I found out something interesting over the weekend. From the Washington Times:
It turns out that Harry Reid using the ‘N’ word in reference to Obama’s dialect (or lack thereof) is actually a statement “[I]n the context of saying positive things about Senator Obama” — according to Tim Kaine, DNC Chair.
Um… O.K.
So as long as we are using the N word in a *positive* context… and you are a Democrat… you are cool. Everybody forgives you. The Media accepts your apology and moves on. Grace is extended to you and explanations of how you “really meant to say it in a positive context” are proffered from Liberal leadership. If, on the other hand, you are Trent Lott, and you tell an old congressman that you are proud of him for his accomplishments… you are unquestionably a racist… no apologies or excuses could possibly suffice.
Harry Reid should resign… Immediately.
