Fairly stupid comments made by a seasoned politician who should have known better, just goes to show that racism can rear it's ugly head in any party not just those of the right. What gets me is he thought his words woudnt get repeated LOL
Nothing is going to happen...but heaven forbib a conservative said that, the media would be on it like white (oops...not PC correct) on rice.
Step down....resign...you mean like Trent Lott did when he made his "racist" comments. Dirty Harry........never.....the distingished senator HAS NO SHAME.
Why should he resign? I am so tired of everyone worrying more about being politically correct than being honest. His comments were 100% accurate. If Obama started speaking like a rap star from the inner city during his campaign to connect with the black community, he would have lost in a landslide. I am a staunch republican who is defending Harry Reid. Why? Because this whole topic is nothing but typical DC political crap. What Reid needs to be criticized for is his performance as a US Senator not the fact that he was dumb enough to speak the truth. Now you can call me a racist, but know this: If I have the choice to be labeled a racist or have your moral character, I choose racism.
I agree that he has his ''no negro dialect''.....but he also has his "negro dialect". It all depends on to whom he is talking to.
If it doesn't bother Obama, why should anybody else care? Much to do about nothing. The signature of the right.
I think it's funny & highlights the hypocrisy of the far left. Was it racist? Not really but is was demeaning to BO & shows what people like Reid think about BO deep down. BO is just a tool the far left is using to get what they want!
I am part of the "right" yet I already stated that this doesn't bother me, is much to do about nothing, and I don't care. How do you explain that?
There is some truth into Reid's comments. To say barackO can speak in two different dialects, depending to whom he is talking, is true. This proves that he is a great actor.
Now that is a great response! Could be an insult or a compliment. At this moment I choose to see the best in you and will just say thank you!
When I think of sincerity, the republican party always comes to mind first. They are the party that thinks communication is a bad thing so not so hard to believe I guess. Amazing the truth the right can find from the left, so long as it denigrates someone else on the left. The rest of the time they're just crazy liberals.
I wonder if the scripts BO reads from prompt him as what dialect to use & when to use it? Wonder what would happen if he got his lines screwed up & he used the wrong dialect for a group he was pandering, err...I mean campaigning, uhhh...I mean speaking at?
