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.Do you think if a Republican had said the same thing about Obama he would have been let off with a simple apology? But of course all Harry Reid had to say was he deeply regretted his choice of words.
A Republican would have been called a racist on every major newspaper, magazine and cable outlet. Not only that they would have tried to portray the whole party as the party of racists. But of course when Harry Reid, or any other liberal elite, says something racist. It was just a poor choice of words.
