CBSs Smith: Harry Reid Very Soberly Compared GOP to Slavery Supporters

[cocobear33]

so if steel is a token negro to the right then that would make obama a token nergo to the left

[brianbozowski]

half, Obama is half black.

[highwater03]

Would you say that if you saw him walking down the street?

[brianbozowski]

In the unlikely event I run into him at the mall and it came up in conversation, yea I'd remind him he's half black raised in a white household. It's true, no?

[highwater03]

Oh God.

Let's start over.

If Obama was some random person that you have never known and you saw him on the street, would you say to yourself, "there goes a half black man"?

No you wouldn't. You would say he was black.

[brianbozowski]

You should have explained yourself better the first time. OK, I'll play along. Actually, if I saw him as a random person walking down the street I wouldn't think anything of it unless he drew undue attention to himself like if he was picking his nose or smoking a doobie. But in reality, where I live, BO is half white and half black. That be the fact.

[highwater03]

If you had to give a description of Obama (and not knowing who he was), you would describe him as a lean, tall, BLACK male. You wouldn't even know he had a white mother just by looking at him.

[VegasBilgeRat]

the true craziness of Reid's ludicrous statement, is that it is supremely ironic.

Can you all guess what party, almost as a whole, was against civil rights legislation? Can you guess which party had more to do with standing in the way of blacks becoming free?

DEMOCRATS!!!

it is simply mind-boggling that the majority of blacks line up behind the very party that keeps them down. Conservatives are color blind. Liberals point out race at every opportunity.

[dmaul7]

So true,amazing that 93% of blacks vote democrat, the party they support does nothing but oppress them.

[highwater03]

Huh?

This can't be.

I thought blacks only voted for Obama because he was black.

Now you're saying they vote Dem anyway?

Wow! Shocker.....................*s­igh*

[MultiDave45]

AMEN!!! The Demoncrats were the orginators of RACISM!! I cannot believe so many blacks and other minorities march to their fascist BS!!!

[highwater03]

"Conservatives are color blind"?

Is that why it took a black President from the Dem Party to get a black head of the GOP?

[VegasBilgeRat]

You're the perfect example of what I'm talking about. There havent been many decent black conservatives who've made themselves available to become president. You look at skin color like it means anything. It doesn't. Conservatives will welcome any candidate who shares principles, regardless of their color. People like you voted for Obama BECAUSE he was black, as if that somehow had anything to do with anything.

[highwater03]

@VegasBilgeRat

"Conservatives will welcome any candidate who shares principles, regardless of their color."

Can I get lie of the night for $500 Alex?

Alan Keyes, who is to the right of both Bush AND McCain didn't even get considered by you hypocrites. You keep nominating big spending Republicans and leave "black conservatives" like Keyes in the wilderness. Please.........

[highwater03]

"People like you voted for Obama BECAUSE he was black, as if that somehow had anything to do with anything."

$13 billion a month in Iraq, failed healthcare, failing economy, failing financial sector, housing sector, $500 billion deficit, $11 trillion in national debt, and all you can say is we voted Obama because of his race. Please. You have to do better than that. A frog would have been "liberal McCain" as you all called him.

[highwater03]

"People like you voted for Obama BECAUSE he was black, as if that somehow had anything to do with anything."

Hmmm........seems like you're the one focusing on race. Hypocrite much?

Oh, and 90-95% of blacks voted for Clinton twice, Gore, and Kerry before you start bitching about that. And Hillary was leading among blacks before S.C. See? I have facts. All you have are racist GOP typical rants. Fuck off.

[VegasBilgeRat]

Pointing out YOUR focus on race in no way makes me focusing on race. I'm focusing on the sheep morons like yourself who put race above issues.  You're a very angry person, angry for all the wrong reasons. -Not unlike your hero Obama!

[highwater03]

You put race above issues. You're claim that Obama won because of his race makes YOU a bigot, because all you can see is his race.

[highwater03]

And as soon as a black graduates college, you'll give a high school dropout drug addict white a job before the black graduate. So you can fuck off.

[SluttyScarlett]

Hey look the Repugs put their token Negro out front on this one!

[KrGsMrNKusinagi0]

man the democrats have no shame

[SenorZorrozzz]

Calling his opponents pro slavery on the house floor! Reid must resign!
