Do you remember what he said after Ted Kennedy died?

“I think it’s going to help us.” :shock:

I think of Obama as the whitest President America has had in 16 years.

I'm no fan of Mr. Reid, but I think his private statement accurately reflected racial reality in this country, and was in no way derogatory.

Unfortunately, we live in a country today where we are encouraged to discuss subjects, from race to sex to age to global warming, but if in these discussions we do not fully support the party line, we are condemned, almost as though the object of the discussions is not to reach the truth, but rather to rout out our internal enemies. How much more like the USSR or China can we become?

If what he says doesn't offend you, why get worried about whether you believe it should offend other people?

that is not how liberals operate... remember the reaction to Rush Limbaugh's or Trent Lott's comments? "racially insensitive comments?"

Stephen, you're smarter than that. I'm sure, if you tried really hard, you could distinguish the difference between what Reid said and what Lott or Limbaugh did.

In case you're not as smart as I give you credit for, I'll give you a head start by asking you to explain exactly what was it in Reid's comment that was derogatory to Obama?

Did you actually read the comment that I was responding tooo? Reid's comment was derogatory towards all people who voted in the last election. Reid assumes that whites, blacks, hispanics, and etc would not have voted for a for a dark skinned negro that did not speak proper English. He is calling all of us racist based on what he believes to be true... I voted for Bush, need I say more on the dialect comment.

"Sorry to say this, I don't think he's been that good from the get-go," Limbaugh said. "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
??????

On a side note, McNabb has definitley blossomed into a great NFL QB.


"I want to state this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we [in Mississippi] voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems all these years either."
LOL.. Funny how that the libs only focused on one aspect of Strom's history (via the Lott statement) but yet at the same time support KKK Byrd and allow him to be a Democrat :roll: .. This is not about race or about some one making a very ignorant statement rather, this is about political ideology intolerance from the left.

what did Reid say that was intolerant? His words seem to reflect some kind of acceptance or advocacy.

Michael Jordan is a dark skinned black man that speaks quite well: I'm sure many whites would vote for him.

George W. Bush was a white skinned man that speaks very poorly: many whites voted for him.

Sarah Palin is a white skinned woman that speaks very poorly: many whites voted for her.

Arnold Schwartzeneggar is a white skinned man that speaks english in an interesting way: many of us would vote for him. or Randy Savage.
