Harry Reid Apologizes for Racist Comment re: Obama

[Breadburner]

Forgive me if I demur.

Pervert.....!!!

[Gaspar]

Harry Reid should resign, but not for these comments. They were stupid, but he quickly apologized and Obama accepted.

Hary Reid is ineffective as the leader of the Senate, and has trouble keeping democrats on board on key legislation.

Spot on!

Mr. Reid has been very destructive to the Democrat party.  Now is his opportunity to bow out and blame it on something silly rather than admitting his hand in dividing his party through poor leadership.  It’s the same opportunity that presented itself to Lott. 

The question is: 
Will Reid give up his seat for the good of the party as Lott did? . . . or is his hunger for power, at the expense of his constituency (and the country in this case), more important?

Hmmm.  Lott gave up his seat "for the good of the party?"
Silly me for thinking he was pushed out by Karl Rove...

Yeah, that Harry Reid sure acts like a power hungry pol....

Michelle Obama: Harry Reid has 'no need to apologize'

Does it bother anyone else that a doddering and senile former kkk leader is third in line for POTUS?

No.  That is, unless you know something I don't about the future intentions of the tea-party movement.  
Because never in the history of our country has the Pres, VP and Speaker of the House died in office.

But it would bother me an awful lot if Harry Reid made a statement that this country would be a much better place if Sen. Byrd (or George Wallace) had been elected president instead of JFK or LBJ.  

In fact, I'd demand Harry Reid resign immediately if he made such an outrageous statement.

But he didn't.

Trent Lott, however, made a statement that this country would be a much better place had Strom Thurmond been elected president in 1948 (on a segregationist dixiecrat platform)...... a President Thurmond could have vetoed that pesky Civil Rights Act of 1957.... but it was Senator Thurmond who broke the record for the longest one-person filibuster in history to keep it from becoming law.  Damn the luck...

Here's the quote:

"I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we 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 over all these years either."

I have my inauguration invitation.
I am proud to have supported Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
I was disappointed when Obama wasn't "black enough" to beat out Bobby Rush for a southside house seat.

He's not my messiah, he's a politician.

I enjoy the irony when your hatred of Obama and his supporters becomes as visceral as those liberals who hated Reagan and his supporters back in the day....

I found this pretty funny re: Reid and how unemployed men become abusive:

Not worthy of its own thread, so I put this latest Reid gem here

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/reid-oconnor-wasnt-a-judge-either-except-she-was-93601289.html

I am beginning to think Reid wants to challenge Biden as biggest buffoon in Washington.

I wonder if Harry and Roscoe Turner are drinking out of the same still

[guido911]

Reid simply can't help himself w/ his race issues:

Most pathetic CYA of the day:

"Sen. Reid's contention was simply that he doesn't understand how anyone, Hispanic or otherwise, would vote for Republican candidates because they oppose saving teachers' jobs, oppose job-creating tax incentives for small businesses, oppose investments in job-creating clean energy projects, and oppose the help for struggling, unemployed Nevadans to put food on the table and stay in their homes," read the statement."

According to Reid, two of the greatest living Americans are Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd:

Calling Reid a buffoon is an insult to buffoonery.

[guido911]

Reid at it again.
