— DrewM Just remember, it's Republicans who play on racial fears and pit ethnic groups against one another.
Not surprisingly, the local Las Vegas paper isn't outraged or anything. They seem to think the comment is just part of Reid's efforts to get Hispanic votes and is probably quite sensible in their minds.
Imagine the outrage is Mitch McConnell had said, "I don't know how anyone who is of European heritage could be a Democrat". Yeah, that would just be part of the campaign, nothing to see here, move along.
I really hope Sharron Angle kicks this smarmy bastard out of office.
Added: Via Michelle Malkin, Reid campaign doubles down on statement.
Delicious irony from the Review-Journal...Harry's son Rory is getting destroyed in his bid to become Governor by Republican Brian Sandoval. Sandoval is Hispanic and favors Arizona's immigration law.

Rory is that stupid. I used to have to put up with these imbeciles when I lived in Las Vegas.
Rory would have that Jackie Gleason moment from Smokey and the bandit when Sheriff Burford T. Justice realizes the law enforcement officer he has been talking to is black. His comment was "You sound taller on the radio." Rory would say something exactly like that.

Karen conceded????
Last I saw they said it was dependent on the absentee ballots from the military.
I still think the dems tampered by cross-over votes. Karen won by 10% in the original primary.

"Why would anyone of Hispanic heritage vote Republican?"
Hispanic is not a heritage. Ask a Puerto Rican if they share the same heritage as a Mexican who asks the Cuban who asks a Peruvian.

Hmmm....you know, maybe the whole race hustling thing could be used to good effect...
Why not have somebody call for a national organization for white people? I mean, I know plenty of them who are poor as shit, can't find work, getting kicked out of their homes, get passed over thanks to quotas and EOE -- why don't they deserve their own advocacy group? Sure people would scream about it, but if you put up a few of the people it's "supposed to help" -- then, don't they deserve some sort of "equality of outcome" same as everybody? Is it right that they should be kept perpetually poor and disenfranchised? Better yet, have some "people of color" suggest it -- because they believe in equality of outcome for their fellow Americans and are willing to cross racial stereotype lines in order to see social justice done? Isn't anyone who comes out against such a proposition really just a hateful bigot and racist against the white poor?
You know, why not do a Gutfeld on the race pimps?

It's funny that this is the second time in a year that we have run into this same sort of issue with the idiot dems. They crowed that Sotomayor was the first hispanic SCOTUS justice when that was obviously false. Justice Benjamin Cardozo was the first such justice, long, long ago, but no one cared to count identities at the time, and being a Jew meant that he didn't qualify (by the Nazi-Democrat standards of identity - which serves as the bases for all dem decisions) as a true "hispanic".
Posted by: progressoverpeace at August 11, 2010 07:46 AM (Qp4DT)
Answered it yourself. The same applies to African-Americans, who also are largely textbook SoCons. After all, the black Obama vote was what put Prop 8 over the top in CA.
Also, as was mentioned above, the country of origin makes a big difference. Cubans have seen first hand the end game of Demunism, and they largely want no part of it. In other areas of Latin America the thrill isn't gone yet, although I suspect Chavez will be producing a steady stream of conservative expats if he keeps going.

You'd have to find someone with a serious death wish to do that.
At a minimum, Eric Shabazz Holder would find some way to prosecute the leader of any organization promoting white people. The MSM would say that everything in this country promotes white people.
Said leader would face being shot by some minority who "just couldn't take the racism" and "snapped" under the strain. The shooter would become a hero.
I'd say more, but telling the truth in this instance is scurvy racism, and I'd have to denounce myself. And face banishment from AoSHQ.

For the record: I consider Hispanics to be white -- how is a native/person of European heritage (with possibly an AA or Asian or two thrown in the mix at some point) any different depending upon what latitude they hail from? How is there much difference between an Apache/Spaniard and a Cherokee/Scots? One gets more of a tan and is brunette? Big deal; I get more of a tan and have darker hair/eye color than my husband, we're both categorized as "Caucasian".
In fact, I find the whole "race" thing kinda ludicrous.
Posted by: unknown jane at August 11, 2010 07:49 AM (5/yRG)
It is clear now that Democrats are adamantly against racial progress as it will hit them in their pocketbooks and in their vote banks. After they smeared "the first black President", Bill Clinton, as a racist, it was obvious to even the most partisan liberal that they had lost any knowledge of the meaning of the word racist. Sadly, now, because of this abuse, the utterance of this word from them is treated as a Tourette's flareup rather than a utterly serious matter. The real victims of racism are the ones who will suffer the most.
Fuck Harry Reid. Fuck David Axelrod. Fuck Obama. Fuck you clowns for treating this as a political game.

“Sen. Reid’s contention was simply that he doesn't understand how anyone, Hispanic or otherwise, would vote for Republican candidates because they oppose saving teachers’ jobs, oppose job-creating tax incentives for small businesses, oppose investments in job-creating clean energy projects, and oppose the help for struggling, unemployed Nevadans to put food on the table and stay in their homes,” read the statement.

By the generally accepted definition, conservatives are either religious or in general accept traditional Jewish-Christian values.
Harry Reid is pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage, both things which bring him in conflict with Mormon teaching. Mormons are at least as solid a conservative voting block as Hispanics are a liberal one.

77 Oh, don't think for one second I'm being totally serious with this -- there are enough entitlement programs that keep people vote slaves. We don't need another.
However, like Gutfeld -- why not be quasi serious so as to call out the hypocrisy and outright lies of some of these groups (and their "liberal" white supporters). I mean after all, wouldn't denying access to "social justice" mean that they hate these poor people? Does that mean they really hate the poor after all? I thought they were all about the care and the love???

Basically, the mythical Southern strategy, which is complete and utter bullshit and needs to be debunked once and for all. Working-class whites, even those in areas with large black populations, stayed loyal to the Democrats after the 1964 CRA passage. This was true until the 90s, when the nation as a whole turned rightward in Congressional voting. But WV was the decisive vote for Clinton in 1993. They were never a slave state, but had a Democratic former klansman as a senator. Any constituency that relies on government largesse, and that always included poor whites, are reliable Democratic voters.

I know lots of Mormons. Not one of them likes Reid. I know several who would like to punch his lights out. The rest think he is a disgrace to their religion and would probably not shake his hand if they met him in church.
If Dingy Harry is depending on the Mormon vote to get reelected, he'd best be fixing up his house in Searchlight because he's not going back to DC.

Harry Reid is a vile human being. Dingy Harry's lifetime ACU rating (as of the end of 2009) is 19. The average lifetime ACU rating of a congressional 'rat is 12. Ergo the U.S. Government is being run by vile human beings.
