That's Just How These Progressives Are Wired

It’s Mo Baxley syndrome all over again, and as usual the entirety of the democrat party has not yet come out to apologize for Harry Reid’s pseudo-racist comments. In fact, they are all defending him.  Doesn’t that make them party to the obvious injustice portrayed by Senator Reid?  Are they not validating this racism by not speaking out against it? 

No Trent Lott like frog marching down the capitol steps, head hung in shame? 

So the democrat party, including the New Hampshire Chair, don’t even have an obligation to “Denounce this,” to use Ms. Baxley’s own words? 

I guess not.  Show of hands; who is surprised by this? 

Well let’s be fair.  Maybe he said it with some sort of “naturalistic” indifference.  Maybe he wasn’t being a low-down closet racist after all. 

We now return to Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, already in progress. 

HARRY: “If you look carefully, you can still see Jim finishing up his observations of Mr. Obama from the Blind, Jim?”

JIM: “Yes Harry.  It’s absolutely flawless.  He’s got the press eating out of his hands.  And he appears to be able to shift back and forth from his Negro accent, to his non -Negro accent, without missing a beat, depending on whom he is speaking to.”

HARRY: “Well there you have it.  A light skinned, African American, with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.  Back to you Marlin.”

Not even sure why he bothered to apologize. 

So Mr. Obama is OK with it.  Why wouldn’t he be?  He's a hypocrite like the rest.  Plus it gives him something on old Harry.  And as long as Reid is a democrat helping the president advance his agenda—ignoring Senate rules, buying off members, hiding the process, and asking for late night votes on frameworks and not actual bills anyone can read; it’s all just a misunderstanding.  No need to treat him like some hate-mongering racist.  Obama is above all that anyway, right.  

So I’m excited for the democrats.  You gotta love any opportunity to view the double standard again.  It gives us a sense of scope.  You need that in an election year,   because only then, to paraphrase Mr. Obama, can we, “…reform bad habits and do our business in the light of day -- because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government." 

Oh.  You’ll have to excuse me.  I love that part of the inaugural address.  Tear up every damn time I read it.

For the Record...-this courtesy of RedState regarding Mr. Trent Lott’s remarks.

• 'His apology does not take away the sting of his divisive words...' - Barbara Boxer

• 'I can tell you if a Democratic leader said such a thing, they would not be allowed to keep their position,' - Mary Landrieu
• 'What he said was insensitive as hell; it's very offensive,' ... 'Race is serious stuff. It's not something you kid about.' - Joe Biden

• '...the GOPmust decide whether Lott 'represents the views of the majority of Republicans in the Senate and in our country.' - Hillary Clinton

• 'We need political leaders who are healers, not dividers,' ... 'I hope that Senator Lott's apology will translate into action and that he will advance policies that bring us together as a nation rather than pull us apart.' - Dick Durbin

• 'When connected to past comments and votes, this statement casts a dark shadow over Sen. Lott's ability to be a credible party leader' - Diane Feinstein

• 'Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat, described Lott's comments as 'outrageous' and 'completely inexcusable.' 'Those kinds of comments have no place in our society and should be repudiated by every American,' Stabenow said in a statement. 'At this point, the Republican caucus in the U.S. Senate needs to think long and hard about the kind of values they want their leadership to represent.' - Debbie Stabenow

• "The Republican Party itself has to drive out Trent Lott. If they have to stand for something, they have to stand up and say this is not the person we want representing our party." - Barack Obama

Just for the resord, I'm not crying foul.  I'm not claiming it's unfair.  I'm just observing it like any other static part of the liberal universe.  It's just the way these liberal progressive hypocrits are wired.  So thanks for showing us your double standard again.   I smile every single time you do it.

Harry Reid should LOSE HIS JOB just like anyone else who says a 'forbidden' word.

Ah well, we'll just have to wait for the elections to do that I guess.

You know the Racist-Reid defense plan includes pointing out how much he's done for the minority community over the years. You know. Nothing to see here. Of course that'works well becasue nothing he has done actually helped anyone, and may have made things worse by reinforcing a culture of dependency.

I wonder how Mr.Lambert feels about this?Maybe if he had just come out in favor of gay marriage the liberals would have forgiven him.Then again,maybe not.

My guess is that as long as he's not a left winger there's no hope for clemency. The Hypocrite Party has a very inclusive club and Doug's not the right kind of victim.
