Back To The Fifties With Harry "Jim Crow" Reid

Remember this post where I asked Would Harry Reid Try To Get Obama's Attention By Yelling "Hey Negro"?

Well apparently he would!

The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama's race during the 2008 presidential bid and are quoted in a yet-to-be-released book about the campaign.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Obama is the nation's first African-American president.

And Joe Biden says "Don't forget clean, Harry! He's clean too!" Reid & Robert Byrd then broke into a rousing duet of "Old Man River" and closed with "Mammy".

Good grief, I don't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them.

Oh Harry... Thanks For The Campaign Ad...

It takes a special kind of arrogance (and ignorance) for the democrat Senate majority leader to make this statement:

“You think you've heard these same excuses before?” Reid said during remarks on the floor of the Senate. “You're right. In this country there were those who dug in their heels and said, 'Slow down, it's too early. Let's wait. Things aren't bad enough' — about slavery.” ~ Harry Reid

He should know though, he is a member of the Democrat Party. You know them, they're the ones that "dug in their heels" about slavery; FOR it not to end it.

Considering his party fought to defend slavery, legislated Jim Crow laws, boasts the longest serving Senator... former sheet-wearing Klan leader Robert Byrd, and opposed the voting rights act (Senate vote count: Democrats: 47 against –17 for [73%-27%], the GOP was 94% in favor), I'd be a bit ashamed if I were good ol' Harry. The GOP should of course thank him, because you can't buy that kind of political advertising.
