Reid apologizes for 'no Negro dialect' comment

Tom Jones said:
No it's not nonsense - the press covered some of the protesting because it was news - they did not pound JFK or Johnson - the operative word being "pound" - not until Nixon inherited the war did the press start pounding on about the war - and the liberal loons kicked it up a whole bunch of notches too. After they got the backing of the pounding press they started spitting on returning soldiers.

Nice - the Dems gave the soldiers the draft, sent them off to Vietnam because Bobby Kennedy convinced his brother John to do so, and Nixon and the returning soldiers took the brunt of it.

Why do you think Johnson didn't run in '68?

Who do you think those "liberal loons" were chanting about when with "LBJ, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?"

Your assertion that the press only prints negative stories about Democrats is partisan nonsense.

You're confused - I never said that press only prints negative stories about Democrats.

Anyway - ya, the loons spurred on by our enemy were out there, and the press wrote about it, but the press were kind to Johnson in comparison to Nixon - again, it's just like they are kind to Obama in comparison to Bush -the press was biased then and they are biased now, which was my point.

Anyway - here's a footnote for you - Nixon said he would end the war and he did, and he ended the draft that was instituted by a Democrat - and if not for Nixon, if you are of age, you might be one of the 30,000 just volunteered by Obama to go to Afghanistan to fight the war on terror.

You used to much profanity in your post which was replaced by asterisks. That made it too ambiguous for me to understand.

I don't understand some of the right wing nut code language.:shock:

I'll let the readers judge.

If you can't understand what I'm saying, it's not because of the two starred out words.

I am sorry but I would have to educate you before I explain because you can not understand my point.

You assume that you know everybody who is a decent human and it's a fact just because you say so.

I think that Nixon was a terrorist. He tried to poison his own people with paraquat.

Ayers lived in the era of the Kent State Massacre and Nixon who would have wound up in prison if not pardoned by Gerald [bite the bullet] Ford. When you live in an era of tyrants it makes some people get really pissed off.

I think that this post pretty much obliterates any credibility you ever may or may not have had.

You need to lighten up, that was from the movie Airplane which was a hit in it's day and also produced by Liberal Hollywood. BTW the term Racism is over used, kinda like the F bomb..know what I mean, it really has no weight anymore.

Can everyone agree that Reid was being racist when he said this about Obama, and the Republicans are justified in calling the Democrats out for a double standard? But, the GOP is stretching it when they call for Reid to step down as Senate Majority Leader.

I agree, just a bit hard to swallow when Trent Lott not resigning was seen as stretchin it mere yeas ago. The double standard so blatant here, we'll stop calling Reid a racist when the next misquote by a Republican is ignored. Fair?

I just love the tit for tat attitude of some of our more "partisan" folks. What's right seems to be irrelevant to y'all. Getting in "shots" seems to be all that matters.

to me it's not a matter of "shots" as you say. it is in my opinion, living up to the rhetoric that is hurled at those on the right in the first place. If what is good for the goose....and so on. But I think that it shows the true thin skinned nature of liberals that are crying so loudly here Cap......;)

I concur. Politics a nasty and high stakes game and I don't fear nor should my Republican Party fear, playing it. They want to call you a ridiculous looking comparison making attack dog, then snarl...extend fangs, bare teeth...and wear that collar proudly.

It's a dog fight, Gentlemen. You've got the Senate and House and President making more midnight deals in this most corrupt of unconstitutional legislative endeaors. They promised we'd see it all on cspan, they now make backroom midnight deals without a single Republican in the room. Their campaigns a mere year ago have turned out to be a campaign of lies and deceit and as if we need another example...Gitmo isn't closing in one year...case anyone still cares.

I say on a national scale, we forget "shots" and start hurling nuclear weapons. On this forum however, the utmost respect for the other side of the aisle I will continue, the occasional jab or shot just how the game is played.

It seems that you made your post to riddiclule blacks in a mean spirited nature. When it was done in the movie it was done not to riddicule but to enlighten.

It seems like sophism to me with racial undertones.

It seems like you used it like rush limbaugh for race baiting.

That's only my opinion. Opinions are like butt holes. Everybody has a different one.:)

No it was done for comedy, after all the movie was comedy. You take life far to seriously and you are trying to find things that don't exist(in my regard). In my world everyone is green:), unlike most in this country who will never know but, will pretend to know.

I'm not saying you need to stop calling Reid a racist, I'm just saying don't stretch it. Calling for a resignation is really stretching it, and makes you look bad. Stay in the justified position, please.

Resignation is called for, Reid has violated the trust of the people and violated the constitution that he was sworn to uphold, along with everyone else who is pushing this healthcare bill.

Healthcare aside, do you think he needs to resign for his comment about Obama? I'm sure the answer to this is no, or at least for anyone who isn't a partisan-hack that is. Same thing with Ensign and Sanford, they shouldn't be asked to resign because of their scandals, unless it directly affected their governing ability.

Since when is free speech a violation of the constitution? :confused: Tell me true.

Well if it was me I would for the good of the party, on the other hand it's up to Reid. Reid didn't violate anything in this regard but, that said this will neutralize Reid in criticizing any of his opponents if they misspeak now or in the future. Reid should also realize that he also neutralizes the entire democratic party in this regard. Bottom line no he doesn't have to resign.

I don't read you as a mean spirited person. I was wrong, sorry.:3oops:

In regards to healthcare, not his comments about Obama.

How did he violate the constitution about health care? Did Eisenhower violate the constitution when he proposed the US Interstate system?

Just because it doesn't say we can provide socialized health care in the constitution means nothing. What's important is that it is not forbidden by the Constitution.;)

In fact, there are no laws against being a socialist and or communist for that matter.

And I will take this solid advice and not stretch it, I'm not calling for Reid to step down or apologize, it was a poor choice of words we all make them.

I will remain justified.

And you will remain consistent when the next Republican has the race card played on him, you'll likewise be asking people not to stretch it. Right?:cool:
