Dem leader who compared Republicans to slavemasters referred to “light-skinned” Obama and “Negro dialect;” Obama accepts apology, praises Reid on “social justice”
It was just last month that Dingy Harry Reid likened Republicans who oppose the government health care to proponents of slavery.
Who’s the real RAAAAAAACIST?
The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama’s race during the 2008 presidential bid and are quoted in a yet-to-be-released book about the campaign.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” Obama is the nation’s first African-American president.
“I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words. I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African-Americans for my improper comments,” Reid said in a statement released after the excerpts were first reported on the Web site of The Atlantic.
Go ahead. Blame Bush for this, buddy. Go right ahead.
Tea Party-basher Janeane Garofalo and her ilk spent the last year lambasting conservatives as racists. Where are they now?
Time to rethink that pledge not to pull a Dodd, eh, Harry?
After hitting a new low in a state poll, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid dismissed speculation that he would pull a Dodd — and follow in the footsteps of Democratic colleague Christopher Dodd, who announced his retirement this week in the face of a losing re-election bid.
After hitting a new low in a state poll, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid dismissed speculation that he would pull a Dodd — and follow in the footsteps of Democratic colleague Christopher Dodd, who announced his retirement this week in the face of a losing re-election bid.
“I am absolutely running for re-election,” the Nevada Democrat told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which commissioned a new poll that found more than half of Nevadans are unhappy with his performance.
“These are difficult times for Nevada and as the majority leader of the Senate, I have been able to take action to address those challenges,” he said Friday in a statement. “But I know there is more work to do to turn our state’s economy around and create jobs and I am committed to seeing it through.”
Famous last words?
***
Question 1 : Will the Washington Post devote as much ink to Reid’s racial comments as they did to George Allen’s “Macaca” moment?
Question 2: Trent Lott resigned his leadership post over his birthday party pandering in praise of Strom Thurmond’s racial segregationist presidential platform. Many conservatives (myself included) put pressure on him to resign. Where are the “progressive” Democrats who will apply the same standards to Reid?
***
Via The Hill: Obama accepts Reid’s apology.
Obama said in a statement that he accepted Reid’s apology.
“Harry Reid called me today and apologized for an unfortunate comment reported today,” Obama said. “I accepted Harry’s apology without question because I’ve known him for years, I’ve seen the passionate leadership he’s shown on issues of social justice and I know what’s in his heart. As far as I am concerned, the book is closed.”
Good point via Allahpundit: “Obama’s already accepted Reid’s apology. How come he didn’t accept Imus’s?”
***
Remember how quick Obama was to condemn the Cambridge police for “acting stupidly?”

How much hypocrisy can one political party swallow?
“Can’t we all just get along?”.
First black President.
All other pseudo-accomplishments are extensions of liberal policies that are yet to be determined, the same failed stuff, but on steroids.
mytake said:
All of it. A badge of honor for them.
Why? What did Reid say that was not correct?
Good Morning…andWow! What a difference a day makes in ObamaWorld:
Before I confuse anyone or be accused of being misleading…the quote above was Obama’s immediate response TO DON IMUS’S racist remarks right after they were uttered.
Here is Obama’s immediate reaction to Reid’s racist remarks:
Question: How do Harry Reid’s racist comments NOT feed into some of the worst stereotypes that Obama’s two daughters are having to deal with today in America?
In other words, Is Obama’s lax attitude towards Harry Reid’s racist comments actually hurting his own daughter’s battle against racial stereotypes in America today?
If so, then why is Obama putting Harry Reid’s reelection chances above the social justice of his own two daughters?
Political power trumps all.
“Social justice” is code-speak for communistic political views. No way any conservative be cut the same slack.
D’oh!
In fact, they would – and have – deliberately taken the Conservative out of context, or simply lied about what he didn’t say to get in their “You’re a RACIST!!” attacks.
It’s why Rush Limbaugh doesn’t own an NFL team.
#115 said:
I agree, and I have always concluded that the liberal world of “social justice” is an elite place that only liberals are born into, or “born again” into.
Liberals seem to imply that, by mere genetic makeup – or as Al Gore so eloquently put, the conservative “extra chromosome” excludes those on the Right from being “socially just.”
Are there any libs here who subscribe to this theory that conservatives are only 3/5 a human being within the political arena of “social justice?”
JH…
Your post 117 does not make any sense.
The one thing that I’ll give the donks is their ability to goose-step in tight phalanx formation when it comes to protecting their own, no matter how outrageous or disgusting the underlying behavior. It’s the seat-saving benefit that always putting power over principle provides.
It’s not up to Obama to accept his apology. Obama does not speak for all blacks, especially not those with dark skin and Negro dialects – those who Reid believes were not electable.
Liberals preach about tolerance but they practice SELECTIVE tolerance. The tolerance for Harry Reid is reserved for those who share their political views. No tolerance for Police who act stupidly or senior conservative policians like Trent Lott or George Allen. It’s so hypocitical that the same actions or words from different people can elicit such different responses.
I’ve always said there should be a true story reported with the political party of the subject switched and see the reponses. For example, report that a conservative republican did something everyone would criticize when it was actualy a liberal democrat. Then after the press and liberals have torched the person for a day or two, reveal that the reports recognized the wrong person and see all the 180 degree head-spinning. It would be so revealing to those that believe everything the dinosaur media says.
technically not even that…he is after all “half white”….
Are people here agreeing that Harry Reid made a “racist” remark?
I think he was being politically honest (not correct, of course) in a private moment of reflection regarding Obama’s chances of carrying white voters.
All of this discussion about whether Reid should be censured by Obama, Sharpton, Garofalo, et al, presumes some agreement that he’s made an error. I don’t think he did. Maybe the anachronism–Negro–is the thing that is bugging some people (in the press.)
I’m no fan of Harry Reid. I’m hoping he Doddles off the political stage soon, but he didn’t make an insensitive or racist remark in this case.
Now, Imus’ misogynistic slur was not really a piece of political analysis, even in the most superficial sense. Comparing the two doesn’t hit the mark.
“It’s so hypocitical”
Based on what I’m hearing at work, large number of Obama voters, people, us common folks, get it. It is only the media that keeps acting like everything is fine.
The fact that common folks are getting it helps explain why media outlets that are in pretend mode keep dropping circulation and viewership.
Just because some of the media allow and foster the hypocricy does not mean it is hypocrisy with immunity.
There is still an ongoing practice of “If the NYT’s doesn’t report it, it can’t be true.”
So if the NYT’s isn’t reporting the turning of the country away from the left, then the country isn’t turning.
Well, again based on my listening to people who were passionate Obama supporters at work, the tide has turned, the hypocrisy has cost a great deal, and we conservatives have reason to be excited in 2010 and 2012.
I think one of the fascinating things of Reid’s statement on Obama is that Obama can speak “black” to people when he wants to. This IS a common speaking characteristic among blacks–to speak with a black dialect when among other blacks. If a gaffe is when someone utters the truth, we can conclude, at least to some extent (and with ample evidence), that Obama does speak differently when addressing blacks in order to play to their “needs.”
That’s still not as horrid as Hillary Clinton speaking southern, black “gospel” to southern blacks. Good God, that was difficult to bear. But both are insulting nonetheless.
“But both are insulting nonetheless.”
I know that is why I never speak “woman” to my wife.
Doug T asks:
By the “strictest” of progressive-liberal standards? Yes.
Imus called a NJ basketball squad “nappy headed hos” and Obama claimed that Imus had to be fired in order to help heal the world that his daughters are growing up in.
By implication, Reid called the Obama girls’ father a “light-skinned Negro” and Obama says Reid should keep his job because Reid has a “socially-just heart.”
Does Obama’s neglect of his daughters’ social justice in this comparable case of racial insensitivity make him a bad father, or a political whore?
I’m guessing Negro is going to make a come back as an acceptable term now. The memo is going out today I’m sure. The “insult” will be minimized by allowing Negro to be used with impunity now.
You watch this week and see. I bet we are going to hear Negro all over the place and some acceptable, well known and authoritative Negro on TV claiming to be proud to be called a Negro and giving folks permission to use the word.
Obama’s acceptance of Reid’s apology should offend the black community. Obama only accepted Reid’s apology, because Obama feels fortunate that he is not cursed with dark skin and a Negro dialect.
Harry Reid will go from being a racist to being a visionary. From using an old word that reminds people of racism to be a contemporary trend setting leader.
He will be thanked for bringing a sense of legacy, history, tradition and dare I say it, roots, to the Negro community.
Chris Rock will do a PSA, “Hi, I’m Chris Rock and I’m a negro. My great grandpappy was a Negro. And I’m proud that today I have decided to be called a Negro. If you are a Negro join me an Ophra and stand up, be proud to be called a Negro.”
#129 said:
Maybe for progressive-libs, friends of Obama and he media elites who are required to quote them…but don’t expect the same verbal permissiveness for individuals like Limbaugh,Palin or Prejean.
Much like hip-hop culture, there will always be words that liberals think others shouldn’t be allowed to use, and be “empowered” by.
I was pointing out how differently Conservatives are treated. I have no idea why it wouldn’t make any sense to you unless you believe that Conservatives and liberals are treated the same over issues of racism.
You watch. Al Sharpton will be on wearing a T-shirt that says, “I’m a Negro” and the 1-800 number to order, “Im a Negro” t-shirts will be scrolling along the bottom of CNN’s screen.
Well JH it makes no sense because it makes no sense. The quote is conservatives would not be cut any slack. Your first phrase is “in fact they would”.
So you are saying conservatives would be cut some slack?
How’s that?
Of course for us whitey’s we’d have to have a t-shirt that says, “Al Sharpton says I can where the Negro t-shirt”.
Or it’ll be a shirt with like a color wheel on it. It will range from light brown to black. And underneath that color scale will be, “We’re all Negros at heart.”
Or maybe it will say, “Some of us are Negros at heart.”
Just like the “retirements” of Dodd, Dorgan I think this remark coming out now is a way to “smear” Reid so the democrats have a way out to explain why he lost his re-election bid. Also, I thought maybe he would resign over this but since Obama has forgiven him I think they’ll use this to say that is why he lost his re-election. The dems are in BIG trouble in 2010 and here comes the excuses and retirements to avoid a devastating loss.
I said this:
I pointed out how Conservatives would and have been accused of racism even though they haven’t said racist things.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Maybe you should read what is actually in my post.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about. Maybe you should read what is actually in my post.”
I did. I did closely. And your post is contradictory and makes no sense.
You can keep making it my problem and somehow I just don’t comprehend what you wrote OR you can look at your post 117 and see you messed up.
I don’t really care.
Me, I’m putting on my “Al Sharpton said I can wear the “I’m a Negro.” t-shirt. I’ll be back after I change.
There was nothing contradictory in my post. I didn’t mess up.
I think your reading comprehension has become the problem. That’s ok. Read whatever you want into my posts – you’re apparently going to anyway.
Ok jh. You win.
Now, on to selling my “I’m a Negro” t-shirts……
How about, “My Negroness has been certified by Harry Reid.”
Or, “You ain’t no Negro till Harry Reid says you be one!”
Really? Since it’s a Dem, get it out now so there is time to recover if possible. If there is no time to recover, and the unwashed masses demand he resign, it gives the dems time to recruit a different hack.
If it were a Republican, wait until the last possible moment, then release it in a coordinated attack with the media to cause as much damage as possible right before the election.
There is some strategy behind releasing it now. Probably won’t be clear for a few weeks though. But there will be that “aha” moment and it makes sense.
That is other then helping me sell t-shirts.
You gotta give Obama credit on one point: he leaped out there to defend Reid’s “racist” comment quicker then he usually responds to Dick Cheney’s remarks…which is quicker than he interrupts his golf game for the bruised chin belonging to a campaign contributor’s son…but not quicker than his average, one-work-week response time towards those who attack our Nation and/or endanger our Citizens.
“quicker then he usually responds”
Like maybe he was at the ready?
Yes, I’m also noting that Obama couldn’t even, at least, get himself to say that Senator Reid (D) “acted stupidly” by saying what he said about a “light skinned Negro’s” chances of winning the White House.
So far, that charge is reserved solely for police officers who do their job.
Uh oh…are you dusting off that ol’ progressive-liberal, 30-day media-cycle strategy: What did _____ know, and when did he know it?
Reid said Obama could do a fake black dialect to win black votes, if he wanted. Just using one of the tricks of the trade. In 2008, black journalist Todd Spivak wrote that Obama’s quick rise — as a powerful legislator in the Illinois senate — was a fakery created by Illinois kingmaker/senator Emil Jones Jr.
Spivak also noted Obama’s fake black preacher cadence:
What is sad about this is that the initial press about this book was about Palin and other minor issues.
The press corpse waited until the end of the week to report anything about Dingy Harry’s comments.
“a fake black dialect”
Its only 1/2 fake right? Its only fake for his white half?
“The press corpse”
Funny by the way.
Obowma is neither a “negro”, nor the first black president (Clinton). But really, Obowma is NOT black, he is interracial. But I guess if some people hear something long enough….
Obowma is neither a “negro”
That would explain why he has no Negro dialect hey?
Now this?

JHS – you are quite correct.
“They” does not refer to conservatives – JHS did not say that conservatives would receive the same slack.
“They” refers to socialists / elitists / media types / etc, etc,…, who:
Hope that helps.
And, folks, let’s not needlessly make disparaging comments to each other, especially over simple misunderstandings like this; after all, we are not socialists.
Obama only worries about his daughters being punished with a baby. A few racial taunts at school or on the street–no biggie, Michelle can deal with that.
ok so granite it would help, if you intend to be helpful, to actually look at the post to which I referred.
I mean if you are going to step into it and all and make it your business maybe you can actually use jh’s post to which I referred?
I mean if you are going to make a point of it………
While I’m no fan of the lawyer-troll and bombthrower, he did agree with the basic premise of the article. So lighten up, please.
Thank you granite – for reading what I actually posted rather than trying to twist it into something else.
I knew there was someone else who understands basic english and context.
Progressives and the liberal press in the 1930′s found a way to excuse Stalin as he starved seven million Kulaks to death and threw missions more into the Gulag’s.
Dream on if you think anything will happen to Harry Reid. The only way he’s going anywhere is at the direction of the people of Nevada.
Amen to granite’s comments in 161. Don’t know what got jsmiddleton4′s britches hitched in a wad, but Post 117 makes perfect sense to me. It is making the point that conservatives get screwed by the media and the liberals. Why would we attack each other over that?
And to jsm4, why be so rude with comments about someone making it their business? This is an open forum and nothing on here belongs to you for your use only. I think granite had as much right to call you out for your comments as you did to call out JHSII. Lighten up. I think we are on the same team.
If Reid does not resign, can the general public outside of his district start a petition for removal?
We need to hold him accountable for his racist statements. There can be no double standard and being a “social justice” advocate does not give you a “Get out of jail free” card.
We must be tenacious in our demand for responsibility from our elected officials and the status-quo of the culture of corruption that exists on both sides of the isle.
Since when did the Dems get to claim “social justice” as their platform? History of the parties doesn’t lead to that conclusion. Even eliminating school vouchers in DC at the beginning of this current year speaks against “social justice” as a plank in this parties platform.
BTW, Negroes with the “e” is not racist. Negroes without the “e” is racist. It’s the potato-potato, tomato-tomato thing. It loses something when you don’t sing the song. Seems kind of minor in the scheme of things. It just gets all Americans to take their eyes off the real problems of the day.
Harry Reid is a nasty old man who is showing us his stripes. This proves he has no redeeming qualities that a person holding public office should have. He is one of a long list of elected officials that need to be shown the door.
I call for Reid to step down!!! Now!
Pass it on!
Regretfully, tempest in a teapot.
The lack of outrage and condemnation in the black and brown “communities” is why Obama will have a 2nd term.

Well Harry Reid is just a “typical white person” even if he did work for “social justice”. No Justice No Peace was the cry as the rioters pulled people from their cars and beat them, looted and burned businesses-except the Koreans to a large part- and shut down cities.
But Dingy Harry was not all wrong; Barack Obama IS light skinned and only has the “Negro” dialect when it suits the moment. Social Justice is Harry Reid as defined by Obama’s Pastor Jeremiah Wright?
Yes this may well be a tempest in a teapot. This may well be the nail in the coffin for Step and Fetch Social Justice Harry. As for Bambi we have three more years of fight but we may just be able to knock off the Majority Leader. Fight the fight you are in-use every weapon.
The 2010 election will tell us a lot.
And now we have this from the AP:
Coming to Esquire next month.
Well trav…. since some of you folks can’t seem to get over it, post 117 makes no sense. I think I know what jh… wanted to say, he didn’t say what he meant to say.
The quote he references is:
“No way any conservative would be cut the same slack.”
And he leads with this:
“In fact, they would – and have –”
So he is saying they would and have been cut some slack?
Oh really?
Rude? Well take it or leave it. Being that you feel the need to join in as well you must want to “take it”.
His post 117 makes no sense. It is contradictory. I don’t really care what that means to you about me or if you think I am or am not rude. Wow, someone reads a post and decides I’m rude. That is really hurtful…..
If someone wants to step into my point please feel free to expect I will respond especially when folks are, as granite, not even referencing the correct post.
Jh… seems to be trying to say there is a double standard. And there is. His post 117 contradicts his own point.
Again, sorry but it is what it is.
I see, so thats why the Libtard Racists basically dragged clarence Thomas and Condi Rice through the mud and got away with it – They did not have the acceptable shade of skin color!! Thank god for the Liberals to clarify that.
The move to normalize and make Negro a good thing has begun.
“I think if you look at the reports as I have, it was all in the context of saying positive things about Senator Obama,” said Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine. “It definitely was in the context of recognizing in Senator Obama a great candidate and future president.”
http://washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jan/10/top-democrat-defends-reid/?feat=home_headlines
And you know that moment when you read post 117 and realize that hey, I might be right and it makes no sense, you realize that dang, I got it right, its just gonna suck but it won’t hurt for long. I promise.
I forgive you already. Or is it rude to forgive?
JSM, you are wrong, and you are digging deeper, getting those of us who were disinterested in your pointless little quarrel to go back to 117 to look and see you are wrong.
It would be wise for you to drop it.
Blagojevich is blacker than Obama? Well he is Time magazine’s No. 2 Elvis impersonator; truly a man of many talents to be sure.
Bill Clinton was America’s first Black President (light skin with no Negro dialect) until he was a race baiter, Miss Hillary is from da Hood.
Well, SOMEBODY in the Senate had to drive Sen. Byrd to the “meetings” – heaven knows he can’t drive himself (he also needs help putting on the hood, lighting the torch, etc.).
Actually, Harry Reid would have been safer using the phrase “colored dialect” rather than “negro dialect”.
My barometer is the oldest colored association in the United States – the NAACP – National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I keep watching their self-titled name and figure when they change it to something else, it is safe to use the word they have chosen for their own organization.
Since the preferred name for colored people changes annually (African-American; Black; etc), I figured I’d stick with the name they refer to themselves by that seems to be a constant.
I tried that once. The blowout nearly killed me. Apparently my tongue is not Z-rated for high speed endurance.
Now see, if Reid had merely said Obama was “articulate and clean,” he could’ve been Vice President!
There is no question that a double standard exists – particularly if you are a white male conservative.
What is good about all this is that there is a slow erosion of the double standard. While Reid will not leave his post and the Democrats will not rise to censure him, the media is at least covering the story. What is also good is that Dingy Harry will almost certainly be out the door in 2010.
By the way, the next step is to develop a Galt network where barter and cash and carry prevent the federal government from taking you money by force.
George Washington stated that “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and fearful master.” It is time that the arrogant, corrupt and unresponsive politicians be taught a lesson about the place of the government in American life.
Well said.
Congressional Black Caucus: We’re Cool With Reid Calling Obama a Light-Skinned Negro
Does this mean its safe for everyone?
No, it shows to everyone its hypocrisy.
TO ME THIS IS MORE AN INDICTMENT OF THE PRESS, IN THAT THEY CAN OVERLOOK A SITTING SENATOR USING THE N WORD, A SENATE MAJORITY LEADER AND A FORMER PRESIDENT AND A VICE PRESIDENT DEMEANING BLACKS BY STEREOTYPING THEM AS IGNORANT, DIRTY, INARTICULATE SERVANT CLASS STEP AND FETCHITS, AND A FORMER PRESIDENT BEING AN ANTISEMITE AND ANOTHER BEING A SEXUAL ASSAILANT IF AND ONLY IF THEY ARE DEMOCRATS. BUT LET A REPUBLICAN STICK HIS TONGUE DOWN HIS STAFFERS THROAT, OR A SENATOR MAKE A QUIP ABOUT AN ELECTION 5O YEARS AGO, OR A CONGRESSMAN WRITE RISQUE EMAILS TO PAIGES, AND THEY ARE ALL RUN OUT OF OFFICE ON A RAIL. NOW IF A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT STICKS HIS WILLY JOHNSON DOWN A STAFFERS THROAT, OH WELL. OR A DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN RUNS A GAY BORDELLO IN HIS HOUSE, OR ENGAGES IN HOMOSEXUAL ACTS WITH A PAIGE BOY IN THE MENS ROOM OF CONGRESS, OH WELL. PUHLEEESE, HYPOCRISY, NO JUST THE PROPOGANDA WING OF THE DNC DOING IT’S JOB OF COVERING THE PERVERTS, CROOKS AND SCOUNDRELS IN IT’S PARTY.
Hey. I called President Obama a liar and he never accepted my apology.
Oh yeah. That’s right. I never apologized.

I speak with a caucasian dialect?
The lame excuses Democrats are offering up for Reid are the worst I’ve ever heard – they’re the equivalent of an antebellum slave defending his master’s right of ownership because he [the owner] gave him a cabin w/ a wooden floor!
which one?!
Obama reacted within hours of Reid’s comments being publicized. By contrast, B.O. took a few days to react to the Fruit-of-the-Loom bomber.
Priorities, priorities.
As usual the guilty only apologize when they get caught.
Michelle: Question 2: Trent Lott resigned his leadership post over his birthday party pandering in praise of Strom Thurmond’s racial segregationist presidential platform.
Me: I thought he resigned because of law changes, so that he could “Cash Out” so to speek, and become, what we need less of, a Lobbyist.
I remember all the Limbaugh crowed crowing on that.
Either way, glad he’s gone.
The black ruling class hate their white liberal partners in crime as much as Republicans. They vote for them and tolerate them because men like Harry Reid “show them the money”.
Let us all not forget, not long after the Trent Lott debacle, that Dodd committed a far more egregious faux pas by praising Robert Byrd, presumably former Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan, stating

As for a man attempting to speak “woman,” in my home any man who attempts to speak “woman” gets an A for effort and is nicely rewarded.
happy2behere: Stop that.
It’s why they call him Mr. Happy.
I keep waitng for the excuse that Harry really did not say these things, he was just repeating what his friend Tommy said.
