"What happened with Reid’s quote right after it became known is typical Democrat spin, too. Naturally, before Reid’s quote was widely known, on Saturday Harry Reid rushed an apology to the press, one quickly accepted and downplayed by now President Obama. Both prepared to move forward as if nothing happened. Republicans have pointed to this as a fine example of a double standard. They recalled that Senator Trent Lott was hounded out of leadership in 2002 for making some complimentary remarks about Senator Strom Thurmond at his retirement party. Republicans have now gone on to call for Reid’s removal as Senate Majority Leader in a similar vein to Lott’s situation. Naturally Democrats have demurred from demanding that Reid step down and Republicans are calling this a classic example of the left’s double standard. It is clear that incidents such as this are used to destroy Republicans but similar incidents when involving Democrats are swept under the rug.
"Of this double standard GOP Chairman Michael Steele told reporters, 'There is this standard where the Democrats feel that they can say these things and they can apologize when it comes from the mouths of their own. But if it comes from anyone else, it’s racism. It’s either racist or it’s not. And it’s inappropriate, absolutely.'"

"Black people must NEVER be permitted to see that the Democratic Party is the slave master of today. This is why black conservatives are so reviled and so hatefully attacked by liberal blacks. If blacks realize that the DNC has a plantation mindset, they'll leave in droves and there will never be a recovery for the DNC.
"Sharpton and Jackson are no better than the chiefs of old who sold their own to white slave traders."
