I think he meant his comments as simply kind words to an old colleague — but many people, both Black and White, liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat, did take offense at his words as racist. If Trent Lott had said the exact same thing as he did say, you can argue that Lott was making a racist statement that he preferred a world of de jure segregation.

And that is the similarity with Harry Reid’s comments: and why I think Reid should resign (or be forced out) just like Lott was. Democrats are making the argument that Reid’s intent was not racist and therefore he should not be condemned (and/or loss his leadership position). My argument is that if the Democrats are going to condemn someone (e.g. Trent Lott) whose comments are stupid and “racially insensitive” then they should comdemn someone else whose comments are stupid and “racially insensitive” (e.g. Harry Reid) or they are hypocrites. Which, for the record, I think they are.

But note that I consider both comments to be stupid and “racially insensitive.” Where I disagreed with gamecock is in that he seemed to be making the argument that Trent Lotts comments were not stupid and “racially insensitive”; or at least not as stupid and “racially insensitive” as Harry Reid’s. Again, my argument is, if you condemn one then condemn both. And if you are going to try to excuse one, then don’t take issue with the other side excusing the other.

And as for Strom Thurmond, racial segregation was the issue; “state’s rights” was just a convenient vehicle to promulgate and promote his then racist views. Simply look at his history and comments at the time. The States’ Rights Democratic Party was explcitly formed in opposition to the anti-lynching and anti-segregation planks endorsed by the Democratic Party in 1948. I will even agree that there were far worse White racist and pro-segregationists at the time but that does not excuse Strom Thurmond nor explain away his 1948 Presidential run on the “Dixiecrat” ticket as simply or even primarily about States’ Rights.

Thats the difference, I think, folks. When one of our guys does anything that even remotely puts them in the line of fire, there side fires. I havent seen a single commercial from GOP or conservatives smacking Racist Reid. Granted, I live in Canada, but I get a lot of American channels and havent seen one. Id love to be flat out wrong on this.

People are people, and they respond to noise. If we dont make noise, people wont hear, they have lives to live and kids and loved ones.

Ive never made a video, but I will give it a try. Hopefully others will too, and not just amateurs, but professionals too. Americans are the most generous people on this planet, and they despise racism. With enough noise, we can tarnish the party of slavery.

Here’s a guy born and raised in Searchlight,NV. A town that I can think doesn’t have many or any Blacks living there. It was never right for him to say what he said and if it was earlier on when we didn’t see a black person, he might have been able to plead ignorance. Too bad for him, it wasn’t earlier on. I’m guessing if you become a part of the clique formally known as the Democratic party, you can get away with almost anything. For him, it seems that he’ll never have his macaca. I post more when I can think more on the situation.

His skin-tone, however, is what’s paramount to Harry Reid.
