Harry Reid (D), Senate Majority Leader - America's Next Racist!

[Gyaos]

I couldn't have said it better, but Harry Reid has got to go. I think a bi-partisan consensus is in order here. "Unless he wanted to have (a negro dialect)", huh? Like this: "Yo, Yo! Yo, Harry! Yo, this is Barack!" Dick Durbin is next in line for majority leader, he should have been majority leader a while back.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid apologized on Saturday for saying Barack Obama should seek — and could win — the White House because Obama was a "light skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

I think the Harry Reid is more stupid then racist. Even though most racists are stupid, but you get the point.

It is not that what Senator Reid said was untrue, rather it was racialy charged and "Politically Incorrect."

However, there is also the issue of double standards. If Senator Lott was forced to resign as majority leader for making poorly thought through statements at a Birthday dinner for Senator Strom Thurmond, then Senator Reid should also be forced to resign as majority leader for an equally poorly thought through statement.

No, Reid should step down as majority leader because he is out of his depth.

That's also true - I didn't view our two points as being mutually exclusive.

Not surprised there....
