WASHINGTON -- The nation's first black attorney general is defending Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid over racial remarks about Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign.

Eric Holder tells The Associated Press that Reid is a good man, and as Holder put it: "I don't think that there is a prejudiced bone in his body."

A few years ago, Mr. Holder would have been getting us coffee.

Watching the black Dems go full-retard to try and protect Dirty Harry over the next year will be awesome. Yes, they really do think minority voters are that stupid. Thanks for proving it, Eric.

If Holder had defended a republican or even been supportive of a republican, he would be called an uncle tom.

Gosh, the Democrat ‘leadership’ is so transparent and predictable! Without the complete support of Big Media, these guys would have NO power. An embarrassment that the majority of voters put them in control of EVERYTHING!

One question: why is it that the apparent majority still believes that the Republicans are responsible for this mess?

Mr Holder speaks up as a loyal light skinned man with no negro dialect unless he chooses

Maybe school kids are getting a message- you can’t change yor skin color (well, unless you are Micheal Jackson) but you can and should learn to turn the ebonics and dialect stuff off and on to get ahead-

Just sayin’ ....

Just another Democrat with a soiled diaper. I smell change in the air.

Reid stirs the racist pot and the true racists come to his rescue. Alinsky.

“One question: why is it that the apparent majority still believes that the Republicans are responsible for this mess?”

Freepers tend to minimize the MSM because we have alternate sources, but the bottom line is, the MSM still has a lot of influence in what Americans think. There was a recent poll, around 60% of Americans plan to keep informed using TV news as their source of information.

The MSM has more responsiblity for our current mess, and the ultimate communization of American than any other single entity. But there is blame enough to go around.

Not too long ago I was talking to a neighbor about the economy and the unemployment rate. We agreed that it was quite a mess.

"Well," my neighbor said, "It's not too surprising. This is what happens when you elect an incompetent, inexperienced, moron to be president. And here we are, still paying for it 8 years later!"

Did I mention that I live in MA?
