Right-winger Cliff May just pretty much called Harry Reid a racist

[johnfunk]

Unbelievable. Cliff May was blasting Harry Reid for (accurately) calling Clarence Thimas an "embarrassment" yesterday on Meet the Press. So Cliff May, one of CNN's resident wingnut GOPers and perpetual Presnit BushBo W. Codpiece apologists, essentially said Reid doesn;t like Thoms because he's "African-American and conservative" -- emphasis on the African-American part. Even Soledad O'Brien, who usually lets this sort of inflammatory horsesh!t pass, took umbrage.

Seems to me that it's Reid, not that embarrassment Thomas, who is owed the apology.

1. Here it comes

The de-personalization of Harry Reid. The right will do their best to smear him, just as they did Daschle.

I think Harry will stand up better than Tom did. At least, that's what I hope.

2. This will be the right wing talking point on hate radio today.

3. Harry should fire back. NOW

... and say:

1) Cliff May owes me, Thomas and America an apology for injecting race into this issue.

2) Thomas is an embarrassment. Hold it -- let me clarify -- he's an incompetent embarrasment, much like Preznit Codpiece. He's the George W. Bush of the judiciary -- a lame-brained squeak-by. No wonder Smirky wants him as Cheap Justice of the Supremos -- dumbassery loves company!

4. Clarence Thomas is African-American???

I was just looking over his record, and I see absolutely nothing to indicate that Clarence Thomas is African American? He even voted against affirmative action.

Are you sure the guy is black?

Oh, wait.

There's his photograph.

I guess you're right. I would have never known.

Next you're going to tell me that Zell Miller is a Democrat!

5. Bingo !

That's the way they do it ...

8. Fascist definition of racism

Add this to the Republican-to-English dictionary

Racist: Any person, especially a white Democratic politician or a white liberal, who disapproves of the extremist, fanatical ideological screeds of ultraconservative members of minority groups, who have already sold out their race.

epitomizes the grinning sanctomonious republican. A face I just want to pummel in a boxing ring
