These GOP racists are funny.

Harry Reid, the Senate's majority leader, is being taken to task. For his choice of words. Used almost 2 years ago. When he initially supported Barack Obama for the presidency. Reid said he thought Obama could win. Because he's a light-skinned black. And because he speaks eloquently. Without a black dialect. Well, some people, mainly Republicans, claim the language Reid used is racist. And that he should resign as the Senate's leader. Give me a break. Reid was speaking the truth. Obama had an advantage because of his light skin and his smooth manner of speech. That's fact. Not racism. I'll give you an example of racism. The Republicans' southern strategy, which began in the 1960s. When the GOP lured southern whites and bigots into the party because of their disenchantment over the civil rights movement. Funny thing, isn't it? Racists labeling Reid as racist. --Jim Broede
