Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had described Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

It’s strange how the left side of the political aisle constantly makes the racial faux pas, yet they like to play the race card against the right.

If it’s not Harry Reid, it’s:

• Senator Joe Biden saying, “You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.”
• Senator Joe Biden describing then Senator Obama as: “…the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

• Senator Hillary Clinton saying Mahatma Gandhi “ran a gas station down in Saint Louis.”

• California State Senator Diane Watson (D) commenting on Ward Connerly’s interracial marriage: “He’s married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn’t want to be black.”

One can find many other examples (including ex-Klansman Democrat Robert Byrd), but we must ignore the mountain of evidence and keep to the script - Democrats are the ‘caring’ and ‘compassionate’ ones.

Obama quickly accepted Reid’s apology, saying, “As far as I am concerned, the book is closed.” But would be wide open had it been said by someone other than a liberal.
