D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton is warning Republicans against trying to make hay out of Harry Reid's comments about Barack Obama's skin color and lack of a "Negro dialect."
The non-voting member of Congress said Reid's opponents will not find a welcome mat in the black community if they try to seize on his remarks.
Norton, a black woman who represents one of the most heavily African American cities in the country, said Reid will enjoy support from the black community because he has earned it with long support of civil rights and many other issues that matter most to African Americans.

What a whore, defending the indefensible, and basically dissing the people she is supposed to represent.

This lady is pathetic....the Dems are the party of racism, Jim Crow, segregation, lynching, and slavery...
I guess, since now the Dems push the welfare checks...all that racist stuff from before doesn’t matter

How quickly they forget about Trent Lott and what their fearless leader said regarding same. Or what about their first black prez, Bill Clinton? Good grief!

She can warn all she wants - Harry Reid is very likely done in November.

Another fine example of democrat thinking.
You can now purchase Racism Credits, heck
there is probably a Racism Credit Exchange
where they can be traded, bought and sold.
Thanks Ms.Norton.

If the Democrats want to take the race card out of the deck, that’s fine. If they insist on leaving it in for themselves, and claim nobody else can play it then it’s time to kick over the table.
