In a stunning turn of events, Democrats can make racist comments too! Harry Reid is told to have described Obama as 'light skinned with no Negro dialect, even if he wants one' . This remark made by the Senate majority leader is very stunning. Harry Reid has apologized for that remark and wants to move on. However, Republicans aren't going to waste a good crisis. They want Harry Reid to step down from his position as Senate Majority Leader. Republicans are claiming the Democrats have a double standard because in 2002 Sen. Trent Lott praised the late Senator Strom Thurmond, a former segregationist, at his 100 birthday party. Lott resigned in the wake of the controversy that followed, and apparently Harry Reid was one of the first to jump on Trent Lott.

My Opinion: I already threw some opinions in there, but I feel that he was wrong. If Republicans are going to be held to a certain standard, then so should Democrats. Political correctness is sure interesting any more. We can cuss all we want to (Rham Emmanuel) but we can't ever offend anybody.
