But Harry Reid is no Trent Lott and the standards are different for Democrats. Only because the republicans allow it!

“...Obama is a light-skinned African-American who lacked a Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one
Sounds about right to me, unless by “African-American” Reid was implying Obama was born in Kenya, ...even then there maybe some truth...

The media template is simple. Republicans are known to be white racists, so if a Republican said it the intent was malice. Democrats on the other hand are tolerant and compassionate people so there could never possibly me malice in their intent, even the times when they say “stupid” things like this. Democrats are thus exempt from criticism.
Expect the Just Brothers to make some token noise. It will be mild and it will fade very quickly. By Wednesday the incident will be forgotten.

Because,
the Dems usually circle the wagons with the person of question on the inside;
the Pubbies usually circle the wagon the person of question on the outside.

That is a stupid question. Reid said something nasty about then Senator Obama so of course he gets to accept the apology or not. President Obama has forgiven Reid (and some people say Obama is not Christian....:)
To: homegroan
Remember Hillary’s attempted ‘accent’ when she was in Selma (IIRC).
And her ‘plantation’ remark, which was spoken with that same fake accent.

I heard on Fox News just this morning that the problem with Republicans is they wait and wait to apologize. The Dems get that apology done immediately which changes the story. Makes sense actually. Trent Lott waited until the story was a disaster and bigger than it needed to be to apologize. That is the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
To: napscoordinator
In Newspeak, saying that which is true is “nasty” and requires apology and forgiveness.

Other than his use of the politically incorrect word “Negro”, what Reid said was true.

Liberals are racists. A dark skinned black man is not acceptable. They see Obama as one of their own.
Look at how Clarence Thomas was treated by the liberals. I think his oratory skills are much better than Obama’s. His voice is a rich baritone and he has something to say when he speaks. Obama delivers empty speeches and the liberals can't get enough.
Reid needs to find forgiveness with dark skinned blacks with more pronounced dialects, not Obama. He was basically saying Obama was more acceptable than other black men.

Why Does Obama Get to Absolve Reid?Because if Ole Dingy gets booted to the curb by the citizens of Nevada Obamacare goes down the tubes.
DUH!

At least Biden thought he was clean.

The liberal defense of reid’s comments and obama’s hypocrisy will be that any one that speaks out against this is just putting politics before country.
