WHY DO DEMOCRATS HAVE A DOUBLE STANDARD?

Don Imus, Rush Limbaugh and others got tortured by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and other race pimps over their comments, yet Harry Ried can say Obama is a "light skined" African-American "with no ***** dialect, unless he wanted to have one"

"While there is no question that Senator Reid did not select the best word choice in this instance, these comments should not distract America from its continued focus on securing healthcare or creating jobs for its people," Sharpton said

Is this glaring double standard acceptable? Why isn't there more outrage by the race hustlers? or people in general?

n- sadly, you prove my point. your NOT outraged by the comments. the only way you would be outraged is if it were a conservative.

bill hicks- try telling rush, trent lott, don imus and others that they were treated the same as harry ried. all had consequences to real or PERCIEVED racial comments. i don't think your closed minded response fits this question.

rhonda- i can't believe you would think it's ok for leaders of your party to use stereotypical judgements of others. i thought dems said conservatives were "racist" and dems were not. this comment of harrys' was straight up racist and you and your party wink, slap each other on the back like nothing happened. if a conservative does it, it's front pages news for a week.

Jesse Jackson's diversion towards the subject is incredibly hypocritical of him. Outrageous. These pseudo-groups selectively appeal to what their interests are, not the interest of the people.

Apologizing will not do anything to alleviate the situation of this mockery.

So do republicans, what is your point?

"We don't want government controlling people" - a random conservative

Yet, conservatives support DOMA, which tells people whom they can and can't marry.
And, conservatives support the DEA, which tells people what they can and can't put in their bodies.
Also, conservatives support repealing roe v. wade, which would limit what a woman can do with her body.

"I support the troops" almost every conservative
Yet, conservatives support DADT, which limits the number of troops we have.

So, I ask you:
Are you enjoying your double standards?

Dems forced Trent Lott to retire simply because he wished another Senator a happy 100th birthday. Dems of course will forget that and be as hypocritical as always since they have no standards.
