| Description | Here we go again. Sen. Harry Reid, who is starting to establish a bad pattern for himself, managed to step into the mud yesterday with a racially charged statement that questioned how anyone of Hispanic heritage could possibly vote Republican. You can read the story about it here. You can see the actual clip at the end of this blog.
Not quite as explosive as Sen. Reid's previous foray into racial analysis when he opined that Barack Obama would be a good Democratic candidate for president because Barack was "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
But still pretty ugly. The idea that a group of people, like Hispanic Nevadans, can only be of one mind politically is an idea born out of arrogance. It goes to what most ails Sen. Reid in Nevada -- his profound disconnect with the diversity of the people he represents. |
