I think the point is that we don't know if it was racist or not. We don't know if what Trent Lott said was racist either.
Still, Democrats were screaming from the rafters for Lott's resignation. Yet not a peep from Democrats about Dingy Harry's "light skinned Negro dialect" comment or Bubba's "get my coffee" comment. There is a double standard.
Reid's comments I can understand ... Clinton's I don't.
How do you spin what Clinton said as racist?
I had this explained to me, inside baseball style, by a lawyer. Clinton's comment was a classic senior lawyer slam of a junior lawyer. Goes on all the time. I told him not one rightwinger will buy that, no matter how true it might be.
Both sets of comments were racist. The diff here is that the Dems want to keep Reid while the Pubs so wanted Lott gone. The GOP got a 2-fer: Lott gone, the Dems to blame. I happen to agree: Harry Reid must resign.
I agree. There is nothing racist at all when powerful two white men discuss their preferences in negroes. Personally, I prefer a negro that is light skinned, clean, and without a negro dialect. Some people say it does helps if the negro fetches coffee.
Not even by a hair.Really?Where was Obama's race mentioned in what Clinton said?
You are going to stick with that position in the light of every GOP'er who has been called a racist for simply opposing Mr. Obama's policies; having never mentioned his race at all....
And are you really going to stick with that position knowing full well that a negro serving coffee to two powerful white men doesn't have any racial connotations at all?
I've already heard the stretch ( I think the left have pulled their collective hammies with this one) that Clinton said it because Mr. Obama was an aide and aides always bring the coffee.
What you claim is a "stretch" is a lot more likely than what you are peddling.
Well, as Rush said. I am sure that Ted "Where is my car?" Kennedy was pissed off because people of real couth know that the women bring the coffee. His blacks brought him his booze.I agree.

He won't need to resign. His reelection chances stand a snowballs chance...Both sets of comments were racist. The diff here is that the Dems want to keep Reid while the Pubs so wanted Lott gone. The GOP got a 2-fer: Lott gone, the Dems to blame. I happen to agree: Harry Reid must resign.
It's not going to happen but if Reid resigns, good riddence.

Far too often, the left either are racists, or they condone racism in others of their own party for the sake of power.
I don't recall who the politician was, but when it was reported that they were throwing Oreo cookies at him just for being a Republican, the left defended the action. It turned out later to be a false report. But the damage had been done. It was the left defending despicable actions, yet again, for the sake of party.
Sorry. Clinton's little slip is a perfect insight into who he is, his racist attitudes and his willingness to do anything to get that shrew of a wife out of his house.

Harry appologized for saying it...Referring to Obama.
Teddy's anger - Ben Smith - POLITICO.com
A]s Hillary bungled Caroline, Bill’s handling of Ted was even worse. The day after Iowa, he phoned Kennedy and pressed for an endorsement, making the case for his wife. But Bill then went on, belittling Obama in a manner that deeply offended Kennedy. Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.
Amazing.
Wasn't it George Allen that got run out of town because he uttered the word, "macaca"?
Now we see Clinton reffering to bama as a servant and Reid saying "at least he doesn't have a negro dialect"....
The funniest thing about this is...this quote is all heresay.
Look at the source for crying out loud...the Republican and RW tool...Politico.com. FOXNews on the net.
Try again Neo-Cons.

Gee you must feel like a dick now.

You are prolly talking about Michael Steele and I doubt the collective "left" defended the imaginary oreo throwing.
No, I think a you are definitely strrrrrrrrrrretching to try to paint what he said as racist. Context matters and in this case "a few years ago" Barack Obama was a nobody in the Illinoise State Senate and if he were around Clinton and Kennedy that is what his role would have been. It has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with rank and status in the party.
Y'all are making something over nothing. It's manufactured outrage.
