No spin. Reid said this in what should be his last public address. Another example of the liberals using the race card to further their own agenda when race has never been mentioned. Typical attack of any who would dare to disagree with them because in their own minds they know better than anyone else.

Reid should be censured for this and stripped of his post. His own bigotry is inexcusable, especially when he tries to blame others for it.

Let's see, my wife and I are opposed to healthcare reform, we are republicans, and yep we would have a problem with slavery. Sorry being slaves just don't sound like our cup of tea.

Of course it's Fox spin. Everything is partisan politics to the Right. You're so use to it that you don't even notice it. You have been duped so often you don't notice when it happens anymore.

This is because liberals don't see people as people but rather people as color.

Reid made it about historic issues. Fox News spun that to make it partisan.

Fox has the sheep trained to never see past partisanship.

The independents see it for what it is..slander and bigotry used to demean the opposition.

The so called sheep could care less.

Or, as is more likely, the inverse is true and you continue to be duped.

Nah, libs are to perfect and intellectual to buy a lie (gag).

Reid brought it up in an unrelated topic to sway public opinion. It is not about historic issues as history is against what he said. It is about a further attempt to gain power by slandering any who disagree with him. The only sheep are those who buy what he is trying to sell.

Fortunately, it looks as if the Nevada voters have had enough of him and the next election he will be gone. Good.
