Except that my keyboard jumps around and so I mix up words and letters.

1. Reid DID say that.

2. Biden called Obama "clean" and "articulate"
Reid said Obama was "light-skinned" and didn't have a Negro dialect unless he wanted one. Limbaugh was using Democrats' words against them, and thus managed to make himself look better against those who call him racist.

No cookies for you.

6. Hold on! Biden and Reid had lots of good stuff to say too...
...but Limpballs could only say "he's clean, he's articulate, he's light skinned and he doesn't have a negro dialect unless he wants to".

The OP's point was spot on.

3. Some folks seem to operate on a hair trigger when it comes...
to being offended or misinterpreting posts... I wouldn't worry about it... Rush is a horrible racist--everyone knows that, so I don't know why a DUer would be offended by it being pointed out.

4. You were misinterpreted...
I think that happens to most of us sooner or later.

If it makes you feel better, you can add them to your ignore list, though you won't get the satisfaction of having them know you're ignoring them.

I'm sorry this happened to you, but try not to be concerned about it. It's probably best not to have contact with the knee-jerk set anyway.

9. Rush was quoting or paraphrasing something attributed to Harry Reid.
Edited on Thu Feb-11-10 06:15 AM by TexasObserver
A recent book revealed that early in the electoral process, Harry Reid said words to that effect when explaining why he thought Obama had a chance at winning the presidency. He was speaking the truth about the US electorate. He was making a private analysis that was accurate. It just isn't the kind of thing that one wants heard in the public sector, because out of context it has a different perception than at the time it was said.
