One of the most senior members of the Democratic party, Harry Reid, resisted calls for his resignation today over racially tinged remarks about Barack Obama, including a suggestion that one of the president's strengths is that he does not speak with a "Negro dialect".

No word from Jesse Jackson yet, but expect him to fall in line behind Rev. Al.

OBAMA want to throw him overboard because he can’t win - like Dodd in Connecticut.

THEN they will run another candidate against him.

We will need an EXORCIST to get Obama out of the Oval Office.

The first news source that comes up with a second source of racism from Harry will be responsible for his demise. Not even the “race pimps” can save him from multiple comments.

What about Clinton observing to the late Teddy K that, a couple of years ago, Obama would’ve been fetching their coffee, not running for President?

Democrats still view blacks as 3/5ths of a person.

Truth be known, Obummer would have more of a British accent than a typical urban black accent since Kenyan’s have that colonial heritage. The kenyan is a pretender either way, but Reid should be skewered but the Dumocrats will continue to defend him, being the two-faced a**holes they are.

I support Reid. But only because his ratings are lower than a replacement would probably get.

Blacks ignore racist remarks when they are the recipients of the entitlements these people pay them off with, for their votes.

Offensive remarks are ignored when the price is right.

It’s just that simple.

Just because Trent Lott got snookered into resigning as Majority Leader, doesn’t mean that persons of more flexible ethical standards have to do the same.

Oh, they gotcha, Trent.

This is just a diversion. Reid can’t win so zer0 wants him gone.

We need to start looking for that EXORCIST now. It may take a while.

Hasn't this been the MOST AMAZING DISPLAY of HYPOCRISY FROM THE PRESS CORP and the DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE? I MEAN.....

IF A REPUBLICAN HAD SAID THIS ABOUT OBAMA AND HIS LACK OF 'NEGRO DIALECT' or the fact that his skin is 'light' for a black man that REPUBLICAN would be TOAST!!!!

And notice how tho we are suffering right now, you NEVER hear the press talk about the hellacious DEFICIT or the DEATHS in IRAQ and AFGANISTAN or the fact that GASOLINE PRICES ARE THROUGH THE ROOF?

The hypocrisy is getting downright scary...as if we have a REAL GOEBBELS (Hitler's press buddy) pulling the strings and the good little liberal press corp asks nothing but how high do I jump or how low do you want me to bend over.

They do not mind being slaves as long as they do not have to work?

I think that about 10% of blacks are conservatives how must they feel when they see this kind of BS?
