Sigh! Just like a typical lib you have the world turned upside down & you don't have your facts straight regarding the real issues, but you believe you are absolutely correct in your opinion.

the Republican noise machine is adept at manipulating the media. No, it's just one more example of "What goes around, comes around." If the Democrats don't like having that done to them they should not do it to others.

The Democratic Heart By: Kathryn Jean Lopez The Corner An e-mail on the topic Mark raises -- what they really think: <<< [Harry Reid's] remark's context is (apologies) remarkable. From media reports, it appears that the Majority Leader made these statements to a group of Dems to get them to line up behind Obama. If so, for Reid to pull out the color bar and assess the lightness or darkness of Mr. Obama's skin then to comment essentially that he sounds white enough to get elected, in an effort to sell Democrats on him, really points to the depths of the bigotry and racism and hypocrisy within the party of slavery, its leadership, or both. >>> corner.nationalreview.com

Reid on Lott: 'If you tell ethnic jokes in the backroom, it’s that much easier to say ethnic things publicly.' By: David Freddoso Online Opinion Editor beltway-confidential 01/11/10 12:39 PM EST Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's comments about President Obama's "light skin" and "lack of negro dialect" become more interesting in the light of his 2002 comment on the racial controversy that stripped Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., of his leadership position. Over the weekend, his hometown paper highlighted his comments from that time to the Associated Press: *<<< “You play how you practice… If you tell ethnic jokes in the backroom, it’s that much easier to say ethnic things publicly. I’ve always practiced how I play.” >>>* The implication, of course, is that Lott must have been saying lots of racist things behind closed doors for him to praise in public Strom Thurmond's segregationist presidential run of 1948. Perhaps there is a benign reading to Reid's "Negro" comments, but having harshly judged others, Reid now looks like a fool, even if you don't believe he's using the N-word behind closed doors. Moreover, it is obvious why Democrats are rallying to Reid's cause now. He is the Senate Majority Leader, and if he is weakened to the point that on-the-fence Democrats don't believe he can guarantee their sweetheart deals in the future, then the health care bill could fail on its second Senate vote. The liberal tolerance for racism in their ranks appears to be heightened in such a situation, when major ideological goals are at stake. washingtonexaminer.com
