Where are all the leftist loon bedwetters, who jumped Trent Lott's shit for sucking up to 100-year old man on his birthday?
Where are all the rightie nutjob toetapping bootlickers, who defended trent lott for wishing that the segregation supporting dixiecrat party won the presidency?
Besides that there is NO comparison between the two and only desperate righties out to try and use any and every tiny little thing that they believe they can spin against the democrats would stoop to pretending that there is a comparison. LOL
Of course this isn't the first time the right has dishonestly tried to make something out of nothing to score political points and I doubt it will be the last.
I ssem to recall that many repunblicans in congress called for his resignation. Likewise, GW Bush did not offer him any kind of support.

Do you really believe that the senate majority leader saying that lighter skin makes him a viable candidate is nothing?
I am surprised at how this racism thing in the US has subsided. We can comment on the darkness of skin and openly talk about how different shades lend different levels of credibility.
Or is this a site where the left likes to downplay things when it its the left that does it.
Can you explain exactly how Reid's comments were offensive? Offensive to Whites perhaps, indicating that it would take a half white black person that speaks just like educated Whites do, to get elected by the majority white citizens....then yes, it was offensive to whites perhaps? But how was it offensive or racist?Why aren't the Lott defenders defending Reid?
Lott's own party wanted him out after that was made public.
I for one agreed with the decision to get rid of lott for the same reasons i am upset with reid, his comments were offensive and not acceptable in any congressperson.
Do you believe that if Obama was not educated and did not speak in the same mannerisms or way as the White people that helped elect him did, that they would have voted for him and got him elected?
Harry, was insulting white people and the prejudices that lie within that race, no?

Lott's own party did call for his removal, not all of them, but enough of them.
There was NO DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP that called for the resignation of Trent Lott....because Lott's position is gotten by Republican vote only, the Dems do not choose the leader of the Republican Senate.
Why is it then that the Republicans in office are requesting that Reid be removed as leader of the Democratic Senate?
...On Monday, however, Al Gore spoke up. In an interview with CNN's Judy Woodruff Monday, Gore said, "It is not a small thing, Judy, for one of the half dozen most prominent political leaders in America to say that our problems are caused by integration and that we should have had a segregationist candidate. That is divisive and it is divisive along racial lines. That's the definition of a racist comment."...
Neither did Trent Lott...But that didn't stop you barking moonbats from howling when he kissed Strom Thurmond's ass at his 100th birthday party.
So you admit that reid did nothing wrong and yet that hasn't stopped hypocritical and dishonest righties from trying to make something out of nothing all for political gain.
Thanks for the admission. LOL
I am really surprised. You really dont think that evaluating someone based on the shade of their skin is not insensitive to ones race.
I find that hard to believe.

Racial insensitivity does not deal with comments that are false.
Racial insensitivity refers to comments made that are true, but considered insensitive.
People lose jobs due to racial insensitivity.
Take it away from race. Lets go to appearance. To tell a fat person that he or she is fat is insensiutive, but true. If Reid had referred to a lady in his state as "the fat woman in the third row" would he get a pass becuase she is?

Why are you asking me questions about the other posters opinion that both reid and lott did nothing wrong?? Why didn't you ask the other poster??
Besides that weren't their polls done around the election that showed some DO in fact evaluate a candidate based on the shade of their skin??
So you see nothing wromg with the senate majority leader saying IMPLYING that dialect and skin color, IN HIS EYES, are issues that are considered for candidates?
You are so partisan you will let anything a democrat says go as "nothing to see here folks...move along"
I find it pathetic
Do you even know what reid was quoted as saying?? He was refering to obama as a presidential candidate and how his attributes would help him. You are really good at reading something into a statement when it doesn't really exist. LOL
Are you actually denying that where some people are concerned that race isn't an issue to be considered for candidates??
You are so partisan you will try make something out of nothing continuously out of desperation in an attempt to claw your way back into the majority, no matter what it takes.
As usual I find your desperation very pathetic. LOL
Yes, I heard and read (on the news) the entire quote.
He made it clear that his ability to adjust to the audience gave him an advantage. I am OK with that.
But he also said that his light skin color gave him an advantage as well. This too, may be true, but I am not convinced of it as being true.
But regardless, true or not, it fives the people reason to believe that even the senate majoerity leader believes that lighter skin is best for a candidate.
Thjere are certain things someone ion the spotlight should never say. Whether he believes it or not.
As for Partisan.....I fear you are calling the kettle black.
I voted Obama......and I do not like what I heard from Reid. How on earth can you?
I just realized you responded to someone else. Why did you not respond to me?
Does anyone remember that cop who supposely did something really racist by asking the black assailant some questions? Does anyone remember how quickly Obama came out and denounced the cop as racist?
Does anyone remember how quickly Obama denounced Harry Reid? Does anyone remember how the NAACP came out and denounced our racist society? Does anyone remember the television shows about racism in America?
NO. No one remembers because the latter did not happen. It did not happen because politics comes before race for democrats.
It is simple to describe in either one or 2 words...take your pick
Hypocracy.
Double Standard.
Are my posts not visible or are am I being ignored becuase no one likes the fact that someone who voted for Obama was insulted by the remarks of Reid?
I, as a white man, found his remarks racist and insulting toward me.
He is saying i'm too racially minded to vote for a darker than obama black man with a different vocabulary.....thanks Reid you asshole.

WOW so pilgrim ASSUMES that reid was referring specifically to him. LOL way to self persecute. LOL
Are you denying that there are still some in this country who use race as factor when decided which candidate to vote for??
It's disingenuous at best to pretend that, in this country, the hue of one's skin, MAY be a hindrance to one's success or climb in the social ladder. Especially among a certain group. Let's not act like America's history is not America's history.I, as a white man, found his remarks racist and insulting toward me.

So I can't take offence to someone's prejudice against me? How conservative of you.
