The Liberal Double Standard: Okay to be a racist if you are an Obamacrat

Harry Reid insults all African-Americans (the hyphenated term for a group of people who would rather be known as something other than Americans) ("...'light-skinned' black man with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.") and gets away with it -and even confirms that that was his intent by saying in his apology, "I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words," as if there was a better choice of words and way to phrase the insult. When former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, made remarks praising Strom Thurmond in 2002, "When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we [Mississippians] voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years either." The media jumped all over this because at the time the Strom Thurmond ran for president he was a segregationist, a term that Lott did not use nor did he imply at the time he made his comments. It was the media that inserted the term and brought it out into the open and used it to beat up Mr. Lott. Lott apologized, something he really did not need to do because he was not praising Mr. Thurmond's segregationist view, but his strong conservative view, but it did no good. The left was on the warpath and the blacks were up in arms (being redundant here a bit), Lott was a racist and he had to go. He resigned. Well, if Lott had to resign for nothing, then surely Reid has to go for something. Unlike Lott's unintended media implied comment, Reid's comments were pure racism - no media help making them so. He intended what he said and still stands by what he said. The difference is, though, Lott was doing great work for the country, Reid is trying to destroy the country on behalf of the socialist Obama party - Lott bad, Reid good.
