Considering that those old segregationists were all DEMOCRATS its hard to believe that Harry Reid would go there.
Well what do you expect from that hypocrite?
Harry Reid knows how stupid a majority of voters are. If democrats tell them it was mean old republicans that fought to keep the black citizen down with segregation and Jim Crow laws idiot democrats will believe it.
When confronted by facts then there was a magical time when all the democrats saw the light and the republicans were really the racist party.
Reid knows who runs the public schools.
I read it as Harry setting up to call Republicans racist when they refuse to confirm a Justice "because Obama is a black President."
