I am about to post a new thread where people of both leanings can probably learn a lot, but probably most will ignore it and all the good information is provides. I learned that most people want to know but don't know a great lot about the early founding days of this nation. You will get a kick out of that site whether everybody does or not.
By all means post it. Be sure to include 1964 and the machinations that took place to pass the Civil Rights Act...a lot of people in this thread need help.
While I think what he said has some truth to it....it was very much in poor taste what Sen. Reid said. If Sen. McConnell said it...Dems and blacks would label him as a racist but its ok that Sen. Reid said it. There is definitely a double standard and a republican would've been asked to step down. I just can't believe how dumb and out of touch Reid is. He should've had more sense than that.
More upset over a one sided poll, then the racist comments being made by Reid, because it was a member of their party. I dont once for a second think you would think "so what" had similar comments been made by a Republican...
You mean like these?

"We are being told that we have to hope [Obama] succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles ... because his father was black."
Quote:
"I do believe" Obama is an "angry black guy."
Quote:
[i]n Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering."
Quote:
Obama is "more African in his roots than he is American" and is "behaving like an African colonial despot.
Quote:
Obama is "Halfrican-American."
Quote:
"Obama has disowned his white half ... he's decided he's got to go all in on the black side."
Quote:
Obama "wants us to have the same health care and plan that he had in Kenya" and "wants to be the black FDR."
Yes he should. It would be hypocritical on behalf of liberals if they said he shouldn't. His comments were racist and shameful. Liberals pride themselves on being different from conservatives in that they are fair and objective so if you are, you have to call a spade a spade.

I would think this comment would qualify Reid to speak at the next CPAC.

But then they might jeopardize the health care steal..
Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%) (only Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%) (this was Senator John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%) (only Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia opposed the measure)
Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%) (Senators Barry Goldwater of Arizona, Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, Edwin L. Mechem of New Mexico, Milward L. Simpson of Wyoming, and Norris H. Cotton of New Hampshire opposed the measure)
Plus more that I didn't copy out of copyright concerns, but you can look at the link yourself. It was very much a northern/southern thing, especially with the Dems.
From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans.
Your friends,
The Nixon Adminstration
Oh yes, and you know what those southern Democratic racists are now?
To think that Steele didn't ask Limbaugh to stop or resign. Instead, Steele booked Limbaugh to speak at the CPAC.
Rush doesnt work for Steele
