To be fair and balanced? A LOT more than what happened to Rush
Limbaugh with his "Barack The Magic Negro" song..... To be fair and
balanced, that is.....

Mitch McConnell was smart enough not to engage in this.... he knows,
historically, this is a lose-lose proposition for the Republicans. How
smart are you?

I find it hilarious that the right wanted to make comparisons and
claim a double-standard with Trent Lott.

They forgot about good ol' boy Trent puting his leg in his mouth on
any number of ocassions and no one being eager to rush to his aid.

Including his own party peers.

Aparrently not smart enough to be afraid to ask How it's going. Has it
been swept under the rug already. There certainly is a lot of dirt under
that rug, don't you think?

Not much. The dems are rallying around him. It's OK for them to make such comments but if you sit on the other side of the aisle, heaven help you.

Come on... he said something in a clumsy way that's probably got some truth
to it. He's got a long history of civil rights.

I think what Clinton said (about serving coffee) was much more
mean-spirited, and he should have known better.

Trent Lott was a serial asshole and that's the best example the
Republicans can muster.

Says it all.

To be even further fair and balanced you can castigate the LA Times for
originating "Barak the Magic Negro"

Mitch McConnell was smart enough not to engage in this.... he knows,

I guess it is ok for Democrats to be racists, in the name of fairness
and balance. They, the Democrats, are the party of slavery, the KKK,
segregation and other atrocious actions and activities against the non-
whites.

And that's why so many Americans of color showed up and were welcomed at
the 2008 Republican National Convention, and why there are so many
American politicians of color who are Republicans.

Read up on the Southern Strategy.

I agree. Reid probably talks a lot more candidly around his white
friends back in Nevada and this just slipped out. It wasn't really
that long ago that Nevada was Jim Crow. About as long ago as Alabama.


I don't think it was a matter of being more or less candid. I think it was
just a poor choice of words. If you're in someone's mobile home, would you
go out of your way to claim that the white trash who live in trailer are
more prone to tornado attacks or would you say that people who live in
mobile homes are more prone to tornado attacks? See the difference. He was
inarticulate.
