Left Agenda

We’ve all heard the news of Sen. Reid’s dumb-ass comments pertaining to Obama.

In their new book “Game Change,” authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann say that in 2008 Reid described candidate Obama as a ” ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one,’ ” whom many voters would embrace.

Reid’s insensitive remarks aside, many Right Wing Wackos (RWWs) began spouting comparisons to Reid’s remarks and Trent Lott’s remarks made in 2002 that he wished Strom Thurmond had been elected POTUS. ‘Those comments ended up getting Lott removed as majority leader, so why shouldn’t Reid be removed’ cries the little sheep. Remember Strom Thurmond? The bigoted racist segregationist that said,

All the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, our schools, our churches.

Well, take a moment to glance at those two quotes from Reid and Thurmond and ask yourself if they’re even close to being similar. Faux News loves to incite the dumb masses of GOP/Tea Bag/RWWs so, of course, they push the “double standard” myth commonly pushed by RWWs about Liberals. Another case of the pot calling the kettle “black”. Their response isn’t a surprise nor are their audience’s responses a surprise. I just wanted to share a few beauties I cherry-picked out of the readers’ comments when Faux asks whether there’s a “Double Standard”. Let the frightened illiterate hysteria begin. For your amusement:

How do you spell doubel standed? Democrat is how it is spelled.

If you wish to see how much of a “double standard” there is, re-listen to the president’s words… “harry reid has been on the “right” side of history, …. so apparently, if you are a democrat, you’re okay to say anything, but if you are a republican,,,, you can’t. That, is repulsive, you wonder why people are angry and getting more so?

The logic is truly astounding. ‘Don’t you see, since they said A apparently it means X.’ Uh oh, another one of those “angry” warnings.  Don’t ask what susan is fuching.

Montana -- Interesting, at every press conference Biden has 60% blacks around him. Where are his friends at the funeral of his mother?

Ouch! This Palin supporter goes right for O’Biden’s jugular.

I’m not surprise by the comment that Mr. Reid made comments like that has gone on since slavery and will continue to go on until the end of time it isn’t a party line it’s ignorance and as long as we have ignorant people in this world we will continue to have rasicm.So lay off the political issue and just deal with the real issue.WE LIVE IN A RACIST INVORIMENT.

The… voice… of… reason…?

I was a loyal Democate until I saw the light & converted. The Democates do not represent anyone but themselves and don’t care who realized it. Double Standards in everyway. We all must fight extremely hard in the next elections to get rid of all of them.

Like a deer staring into your headlight. Oh, “Double Standards” is now a proper noun, don’t forget.

Harry Reed is a communist traitor and like all communists he operates under a double standard. On more reason to vote out all the communist scum in congress in 2010

Seriously, people think that Mr. “Reed” is a Communist? Points for least spelling errors.

I hope all Republicans will ban together and take control of both the House and Senate so the American people will be considered in any bill and do away with all these buying of votes.

Ah, the jimgoodman’s of America. The naivety is almost cute, isn’t.

IT IS ALL ABOUT HEALTH CARE! THAT IS THE ONLY REASON HE IS STILL THERE. THE HYPOCRISY IS AMAZING BUT NOT UNEXPECTED! I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR THIS MAN AND WE HAVE TURNED ENOUGH CHEEKS FOR THE DEMS. TIME FOR HIM TO GO! THE SOONER THE BETTER!

Aaaaah, stop screaming at me! I think I missed the part where RWWs, “TURNED ENOUGH CHEEKS FOR THE DEMS.”

I am so very tired of Democrats practicing double standards regardless if it has to do with racism or any other issue. The senate needs to be divided evenly as well as the house and I’m so afraid this will never happen. Obama is in bed with the worst, has done many favors like for BEN NELSON recently and he on his own is scary.

Wide-eyed and doe-like, lucillelouise gave her mind entirely to Faux News and Baby Jesus.
