Harry Reid recently apologized to the president for remarks he made in his yet to be released book. Obama accepted his apology and Scary Reid, Nazi Pelosi, And Barry Soreoto sat around the campfire singing kumbaya.

Imagine if Glenn Beck apologized for racial statements he is "going" to make in his yet to be released book.

Am I the only one who notices a double standard?

Robert Byrd must be pathetically trying to high five Scary Reid..

  From The Huffington Post:
  
  Share Print CommentsMichael Steele called on Sunday for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to step down for racially insensitive comments, even as the RNC Chairman brushed aside talk that he should resign for using an epithet of his own.
  
  Appearing on "Fox News Sunday", Steele condemned Reid for calling then-presidential candidate Barack Obama "light-skinned" and "with no Negro dialect" in private conversations during the campaign. The remarks, Steele stressed, were just as contemptuous as those made by former Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), who once praised Strom Thurmond's segregationist presidential candidacy. And, as such, Reid (like Lott) should be forced to resign from his leadership post.
  
  "I think he should," said Steele. "There is a standard where Democrats think they can say these things and apologize when it comes from the mouth of their own. But if it comes from anyone else, it's racism. It's either racist or it's not. And it's inappropriate, absolutely. So if the standard is the one we saw with Trent Lott as leader at the time, then I think this absolutely falls in that category here. ... Remember, this is the same leader who just a few weeks ago was talking about health care in the context of slavery. Clearly he is out of touch."
  
  The follow-up question to Steele's statement was obvious from the onset. The RNC Chairman, this past week, had been chastised by members of both parties for using the phrase "Honest Injun" to tout the Republican party's platform. Combined with other gaffes, was this too grounds for resignation?
  
  "No, absolutely not," he said. "Why should I Chris [Wallace]? I'm pushing the ball. I'm raising the money. I'm winning elections. I have got the base fired up."
  
  "If [the comment] is [offensive] I apologize for it," he added. "I wasn't intending to say a racial slur at all. The reality is that's not the same as what we were talking about before."
  
  Steele, of course, has had more flare-ups this past week then just the "Honest Injun" remark. And Wallace pressed him to address several others, including news that he was doing a book tour with the knowledge of his own staff and predictions that the GOP wasn't ready to win or govern the House of Representatives.
  
  "There is too much focus on me because that's what Washington wants to focus on," Steele confessed. "I'm very passionate about what I do. I'm very passionate about winning. ... So I bring that to the table. And yeah, I get a little bit hot headed."

  Are u really kidding me now? Really? What exactly do U mean by this statement "I have no reason to believe the guy is a negro"? When comments such as this are made like Reid, I really gotta ask, where is this coming from? Of course there's a double standard...
  Of course there is free speech. People have a right to make idiots of themselves too, just like Reid did. And I don't expect to hear such racist comments from such prominent politicians either.

  Sorry whtie people.. Harry's remarks while dated were not the same as Trent Lott's. Harry meant no harm and was explaining why America could accept Obama.
  
  Harry asked Obama to run. And the most important fact is that Obama accepeted his apology for the comment. You can't be mad for someone else if they are not mad.
  
  If Obama says its over its over.
  
  What I think we should explore is your racism.

  Has the right joined the ranks of the PC crowd normally reserved for the liberal left? The heavens must have opened up and swallowed the earth! What won't they resort too to drum up some controversy?
  
  The admission by Harry Reid is one of clearing the air and while quite unsavory has some truth to it with regards to our society. It is Americans afraid to look at themselves in the mirror where the real issue is. We are a divided society and there are double standards both in the white and black community. Really!
  
  I remember when Jimmy the Greek made his gaff recounting how the breeding of slaves produced exceptionally strong and athletic black people on the plantations and that the genetic reference was missed and the prejudicial PC outrage consummed the truth of the statement.

What happened to the virtues of Martin Luther King and what happened to the DREAM? Even though we may have elected a black man to office we as a country still have these petty obsticles to overcome...

  Very true, ChapmanHester. Here's what Frank Rich had to say in this morning's NYT--
  
  The Great Tea Party Rip-Off
  
  By FRANK RICH
  Published: January 16, 2010
  
  Even given the low bar set by America’s bogus conversations about race, the short-lived Harry Reid fracas was a most peculiar nonevent. For all the hyperventilation in cable news land, this supposed racial brawl didn’t seem to generate any controversy whatsoever in what is known as the real world.
  
  Eugene Robinson, the liberal black columnist at The Washington Post, wrote that he was “neither shocked nor outraged” at Reid’s less-than-articulate observation that Barack Obama benefited politically from being “light-skinned” and for lacking a “Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.” Besides, Robinson said, Reid’s point was “surely true.” The black conservative Ward Connerly agreed, writing in The Wall Street Journal that he was “having a difficult time determining what it was that Mr. Reid said that was so offensive.”
  
  President Obama immediately granted Reid absolution. A black columnist at The Daily News in New York, Stanley Crouch, even stood up for the archaic usage of “Negro.” George Will defended Reid from charges of racism as vociferously as Democrats did. Al Sharpton may have accepted Reid’s apology, but for once there’s no evidence that he ever cared enough to ask for one. So who, actually, was the aggrieved party here? What — or who — was really behind this manufactured race war with no victims?
  
  It would be easy to dismiss the entire event as a credulous news media’s collaboration with a publisher’s hype for a new tell-all-gossip 2008 campaign book, “Game Change,” which breathlessly broke the Reid “bombshell.” But this is a more interesting tale than that. The true prime mover in this story was not a book publicist but Michael Steele, the chairman of the Republican Party and by far the loudest and most prominent Beltway figure demanding that Reid resign as Senate majority leader as punishment for his “racism.”
  
  Steele is widely regarded as a clown by observers of all political persuasions, but he is clownish like a fox. His actions in this incident offer some hilarious and instructive insights into what’s going on in the Republican hierarchy right now as it tries to cope not just with our first African-American president but with a restive base embracing right-wing tea-party populism that loathes the establishment in both parties. And though Steele is black, and perhaps the most enthusiastic player of the race card in American politics today, race was a red herring in his Reid vendetta. It threw most everyone off the scent of his real motivation, which had nothing to do with black versus white but everything to do with green, as in money.

This liberal just logged on and read your post.

First, let's get the facts straight. The quote appears in a book entitled "Game Change" written by reporters Mark Halperin and John Heileman. It is an account of the 2008 presidential campaign. The quote is not from a book written by Harry Reid and not yet released as you claim.

As far as what Harry Reid said, I agree it sounds racist. Harry Reid apologized for the remarks and Barack Obama accepted his apology.

You compare Harry Reid to Glenn Beck in your OP. I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Glenn Beck ever apologizing to Barack Obama for this remark:

"This president I think has exposed himself over and over again as a guy who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture....I'm not saying he doesn't like white people, I'm saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist." –on President Obama, July 28, 2009

Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in 2002 agreed with former Sen. Trent Lott's (R-Miss.) decision to resign his leadership role after Lott made what some felt were racist remarks at former Sen. Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party.

"He had no alternative," said Reid at the time claiming, "If you tell ethnic jokes in the backroom, it's that much easier to say ethnic things publicly. I've always practiced how I play."

Democrats were angry. Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson called for Lott to resign, and former Vice President Al Gore told CNN that the comment was "racist."

Issuing one of the harshest rebukes Lott has received to date, even from Democrats, Gore said Monday in an interview on CNN's "Inside Politics" that Lott should apologize for his comments or face censure by the Senate.

  Okay, I had to look up what Lott said because I couldn't remember. In any case, if you are trying to say there is a double standard among Democrats, I am sure you are right. As there is with Republicans. If you are trying to say there is a double standard in the media, I'm not so sure you are right. When Strom Thurmond ran for President, he was a segregationist, and this is what Lott said.
  
  "I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years either."

LAS VEGAS — Fifty-two percent of Nevadans had an unfavorable opinion of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and 33 percent had a favorable view, according to a statewide poll released Saturday.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal poll also found that Republican Sue Lowden had 50 percent to Reid’s 40 percent, while Republican Danny Tarkanian had 49 percent to Reid’s 41 percent.AP

Looks like Nevade is going to hand him his walking papers in November. Could this be a PR stunt so Reid can resign quietly instead of being humiliated in an election?

Reid to me is snake oil sale man. But, what I worry about is his bribery of other Senators for their vote and those Senators selling their vote and selling out the country.

I don't think we should be surprised by anything that any politician says. They often say whatever they think will boost themselves and their party politically, including, sadly, racist innuendo.

When voters start to hold them to a higher standard, instead of voting based on who has the most vicious attack ads, then we'll get a higher standard of behavior from them.

Just my thoughts.

From what I'm seeing, Reid was not attacking Obama for his skin color, but rather was commenting on the state of American racial politics. The choice of words might have been poor, but it looks like he was saying that Obama had a better chance of getting elected than someone who had darker skin.

That's not a racist attack on Obama.

While Harry Reid's racist comments have earned him many political opponents from right and left, one African American rights activist say Reid may be right. In fact Reid may have meant the positive saying the country is not ready for an African American President and that his comments are an assessment of a voting not of a man.

From the American Thinker: http://ow.ly/16jy00

Harry Reid is developing a well-deserved reputation for playing the race card. Last month he accused opponents of his secret healthcare bill of being the same as those who opposed ending slavery. It was a highly objectionable historical analogy based on extremely flawed logic. Those who are fighting to stop ObamaCare are upholding the ideal of freedom -- from government intrusion, confiscatory taxation and oppressive debt.

Reid, liberal Democrat and Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate, has now admitted to a 2008 comment calling Obama "a light-skinned" African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Joe Biden said something similar during the presidential campaign when he opined that Barack Obama is "articulate, bright and clean."

Liberals wear their racial obsession as a badge of moral superiority. We are seeing the prideful dark side to their championing racial justice. It is noblesse oblige, the arrogant belief that minorities owe them so much -- their very lives and livelihoods -- that liberals are entitled to have their stereotypes and prejudices overlooked. The beneficence they have bestowed upon the seething masses of dark skinned people places liberal racial morality beyond question. Dark skin does not matter to Reid or his colleagues of course, but they are sufficiently enlightened to observe that it matters to the less sophisticated. Conservatives, "tea baggers" and those rural white folks who cling to their guns and Bibles are the ones we need to be concerned about, not the self-benighted liberal intelligentsia.

Perhaps not. Barbara "call me Senator" Boxer accused Harry Alford of the Black Chamber of Commerce of racial betrayal for not agreeing with the NAACP on Cap & Trade. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said that the opponents of the liberals' healthcare reform were "white Aryan support groups." Jesse Jackson said that Rep. Arthur Davis is not a black man because he voted against the healthcare bill. Maureen Down accused George Bush of racism because he appointed "white men" to the Supreme Court. Nancy Pelosi accused Americans who showed up at the healthcare town hall meetings of being Nazis and racists. Long before President Obama turned the Prof. Gates incident into a racial issue, he made the still too little known statement in his autobiography, "white folks greed runs a world in need." He no doubt learned that little rhyme from his racist mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The truth is that Harry Reid and his liberal cohorts are the very definition of racists. They do not see "minorities" as individuals, but as part of a faceless group of victims. Joe Biden and Harry Reid give us a clear picture of how liberals view black Americans: none too bright, not very clean, have very dark skin and speak Ebonics or jive, except for Obama and a few others. That is called racial stereotyping. Liberals deny they do this, but out of the abundance of their hearts, their mouths speak.

Conservatives on the other hand see people as individuals, not unwashed and victimized masses. They do not look upon black Americans as a group to be rescued, but as individuals to be respected -- or not -- based on character and ability. This view of life makes them far less susceptible to the racial obsession which drives liberals to politically correct madness. When Trent Lott made his infamous Strom Thurmond remark, most Republicans -- including then-President Bush -- refused to stand by him, Although in my view they overreacted, they were unwilling to rationalize or justify racist speech and behavior. They do not suffer from the delusion of liberals who see themselves as the privileged paragons of racial sensitivity.

Blacks will eventually wake up to the truth and break free from their emotional bondage to liberal Democrats. Unfortunately, with a media dedicated to their indoctrination, they will not do so sua sponte. Black business leaders, ministers, writers and commentators must begin to point out the hypocrisy of liberal racism and paternalism. Individuals and families within the black community must reject liberal and government largess and messianic political pretensions. The focus of black progress must become earning respect instead of playing the victim.

Liberals have assigned the victim role to black people, and Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others, have taught many to play it well. It is time to reject that role, and say to Harry Reid and others who live in their liberal alternative universe, "You can no longer buy our silence or support by throwing us a few bones. We no longer want scraps from your elite table. We no longer want your affirmative action or your victim status. We want the earned respect and honor that comes with being Americans who work, produce and contribute to our society."

Then Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Sheldon Whitehouse and others will find they can no longer use black people like pawns on a chess board. Their paternalistic bigotry will no longer be overlooked. The resignation of Harry Reid as Senate Majority leader would be a start.

I have to jump in here because I cannot give anymore time to these wonderful reponses and replies to each other over the first N-word, Negro, that culturally preceded the present N-word. The hypocrisy is that the black man has been firmly embedded in the American subconscious through our collective inability to accept him and reverse all prejudiced and hateful remarks and actions against him that (all of us) have had to endure throughout our history. I am happy that these societal gaffs take place because it gets everyone talking, but not necessarily thinking correctly. Mr. Reid only suffered from a delayed reaction (about 50 years) to speaking up for Blacks' struggle in politics and didn't have well a oiled tongue for expressing his revelation. I thought his point was a good point and an honest observation as shocking as it sounded.

"Dialogue is always a good thing. The uproar is how the left dealt with Trent Lott. There is a double standard."

My recollection is that Trent Lott's remark was more offensive. I'll try to look it up. He was praising Strom Thurmond, one of the biggest racists in Congress in the 20th century, as I recall. Here's a report on Lott's boo-boo:

"In 2002, at a birthday party for noted segregationist/longtime Republican Senator Strom Thurmond, Lott said this: “I want to say this about [Mississippi, which Lott represented]: When Strom Thurmond ran for president [in 1948, as a Dixiecrat], we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years, either.”

"Though it’s a little vague what exactly “these problems” Lott was referring to are, it doesn’t require the largest of cognitive leaps to reach the following conclusion: that Lott’s remarks looked fondly upon segregation. Lott resigned over his comments--and now, roughly 8 years later, Republicans, including Steele, are comparing Lott’s comments to Reid’s, saying that Reid must resign like Lott did or else risk looking hypocritical."

Reid's remark, thus, is not comparably offensive as Trent Lott's. There is no double standard. Anyway, why would you expect the Dems to react exactly the same way for their Speaker as they did for the GOP speaker or minority leader whatever Lott's position was.

Does it strike anyone else as curious that the accusations of racism against Harry Reid are all coming from conservatives and not from the African-American community? Juan Williams, an African-American whose comments can be heard on Fox News as well as NPR, commented this morning on NPR that he hadn't heard any criticism of Reid from anyone in the black community. (I guess he doesn't count Steele as a member of the black community!) Williams also pointed out that discussions of shades of skin color had been a part of the dialog in the black community dating all the way back to the days of slavery. His attitude about Reid's comment, which he termed "inelegant" was "ho hum."

Speaking "black" is viewed as being rough around the edges, just like speaking "hillbilly." Harry Reid was just pointing out that Obama has all the desirable traits to get white votes.
