It must be one hell of a dilemma when a educated person must speak like he is from the hood, otherwise he is criticized for sounding “White”. If Obama accomplishes one thing, may it be that it is OK to sound “white” (good communicator).

Drudge has this story headlined now also. Harry Reid will not be reelected this November. One too many gaffes not to mention his complete corruption in garnering the 60 votes to pass Reid/Pelosi/Obamacare. He’s toast.

I mostly agree but who knows what’ll happen in 10 months?

Anyone could beat Senator Reid.

How bad are Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid’s poll numbers? So bad that the newspaper that conducted the latest poll asked Reid if he would run for re-election at all.

Good for Harry. Sad he said it in front of some scumbag he thought he could trust, but his comment was totally relevant during the campaign year and EVERYBODY knows it.

Besides he was 100% correct in his comments and anyone who chooses to call it “racist” is a dumb scumbag.

It was true. Obama was light which made it more appealing to a mass white population.

Obama talked white most of the time in speeches, but I noticed long ago how he would conveniently slip into his ghetto slang when he needed to.

The art of “hope” and “change” that so many bought into, thus taking, stealing the election from a woman who would have made a great president.

See, this Liberal has no problem with Reid’s statement or his apology. He, like many whites were under the impression that all African Americans speak slang. They don’t. Now, the real misconception is that all whites speak, well it’s not white, it’s proper english. But, we know that’s not true. Just listen to Sarah Palin. The people who speak proper english are just better educated. One of the reasons that Palin appeals to some people is because she sounds every bit as uneducated as they do. When they say, she’s just like us, they must mean ignorant, uneducated and unpolished. As for Reid, Liberals are hoping he gets his clock cleaned because we think he’s weak as a Majority Leader. Let’s all just hope that the $25 million dollars he has to spend on his campaign isn’t enough to buy him reelection. Although, Bloomberg did OK!

Palin is a dumb ass hillbilly. She can’t pronouce the word Nuclear. Nukeular? She can’t pronounce the word ideals. She says idills. She’s an ignornat hillbilly who couldn’t even complete her term as govenor. As for talking white, there’s no such thing.

Take your heads out of your asses!

Still smarting because Obama kicked the Republican party’s ass? Ha Ha Ha Ha!

By the way, anyone who thinks they can win an election but, is too afraid to show up on Meet The Press or This Week is the real scumbag! And why do you think she won’t subject herself to an interview with a real journalist? Why does Palin only make comments from facebook and twitter? Is she afraid of anyone who doesn’t work at fox? I guess Couric, “the perky one” really scared her. Pitt Bull? More like a french poodle!

Can’t wait to get my hands on this book!

How about reading the President’s response. At least we can tell that he actually wrote it!

In response, President Obama issued the following statement:

Harry Reid called me today and apologized for an unfortunate comment reported today. 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.

By the trickeltown, if you can’t wait for the book, I suggest you tune into 60 minutes tomorrow night! Steve Schmidt is going to be on. I assume you know who he is?

Is it really that shocking that a limousine liberal can also be racist? Hardly.

Are you going to watch 60 minutes tomorrow?

Schmidt and his agenda against Palin are but a small part of the upcoming book. The Obama campaign is also dissected and nobody comes out un-scathed.

Yes, I will be watching. “You Betcha!”

Do you expect anything else from a career liberal progressive politician?

Good for you!

Do you expect this from liberal progressive politicians?

As I’ve previously posted here on this site. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, since 1959 private sector job growth under Dems is 11.7% while under Republican it’s 5.4%. My question is, why would anyone with a brain ever vote Republican? Do they have something against private sector job creation. You know, the one where rich people get big tax breaks like under Bush and they take that money and invest in creating jobs here in the US. Of course, that didn’t happen because that’s just bullshit that the GOP feeds to their ignorant supporters. 22 million jobs created during Clinton’s 8 years and zero net growth jobs under Bush. If they told you what I just did, you’d never vote for them again. Unless you’re just stupid. I’ll take Liberals in office on those stats alone. What about the rest of you?

Once again Cocksteady is trying to deflect any criticism of his fellow racists in the DNC. Watch this markass bitch, all he ever does is whine about Sarah Palin this and Bush that. You’re a fucking joke little boy. Your just another ignorant, racist leftwing bitchass whiny liberal. And that shit is a trip.

Cocksteady, get ready, your bitchass libs are getting raped in 2010. Get those Kleenex ready and some tampons to put up your ass, might help control some of the bleeding you bitch.

And the Rev Al is fine with it all….so peace be at hand for the racists in the democrat party. Oh and btw, Bill Clinton said “a few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee.” I’m sure Obama and the Rev Al will be fine with that as well. The double standard is just too damn funny.

Who is the racists? Harry Reid, as I posted previously was simply ignorant of the facts. I continue to bash Palin because she’s an ignorant hillbilly grifter and someone in previous comments brought her up. It’s clear that marquis3.1 is the real idiot. No comment on the substance of what I posted about Dems, Republicans and jobs? It’s astonishing that stupid, wingnut, toothless banjo players and teabaggers will always pivot when they’ve been bitch slapped with the facts!

Actually, it’s called the Democratic Party. Only teabaggers refer to it as the Democrat party. Oh, and now Bill’s wife works for him. I guess he was wrong on that front too. Obama beat Bill’s wife like a rented mule.

So! Obama is ‘clean, articulate, light-skinned and without negro dialect,’ according to Libs. Not any racism there!

cocksteady, you forgot your white sheet with your boy Robert Byrd,. you’re late for the Klan meeting. This is how these racists Doucheocrats roll. They try deflecting and protecting their own. Cocksteady is on some of that Whtiepower stuff…bitch let me catch you slippin son! Where you at??

Cocksteady, admit it, your Doucheocrats are in disarray, you can’t stop the fallout son! Quick find a bunker, the shits about to hit! 2010 and 2012, you’re getting worked harder than Kim Kardashian by Ray Jay son! HAAA!

Dream on morons! You’re party has more people leaving than the Dems! Stupid asswipes! I have to go but, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon! While I’m gone, try to think of a response for the GOP’s poor job creation record you dildos!

Cocksteady, I know you have to go to work but don’t worry, I won’t come down to your job and knock the dicks out of your mouth. Son, I know reality hasn’t set in yet, but please believe, 2010 will be a collective raping of the DNC, let the takeover begin! Open wide, here comes a nutsack from a teabagger for the Teabaggies! Markass trick! HA!

Back when Trent had his “fauxpax” Obama said it was the responsibility of the republicans to drive him out of the party, despite his apology. Today, Obama tells Reid, hey no biggie you are kewl, pass my agenda, I love you, yada yada yada. The Rev Al agrees. The same Rev Al who went after Trent Lott. Of course, the media will never discuss this complete disparity, but they will support it, embrace it, and all the tea party patriots the racists. Mediagate continues, the corruption and collusion between media and the DNC is absolutely stunning.

Hey marquis – Couldn’t be happier that you represent the teabaggers…very unfortunate (I know its a big word but look it up in something called “the dictionary” ) for your cause that you have the IQ of an ingrown toe-nail.

marquis3.1? At least do something original…of course that would require something called “thinking” which is also in the dictionary…big book…lot’s of words.

Ted, you’re old, you’re whiny, you’re a little tittybaby who knows he fucked up in life. Your father left you at a young age so you’ve always gone through life hating and distrusting any kind of authority. You are the definition of a pussyass bitch. I feel for you old man.

marquis – I’ll bet you are typing (or at least trying to type) at the library as I doubt you can afford a computer of your own. No worries…no shame in that. Do you know what a “dictionary” is? If not, let me know. I really don’t want to make fun of someone who is so obviously brain damaged as you are. Let me know. We are all here to help.

‘Since 1959, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, under Republcians, private sector job growth is 5.4% while under Democrats, it’s 11.7%. That’s right, nearly twice as much. When you’re out there chanting with teabagger politicians or Republicans and Conservatives, you’re cheering for an impotent style of government. What does that say about you?’

Naturally, you are convinced that a president or government SHOULD BE charged with growing the economy, not the individuals.. You could analyze these statistics to say that Republicans put the right policies into place, only to be ruined by Democrats, spending, when Republicans return to power. Economic policies do not immediately take effect in a market and do not immediately disappear either, there are forces at work that are likely impossible to measure(global warming). What is clear is that lowering taxes is by far the best way to stimulate an economy.. and lets face it, democrats don’t lower taxes, they raise them. Using that statistic like a law of physics, what does that say about you?

Keep up the good work on making utopia.. it will all end well like it has in the past.

I’m back and the idiot who quoted me can’t read. Those individuals you spoke of is exactly what I was talking about. That’s what private sector job growth is. Individuals starting companies and creating jobs. The government doesn’t create private sector jobs. Now, are you seriously trying to tell me that the 22 million jobs Clinton created over 8 years was the result of Republicans in office 8 years earlier? As for tax cuts, the Republicans always cut taxes for the rich. As I said, Bush gave them 2 over 8 years. When Obama took office he cut taxes for the middle class. Anyone who makes less than $250,000 a year got a tax cut. Republicans cut spending and the economy tanked because while private sector jobs were being lost, they did nothing to stimulate job growth.

You said

“What is clear is that lowering taxes is by far the best way to stimulate an economy” You got that part right but, when you added ” and lets face it, democrats don’t lower taxes, they raise them.” you vered back into ignorant, uninformed, teabagger, wingnut speak. I defy anyone on this page right now to tell me I’m wrong!

This is why Liberals think righties are stupid. They prove it everytime they open their mouth.

So, I guess it was Harry Reid who put the word “negro” in the 2010 census that is also causing a stir.

Obama accepts apology — media working overtime to shut the story down.

Too bad Lott didn’t get the same kind of treatment by Obama or the media (or is this just more proof that Obama leads the media around by their noses)?

As Melissa Harris Lacewell, who is a professor of African American studies at Princeton University stated on Rachel Maddow last night, the reason they put the word back in was because older African Americans, actually 3% of them who filled out the previous census saw the choices of Black or African American but the word Negro was gone so, they wrote in Negro. It’s a generational thing. The census people put it back in this year and will evaluate the results before the next census. This is the kind of info you just can’t get watching fox. This is a non story and while the media has proven themselves to be lazy and in many cases, incompetent, this story is all over the blogs. The President accepted Reid’s apology, see even Reid thought the word Negro was still in vogue. It’s a generational thing.

Quite interesting that this popped up just as there was talk about the census stuff. They’re both connected.

Hey guys Beverly Linz here (BJL411) I was just kidding when I posted above, I like to come off like a fake conservative and do that over the top stuff like do the exclamation marks and let the number (!!!!1) hang off the end, I like to think that I’m like an online Steven Colbert! Anyways, I live right off the 215 HWY (Bruce Woodbury Beltway) in NV, so Harry Reid is my representative so I get really passionate when there are articles that put him in a negative light. Not having many interactions with colored people living in Nevada, it might be understandable why Mr. Reid would come off as possibly offensive, but I assure you there is no harm meant. I can’t wait for the elections in November, because Harry Reid WILL be reelected…this nonsense about the healthcare talks being broadcast on CSPAN doesn’t really matter, they shouldn’t be! They should be decided by us liberals, and no one else! We are in charge!!!

Nice insults, I’m truly hurt and I’m sure everyone reading agrees with you regarding my latent stupidity. You address my question of government controlling the economy instead of individuals with:

‘Those individuals you spoke of is exactly what I was talking about. That’s what private sector job growth is. Individuals starting companies and creating jobs. The government doesn’t create private sector jobs. Now, are you seriously trying to tell me that the 22 million jobs Clinton created over 8 years was the result of Republicans in office 8 years earlier?’

You did not understand the question or you are misdirecting it.. maybe without even knowing it by now..

‘As for tax cuts, the Republicans always cut taxes for the rich. As I said, Bush gave them 2 over 8 years. When Obama took office he cut taxes for the middle class. Anyone who makes less than $250,000 a year got a tax cut.’

I remember getting a nice little $600 check from the Bush stimulus.. what did I hear about the Obama tax cut? like $12 bucks a month for a year? Maybe you can enlighten me cause I still pay 20-25% (I don’t make exactly the same amount each week). Of course you advocate for taxing rich people(which I imagine is at a threshold above you conveniently), while not taxing anyone below the ‘level.’ You do believe this, do you not? Taxing rich people and giving money to poor people?

‘Republicans cut spending and the economy tanked because while private sector jobs were being lost, they did nothing to stimulate job growth.’

So we should have made the $787 billion dollar stimulus sooner? Under Bush? If you agree cutting taxes allows the economy to grow, what about this stimulus(30% of which was spent last year, with the rest in this election year) do you think will work(besides buying votes)?

And more insults.. there’s the class.

Actually, I’m making an extra $100 dollars a month because of Obama’s tax cut. I guess it depends on where you live and how much money you make. If it’s $12 dollars, you have a shitty job! As for the healthcare debates, Obama did promise to show them on CSPAN. Didn’t you see them? I’m not sure I need to see any more stupid ass Republicans literally reading their talking points off a piece of paper and repeating themselves over and over. I’m single with no dependents so, I pay more than most people. I don’t expect the government to spend needlessly. It’s just that during the Great Depression it was increased spending that helped us to recover. See, when you have millions of people out of work, the revenue that the government normally takes in is now less. Less workers, less taxes. The best way to get the economy going would be to create jobs. Oh, and that stimulus should have been more but, the Democrats allocated 40% of it to tax cuts at the request of the Republicans who still voted against it. Vote Republican at your own peril!

‘I like to think that I’m like an online Steven Colbert’

How creative. You do just as good a job.

OHHHHHHHHHH, I understand now. Thanks for clearing that up.

By the way, give it up with the buying votes bullshit. It’s teabagger speak. Try to deal with the ass kicking that the Dems dished out without going into fantasy land. Is that what they told you on fox? That the Dems stole the election? Obama was right about you idiots voting against your own interest. You don’t make more than$250,000 a year and you got a tax cut whether you like it or not. I don’t suppose you’re refusing to accept it, are you?

Smear artist.

You do know that Steven is a Liberal, right?

I’m really looking forward to see Glynnis’s post on the John Edwards stuff that is coming out with this book. Hooo boy…..the media covered up for John during his campaign, but this book is scathing on Edwards. (ace has the goodies on the Edwards stuff).

This is absolutely brilliant. An educated and supposedly insightful liberal says something that is blatantly racist and his wan apology — provoked after the fact once it was revealed — is not only accepted but he is praised for making it. Yet anyone on the right side of the aisle who makes anything critical policy-wise is branded as a hateful racist who must be removed from office because their prejudice is embedded in their DNA.

Based on what we’ve been lectured should not Reid be more hateful because not only is he on the “correct” side of this issue but he has been incubated in the heartfelt party all along? Therefore he should be MORE aware of the hateful tone these words carry when spoken, or am I assuming too much with a leader such as himself?

Wow, how amusing it is to witness the contortions sychophants have to make when one of their own talk in the manner they assume their opponents speak.

So, do you think he was wrong to apologize or have you got your knicker in a twist because the President accepted it?

The double standard is truly amazing. Obama tells Lott to get out, Obama tells REid to stay in. The media go after Lott, the media give Reid a pass. Racism is a-ok if your a democrat, just ask Bobby Byrd.

By the way we Liberals find John Edwards to be a disgrace. See, unlike wingnuts who have Mark Sanford David Vitter and John Ensign still in government with out a peep from any of them, John Edwards was exposed and is history. Read the liberal blongs once in awhile and you’ll see that we’re free thinkers. We can judge for ourselves when someone has disgraced themselves. We’re just glad he got off the stage. Too bad we can’t say the same for the 3 stooges!

As for the supposedly racist census I have a question — which of these groups is also racist?

The United NEGRO College Fund

The NAACP ( National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People)

The Congressional BLACK Caucus

I agree it is a generational issue, but that is because every generation seems to be lectured with a new terminology, yet orginizations established under those terms persist today. Why then are we criticised for using terms we have been directed to use in the past?

You just answered your own question. It’s the past. Do you use the term Negro? Maybe if you’re an older person like Reid and that was the term “IN THE PAST” then, we get it. Maybe you’re from the Civil Rights era? Why do you think any of them are racists? The NAACP is the most antiquated of them. The CBC members are of another generation as well. If you look up the word racism it doesn’t have any of those terms in it’s description.

I meant. why do you think any of those terms are racists?

Mediaite used to be cool.

I’m leaving you all for a party but, before I do, there’s just one more thing I’d like to share with you. Many of you have ventured into territory that you know nothing about. Many of you here have made the same mistake that Reid did in assuming that all African Americans speak one way and all whites speak another. As I stated previously, there’s no such thing as speaking white or black. Those are colors. Either you’re educated and can speak english clearly or you’re uneducated and you don’t. It has nothing to do with your race. To prove my point, I’m guessing by many of the responses here that not one of you has picked up on the fact that I’m an African American female. Surprise wingnuts! I’m assuming there are all sorts of new names you’d like to call me now. I’m better educated and better read than many of you rubes. I speak 2 languages and will soon add another one. Au revoir teabaggers!

And Roxie — if your party is so stringent on accountability why is it that we were told Tim Geithner was the ONLY man in DC who could handle the complexities of TARP, yet was completely befuddled by Turbotax, and appointed anyway? And Charlie Rangle is in charge of the tax code in Congress yet Pelosi refuses to even peer into his multiple tax avoidances in his personal life.

And remember all that demonizing of Ken Starr for being a witch-hunter looking into the private life of Clinton? The only reason Starr was a known entity was because Clinton hired him to dig into the private sexual escapades of Bob Packwood. Same ethics involved. Packwood was chased out of office, Clinton was defended to the end.

Why did the Rev Al and Obama accept Reid’s apology but not IMUS’s?

Roxie, you hinge so much on education yet speak in a completely unhinged manner. You are among the first to accuse others of racism and stupidity, and yet you are presented with a blatant example of one of your own dear leaders speaking in a way far more offensive and what do you do? You defend him and applaud him.

There is absolutely no reason to even entertain a single utterance from again based on that alone. You are a partisan and nothing more. Whatever education you claim in this space cannot eclipse the utter ignorance you display because of your prejudice. Your skin color is of no matter, your intolrance is what rise to the fore.

It’s funny how roxsteady says something like THAT.. and has contempt for tea party protesters or anything else for that matter. What an arrogant little..

.. smear artist.

‘Obama was right about you idiots voting against your own interest. You don’t make more than$250,000 a year and you got a tax cut whether you like it or not. I don’t suppose you’re refusing to accept it, are you?’

Yeah, I refuse to keep my own money.

Maybe someday I can go through life just answering the questions I want to answer.. then I could be an intellectual!! by ‘intellectual’ standards anyhow.

These comment threads have become so nasty that I feel the need to go watch my DVR’d episodes of “Jersey Shore” to cleanse my heart and soul.

Anyone who stands up for Reid or anyone else on the left who still thinks Obama is anyone different then the typical politician is a complete idiot!
They are all one step away from selling used cars. In fact, they couldnt get a job selling cars because none of them have any experience in the working world. especially our own countries CEO Mr Obama…. WIth not one private sector job ever under his belt….. Not even working at Starbucks..or McDonald’s… Gee now he knows about business and how to handle the economy….
If anyone knows history we are repeating history with The fall of the Roman Empire” …We are at its end with political Correctness killing us. and becoming a nanny state by individuals who do not contribute to the economy but want everyone else to give. This is Reid and Obama leading this cause….

When Roxie says she is leaving us all “for a party”, of course that means that her keeper has arrived with the meds….she will drool a little as they take effect…perhaps a self satisfied burp as she slips into unconsciousness.
Tomorrow is another day….she will arise….put on her Phantom of the Opera mask and robes…sit down at the keyboard she plays in the same mad manner as the Phantom. Instead of music and song, there will be vicious name calling and nasty invective…. even some cogent reasoning that is sadly lost in all the ugliness, as she screams incoherently at her monitor….. hour after hour.
