Harry Reid is not merely guilty of using an n-word, he used it in private while discussing politics (and swaying the voting public) AFTER he'd demanded the resignation of a Republican Senator who in NO WAY was praising the Democrat institution of segregation.
Reid's downfall comes for his own phony outrage and racist leanings. If he can stand tall and say "we don't want that in a Senate Majority Leader" then he HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RESIGN.
Since when does Barack Obama get to determine if black people have been wronged by the comments or if "it's okay now"? Does Barry Soetoro speak for all black Americans? I know he's already lied to them. His word isn't worth much.
