Harry Reid Implies Radio Host is Racist for Tying Fannie Mae Exec to Obama

"[Franklin] Raines, who you're talking about, worked for Fannie Mae, was there for a while. The only connection that people could bring up about Raines and Barack Obama is they both are African-American, other than that there is nothing."

Harry Reid is the reason that congress has single digit favorability ratings. He is a disgrace!

Mark   October 9th, 2008 - 2:08 pm

Other than the $126,000 Fanny and Freddy gave Obama. Can we play the race card a little more?

How come calling Barrack Hussain Obama by his name is racist? How is calling him by the name his parents gave him anymore racist than calling Mccain John Sidney Mccain?

Mary Spahr   October 9th, 2008 - 2:09 pm

Even with Barack Obama ahead in the polls, the Dems feel it is necessary to bring up race in any conversation. Why is that? Republicans aren’t even going there.

OrlandoRican   October 9th, 2008 - 2:09 pm

This is ridiculous. This piece of rat excrement would bring up the race card! Buckle your seat belts. If Sen. Obama wins we are in for 4 years of this crap everytime anyone says anything critical of him. Shame on Reid!

CTGishome   October 9th, 2008 - 2:12 pm

Ah Dingy Harry he really is like a kangeroo rat isn’t he?

Orlando rican- your right this is just the beginning, The Dems will make Stalin look like a boy scout if they get their way

Harry Reid: “We Don’t Know What To Do”

That’s leadership in a crisis you can count on.

Dave, Tn   October 9th, 2008 - 2:14 pm

Thanks for adding yet another video clip of a FannieCrat playing the race card to stifle debate and the truth.

Thanks Harry!!!

LipstickOnADem   October 9th, 2008 - 2:14 pm

Is there no shame in Nevada?

Harry Reid must be one of the dumbest human beings to ever serve in elected office in any country at any time in recorded history.

How does this moron keep getting re-elected?

olddog   October 9th, 2008 - 2:14 pm

Raines worked for Fannie Mae? I thought he RAN it for several years, took over 100 million himself, and cooked the books with inflated assets!
I remember how dems wanted to hang the CEO’s of Enron, Tyco, 7 Worldcom. Where are the investigations of Fannie Mae?

aj   October 9th, 2008 - 2:16 pm

Harry is the one bringing race into it AGAIN. I can’t believe how easy it is for him to lie to the public. He needs to retire. Reid, Pelosi, Dodd, and Frank all need to step down. They, along with Raines are a huge part of the problem. I wish the voting public was more aware of what goes on in congress.

Patrick   October 9th, 2008 - 2:18 pm

“the war is lost”

“no one knows what to do so we are going home”

Once again this poor excuse for a Senate leader demonstrates why this Congress is so ineffective.

Maybe if he and Polsie work really really hard they can get their approval rating up to 10% before the start of the 111th Congress.

marinamama   October 9th, 2008 - 2:18 pm

Oh reaaaalllly, Harry! Where have you been for the past two years???? Or better yet…..where are you now? Just waiting for a president you can control??? I thought so!!! Just remember what you create is yours……so when all of your investments tank, your freedoms are taken away, your country goes down the tubes….will you still give your blessing to BHO?? Oh yes, don’t forget about all the Middle East extremists dancing in the street just thinking about all they can do when this muslim leaning, terrorist symphatizer, communist gets in office. I know you will be happy. Reaaaally, Harry?

El Capitan   October 9th, 2008 - 2:20 pm

Reid = Scum

The lowest, lowest, lowest type of scum. How freaking pathetic.

InnominateUser   October 9th, 2008 - 2:20 pm

Playing the race card once again… please.

Reid is the same “American” who proudly declared that “We have lost the war in Iraq.”

Scary Harry   October 9th, 2008 - 2:21 pm

Harry Reid is a fool, a joke, a pathetic little partisan hack, just like the majority of the Democrat Party- A bunch of Charlatans.

David Rooney   October 9th, 2008 - 2:22 pm

Rat excrement all over the world is insulted by being associated with Reid.

The housing calamity in Vegas is payback for keeping this sub-human parasite in office.

Race is an issue. Time to get the ropes out for all the sub-human parasites like Reid and Pelosi et al.

agile   October 9th, 2008 - 2:22 pm

i want BHO tp be elected because he will totally destroy any possiblity of the Dem’s beibg the party in power after 2010. Wake up Rep’s, now is the time to go back toyour conservative roots and be ethical in all matters of government.

This will guarentee you being in power for 50 years.

Fanniecrats are liars   October 9th, 2008 - 2:22 pm

McCain needs to name names! Frank, Dodd, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, these are the SOBS that started this financial mess! It all started with Fannie and Freddie! Vote them out! Vote them out!

Sidney   October 9th, 2008 - 2:23 pm

Just listening to Harry Reid makes me want to puke! Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Dodd…they’re the reason this market has crashed! Throw the bums out!

kjjs   October 9th, 2008 - 2:23 pm

Not to worry Harry. Obama’s ACORN cronies have registered the Dallas Cowboys to vote for you and Obama in Nevada.

bigdoglv   October 9th, 2008 - 2:24 pm

As a proud Nevadan all I can say is, shut up Harry!

Robert NYC   October 9th, 2008 - 2:24 pm

Did Obama take the $126,000 or not? What were Obamas votes or recorded actions for the many instances reform was posed for Fannie and Freddie? If he took the money and did not push for reform – SHUT UP REID YOU WORTHLESS AIRBAG! If Obama took the money he is tied to Fannie and Freddie – Period! Racist? What kind of petty game are you playing Reid? Win at any cost I guess. use any defense, real or imagined. DID OBAMA TAKE $126,000 FROM FANNIE MAE LOBBYISTS IN 3 YEARS AS A SENATOR? NUMBER TWO AMONG ALL LAWMAKERS!!! HE IS TIED TO THEM WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT REID SO SHUT UP!

CARL6352   October 9th, 2008 - 2:25 pm

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHY WHEN THAY HAD A DOG AND PONY SHOW TO BERATE ALL THOSE NASTY CEO’S AND GET PICTURES FOR THERE DITRICT TO SEE THERE FOR THEM. WHERE WAS FRANKLIN RAINES MISTER 91MILLION SEVERANCE. THIS WAS THE GUY WHO GOT THIS WHOLE FIASCO ROLLING. GUESS WHAT HE JUST GOT A BACHELAR PAD FOR JUST UNDER 5MIL. THE DEMOCRATS ALWAYS USE THE RACE CARD THATS ALL THEY GOT. YOU SHOULD WATCH THE HEARING WHERE RAINES ACTUALLY HAD TO SIT THRU WHEN REPUBLICANS CONTROLLED CONGRESS. ALL THE DEMOCRATS WERE RANTING LYNCHING, RACISM. THEN IN 2007 WHEN THINGS STARTED TO UBRAVEL BARNEY FIFE SAID I SEE NO PROBLEMS AT THE FANNIES.THEY BERATED THE REGULATOR FOR FINDING FRAUD AND CRONYISM. PEOPLE THE MEDIA IS IN THE TANK FOR LIBERALS WE MIGHT AS WELL CALL IT PRAVDA OR THE CHINESE DAILY. FOR THE GARBAGE THEY PUT OUT. THE ONLY NETWORK THAT ACTUALLY LOOKED INTO THIS BOOB WAS FOX NEWS

Doris   October 9th, 2008 - 2:26 pm

Man, what a scumbag. Raines and the rest of the Blacks have sucked this country dry, everybody knows they run the big banks and controll the big money. Read up on the Negro Banking Conspiracy. The whole slavery thing was run by Blacks, they made trillions off of it aqnd blamed it on the Whites. Reed is working for them.

Vince in Sparks NV   October 9th, 2008 - 2:26 pm

If you’re wondering why Harry Reid is in office, it’s because Las Vegas is actually in California.

Watch out for Obama winning this election. It won’t just be racist this, racist that, all kinds of special programs, higher taxes and possibly even reparations will going to blacks. And if you question it, you’re KKK and all that other untrue garbage. If Obama is elected: race war. If Obama isn’t elected: race war.

Христоф в Техас   October 9th, 2008 - 2:30 pm

Before the liberals start screaming, ask yourself one question. Did you know that Franklin Raines was black? I certainly didn’t. This is not a racial issue. This is an issue of corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. This is a question of Sen. Obama’s judgment. Why would he use the former heads of these leading agencies, as his financle advisors? He knew full well, that these two agencies “cooked” the books.

To know he can get away with a lie like that just shows how in the tank the media is. Could there be no difference because Obama took $100 million from Fannie too? I’m so sick of these Dem freaks saying any lie they want with immunity.

DL13   October 9th, 2008 - 2:32 pm

Harry Reid, one of the prime players of the obstructionist congress who are trying to blame all our problems on Bush. I haven’t been his greatest fan but the dems shot him in the back in order to discredit him so they could first gain control of Congress. They have accomplished this in 2006; now they are going after the presidency, and thanks to their voter fraud programs like Acorn and the left leaning news media they are going after the presidency as well.

ArchNeoCon   October 9th, 2008 - 2:32 pm

Why the h3ll would I vote “what’s good for my race?”. How does that help my family? How does that help me make my mortgage? How does that help me keep my company afloat? Blacks need to wake up, and drop the “group think” mentality. We are individuals, and until you take responsibility for your individual situation first, there will never be unity.

steve arnold   October 9th, 2008 - 2:33 pm

There’s nothing else to it…

Well, I guess that’s true. If, you overlook the fact that Raines has claimed that Obama’s camp has sought economic advice from him. And, if so, they were soliciting the opinion of a criminal who bilked Fannie Mae out of millions of dollars by falsifying the books. Raines was also part of the Carter Admin when CRA was passed. Encouraged the lowering of bank’s credit standards while working in the Clinton Admin. Then oversaw Fannie’s buying of all this bad paper.

Other than that, I guess he’s right. Nothing to it!

Lisa mc   October 9th, 2008 - 2:33 pm

If Obama is elected, be ready for”racism” to be screamed every time that Obama and the Dems. don’t get their way.

What a poor excuse for a human being. He is not only an UGLY old man but totally stupid too. Please Nevada turn this a—–e out next election!!!!!!!!

Vo Reason   October 9th, 2008 - 2:35 pm

It used to be that the cry of patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel. Now the scoundrels cry racism. Methinks they protest a bit much. I learned early in life that you can most trust those who trust others. I think the same principle applies here. You can most suspect racism in those who accuse others of racism. They have bigotry in their hearts and assume that all others share their secret loathing for the minorities they deign to protect. They care nothing for minorities except for their votes. The true emancipators are those who believe that minorities are capable of standing on their own in society, if only the purveyors of entitlements will get out of their way.

Brightfame   October 9th, 2008 - 2:37 pm

If his birth certificate is correct, The Chosen One is actually 50% black and 50% white. So he has the “best of both worlds” — it’s actually racist to compare him to either a white crook or a black crook. If I were Obama, I would ignore the comparisons to Franklin Raines and just pray that nobody compared me to that slimy weasel Harry Reid.

Guy   October 9th, 2008 - 2:37 pm

I cannot understand how asking questions about this can be racist? It is their characture that bought these questions to light, not the color of their skin. Unbelievable….

The polls are wrong. Mac will win and then we will see the true nature of the Dems. They will scream racists and fraud and stolen election and anything else they can think of and the media will make sure all America has to listen to it. Go vote and turn off the TV. BTW The race card is so frayed at this point that whites no longer even listen when it is played…can anyone say sick and tried of it!!!!!!!!!!!!

rwilliam   October 9th, 2008 - 2:39 pm

If the current state of crying racism continues anytime an african-american is criticized, the african-american politicians may want to be careful, as we voters are getting extremely irritated by being called racist simply because we don’t agree with the actions or policies of politicians, white or BLACK!

If it doesn’t stop, the only solution is to remove the ability to use that lame excuse, and vote any african-american out, so we can get back to the issues at hand, which is HOLDING PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR STUPIDITY, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE!

GIVE IT A REST, HARRY! If you want to discuss racism, go talk to your buddy Robert Byrd!

alwyr   October 9th, 2008 - 2:39 pm

NYT (December 18, 2004)

The directors of Fannie Mae, the big mortgage finance company, will meet Sunday to consider the fate of two senior executives who signed off on financial statements that violated accounting rules, people close to the company said Friday.

The two (Fannie Mae) executives, Franklin D. Raines, the chairman and chief executive, and J. Timothy Howard, the chief financial officer, certified financial statements that the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday ordered to be restated because of significant violations in accounting rules over their treatment of derivatives and prepaid loans.

Fannie Mae said in November that a restatement would force it to recognize $9 billion in losses over the last three and a half years, wiping out more than a third of its profits over that period. Regulators could also force the company to raise its capital levels by billions of dollars, either by selling some of the mortgages it holds in its portfolio or through a securities offering.

typicalwhiteguy   October 9th, 2008 - 2:39 pm

Dingy Harry is such a loser! First he plays the race card then denies it before the words barely get out. Look Reid, you wussified @sshole, it doesn’t matter if Raines and company were green or “smurf” blue; they are CROOKS ala ENRON. Is it racist to point out that the ENRON crooks were white? It also doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the whole damned give-away program was nothing more than an extension of the “Great Society” which was geared to probably 80% poor blacks and 20% poor whites and others. Lose the PC BS and call it for what it is. B. Hussein Obama, the Marxist-Muslim, promoted the concept of home ownership for the unqualified via his ACORN connection on Chicago’s south side. Now come on all you little PC maggots, what race predominantly inhabits that area? Black people! There, I said it for you. The whole stinking program sucks when you consider that it is a part of the master plan to accomplish the socialist conversion of America. B. Hussein’s terrorist pal Ayers is also out to enact his part of the plan which is to subvert the govt. school education system with Marxist revolutionary indoctrination. His main enabler is none other than Hugo Chavez. Once the conversion is complete, look for B. Hussein to “come out of the closet” and openly declare his Muslim faith and enact Sharia law. Won’t the useful idiots that installed this traitor be surprised when he screws them as well as all of us white people and conservatives of all races. Old Barney Frank will find out how tolerant radical Islam is of faggot pimps!

jim   October 9th, 2008 - 2:39 pm

Obama received the second most amount of money from these two organizations…how is that not linked or relative? I guess we’re all racists. Things are getting scary and every good American needs to wake up and see what’s going on…the ultimate set-up of all time is being played before our eyes.

Marc   October 9th, 2008 - 2:42 pm

Folks, I read all the comments and for the most part agree with all of them….However….. McCain is not getting these thoughts out to the voters…. The Republican party should be demanding and suing today that all the “voters” that ACORN has registered in the country should be investigated to make sure of their legality…. McCain and the Republican party should be running no punches ads about the Dems in Congress and the truth about who did what regarding Fannie and Freddie…. The truth about Obama’s associations and the fact that he does not have one legislative accomplishment… Sarah should be allowed to go on National TV and radio and tell the American peopel that Obama is so unfit for President that SHE wants to issue a challenge that before the election she wants to debate him with no repeat no questions off limits… Run ads on radio, tv and newspapers regarding the challenge, force Obama out or show him to be the coward he is…. Sarah should say that everybody is saying that she is just a little no nothing woman from Alaska and Obama is this great man who for nineteen months has practiced running for President and can manage a campaign so she should say that she is willing to put her managerial skills and foreign policy knowledge before the American public mano o mano is he man enough??? This would shake the world and just might put Obama out of the White House…. Can someone here get this idea to Gov Palin and the McCain people?

Conservo   October 9th, 2008 - 2:43 pm

No one has told Harry he passed away years ago. Twilight zone. Hey Reid, smell yourself, then lay down and accept oblivion.

“We don’t know what to do”
“The surge has failed”
“The war in Iraq is LOST”

These are the inspiring quotes from a disgusting stain of a man on the senate floor. Hey Colorado-ans, stop drinking so much Coors and vote this anti-American, socialist, out of office next time he’s up.
Also, Yoodles……you have to be joking.

I would rather have a 3rd term of Bush, than a 2nd term of Marx, Lenin or Stalin.

MY FELLOW AMERICANS! WE HAVE THE SMOKING GUN, THE GAME CHANGER, THE OCTOBER SURPRISE!

IF we can get this into the MSM Sen. McCain WILL WIN the Election, PERIOD!

Sen. Obama, from HIS office in the US Senate sent E-MAILS to a RADICAL Kenyan Presidential candidate ODINGA suggesting campaign strategies, advice and support. Sen. Obama has made SEVERAL phone calls also to Odinga along with several e-mails. Odinga of Kenya HAD SIGNED a document promising to IMPOSE STRICT SHRIA MUSLIM LAW in Kenya if the Muslims would vote for and help him gets elected. ODINGA did NOT win the election, but he and his Muslim supporters have instigated RADICAL VIOLENCE in Kenya, including burning of 100’s of Christian churches. SEATOR OBAMA SUPPORTED THIS RADICAL, HE SUPPORTED THIS ODINGA AND WE HAVE THE ACTUAL E-MAILS, WE HAVE THE PROOF THAT A SITTING SENATOR, OBAMA, FROM HIS SENATE OFFICE HAS PHONED ENCOURAGMENT AND ADVICE! We have an active Senator, from his TAXPAYER PAID OFFICE ON OUR DIME CALLING AND E-MAILING A RADICAL IN KENYA DURING THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARIES! THIS IS NOT OLD NEWS, THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW, THE MSM WILL HAVE TO COVER THIS STORY AND COMBINED WITH WILLIAM AYERS AND REV. WRIGHT A STRONG PATTERN IS FINALY EMERGING!!! PLEASE, PLEASE E-MAIL, CALL, WRITE, DO ALL YOU CAN AS US CITIZENS TO GET THE WORD SPREAD! THE PROFF, THE E-MAILS WILL BE PRESENTED ON HANNITY & COMBS ON MONDAY NIGHT 10/13/2008 AT 9pm EST!

Now their are the corrupt newcomer activists who are the dirtiest thing to happen to politics in U.S. history. The Democrats are dumb, uninformed, conniving, and crooked people…and that’s on a good day. Obama is a closet “coon” and will take us where we don’t want to go!

Phil Lee   October 9th, 2008 - 2:47 pm

Harry Reid and the Democrats are the real racists. They use the minorities in their party like pawns and then trot out their hatred onto the people that oppose them. Wait until he suffers the fate of Clinton and Ferraro, when he is labeled racist.

Brian   October 9th, 2008 - 2:49 pm

Did he seriously just say that?

I made a co-worker of mine, who is an Obama supporter listen, and he was astonished that Reid just threw the race card out there like the big joker in a game of spades.

I didn’t even know Raines was black until 2 minutes ago….ahah

Obama supporters (for the most part) are off their freakin rockers..they follow this man around like he is god and can do no wrong…Wake the hell up and realize this guy has no credibility to run for POTUS, except that he is of age to do so.

Nevada Bill   October 9th, 2008 - 2:53 pm

Harry Reid continues to be an embarrassment to the people of Nevada and the country as a whole. He and the democrats have nothing to offer but playing the race card, lying about their stance on issues and smearing Gov. Palin and John McCain. Please mark your calendars for the 2010 Congressional races when Harry Reid is up for re-election. Right now he polls more negatively than positively here in Nevada but the dominant Reno TV media will come to his rescue as usual and we must be prepared for an all-out battle.

Neal E   October 9th, 2008 - 2:54 pm

The race card the Dems keep playing is getting pretty old, and is starting to backfire.

Like the boy who kept hollering WOLF! People start to ignore it. That is what is happening now.

White America is getting real tired of being called racist anytime there is a question of credibility with Obama.

CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER! Remember that little line Obmanazis?

Spock   October 9th, 2008 - 2:55 pm

Notice how racist the Dems/libs are, everytime something is briught up they cry racism, well what do you expect from the party that fought on the side of the south and tried to fillibuster the Civli rights bill and turned their back on Johnson for signing the bill!

Raines was one of Obama’s 300 aides of which he gave economic and housing advice and Raines also is responsible for giving Obama the second highest donations from fannie since 1989!

But no connections!!

Well I guess if Reid does not understand we are winning in Iraq he would not see the obvious connection between Raines who by the way walked away from Fannie with over 90million dollars and Barack Hussein Obama!!!

WTF   October 9th, 2008 - 2:55 pm

Can someone tell me who keeps electing this guy? Hes been there for what seems like forever but I honestly cant remember 1 good thing hes said or done.

Harry Reid is ill. Have some compassion for him. http://www.libertymind.com tells you what you need to know. A lot of people think he is just a milquetoast, but he is just a really sick puppy. No cure. Sad.

Harry Reid is delusional.

Brian   October 9th, 2008 - 2:56 pm

Yes! Any questioning of Obama’s record and associations is outright racism! I feel like I’m watching an SNL skit with how absurd these clowns are. How dolts like Harry Reid ever get elected is incredible to me.

Charlie Pang   October 9th, 2008 - 2:57 pm

I’ve lived here in Reno, Nevada for the past 25 years. Harry Reid is embarrasing! I can’t stand him, and a lot of Nevadans feel the same way. What makes things worst is that Pelosi, Boxer, and Feinstein live just next door. Sometimes I feel suffocated. Plus with all of these Californians moving over here our state is going from red to blue. It really sucks. I love Nevada.

Bert   October 9th, 2008 - 2:57 pm

Harry Reids comment makes any reference to similarity beween comments by George Bush and John McCaine racist also!!!!!!!!!!!

DemLove   October 9th, 2008 - 2:58 pm

This thing is over. A majority of the voters are tired and no longer care. They are placing everything in the bucket of hope. The democrat party is ecstatic over the power and money coming their way.

Alonso   October 9th, 2008 - 2:58 pm

Can someone please get that racist, Harry, out of the senate. What a liar. He’s a perfect incompetent match for Pelosi.
If BO gets elected, are we going to have to listen to the crud day in and day out for the next 4 years?!? When is congress going to denounce the racist ‘congressional black caucus’ or start a ‘congressional white caucus’? Since they don’t even know what racism is, my guess is never.

archconservative   October 9th, 2008 - 2:59 pm

You guys nailed it.HOW DO these people keep getting elected?They just don’t have the numbers.Here in Jax,a black sherrif thought he was mayor by default,because he and jesse said so!Black people JUST DON’T HAVE THE NUMBERS!!!!!!Somebody’s friggin’ with the riggin’!

Inside the small mind of Harry Reid:

“They’re on to us! Quick, play the race card! Everyone knows you couldn’t possibly take issue with a black man without having racial motivations. No sir, you can only take issue with white people. Women and minorities are to be patronized by our party by continually crying racism and sexism against anyone who challenges our…I mean their positions until further notice.”

~ White, Liberal Guilt is so embarrassing.

From the (LIBERAL) Washington Post dated July 16, 2008:

“In the four years since he stepped down as Fannie Mae’s chief executive under the shadow of a $6.3 billion accounting scandal, Franklin D. Raines has been quietly constructing a new life for himself. He has shaved eight points off his golf handicap, taken a corner office in Steve Case’s D.C. conglomeration of finance, entertainment and health-care companies and more recently, taken calls from Barack Obama’s presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters.”
???SEEKING HIS ADVICE???

Harry Reid—do your homework.

Jones   October 9th, 2008 - 3:01 pm

All all the Democrats in office racists?

Comments like Harry’s and Obama’s make me think so.

California Confederate   October 9th, 2008 - 3:01 pm

I didn’t even know Franklin Raines was black until the Obama camp brought it up and I’m more up to date on these issues than most. Crying racism is just a Leftist tactic to scare away dissention. A Facist technique for sure.

I’m now utterly convinced Democrat voters are among the stupidest people on the planet. Even with all the overwhelming evidence against Obama (Ayers, his Kenyan connections, Wright, Phlager, ACORN, Saul Alynski, and his pathetic voting record to name a few) Demodummies are still 100% convinced Chairman Maobama is the guy to bring about a new age of American glory. If he wins I hope all those middle class morons who voted for him lose their jobs.

demdicks   October 9th, 2008 - 3:02 pm

I actually kind of hope these dumocrat idiots DO keep playing the race card over and over again, because what just a short time ago was a certain career killer loses its sting every time it’s falsely used. Pretty soon the ACCUSER will lose all credibility as soon as they utter the word, especially these “civil rights” types that have made a living off this crap. You will soon see whites OPENLY jokingly calling each other “racists” just to make fun of each other, go ahead, make our day, keep it up libtards.

CJG   October 9th, 2008 - 3:02 pm

Hey Bert, what the heck are you talking about, your comment made no sense whatsoever, oh that’s right you don’t have to make sense you’re an Obama supporter. Harry Reid? who gives a wit what he says, most people think he passed away six months ago.

Dev   October 9th, 2008 - 3:02 pm

Again with the race card? Obama and his supporters have been usinging it since New Hampshire. I’ve read about 10 articles where the race card was used just this morning. Do they really think that guilt will get Obama elected? I know it is working on the young college students, some who said they felt if they didn’t vote for Obama they would be considered racist. But this is going to backfire big time. It only creates problems and upsets people. Obama should be ashamed of himself. He is the worse kind of politician as he acts so pristine and he’s a devil in disguise trying to create racial disharmony. He must have learned that from Rev. Wright and Farrahkan.

For the first time as a lifelong democrat I cannot vote for the candidate. His ideology is too Marxist and his behavior reprehensible.

Patriot   October 9th, 2008 - 3:03 pm

Funny but I haven’t seen one person here say the joows do the same thing when they are questioned!

You know like “Anti-semite”!

Heidi B   October 9th, 2008 - 3:04 pm

Yah, mr. reid – I guess all that matters to you is RACE pimping and that Obama “looks presidential” – Yup, looks mean everything. Yes, you got your “male model” but sorry to burst your shallow superficial bubble, but John McCain looks the way he does due to his WAR INJURIES. Yah, Obama wouldn’t know about that in his slick suits. Serious Times NEED Serious Experience and that is John McCain!

JustMeHere   October 9th, 2008 - 3:05 pm

Did Reid mommy ever read him the bedtime story of the little boy who cried wolf?

ricardo maxwell   October 9th, 2008 - 3:06 pm

“On July 16, 2008, The Washington Post reported that Franklin Raines had “taken calls from Barack Obama’s presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters.” [19]. Also, in an editorial in August 27, 2008 titled “Tough Decision Coming”, the Washington Post editorial staff wrote that “Two members of Mr. Obama’s political circle, James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines, are former chief executives of Fannie Mae.”[20]”
Dirty Harry Reid is a corrupt, lying little weasel. He should be tried and incarcerated for his crimes.

MDWhite   October 9th, 2008 - 3:06 pm

A message for Harry “Mr. Weenie” Reid and the Sunshine Hallelujah Chorus….shut up. Just shut the hell up. Quit playing the race-card. More and more Americans are getting wise to your filthy ways, Sparky. We’re not buying your latent white guilt crap with its thinly-veiled threats of mob violence if Obama doesn’t fraud his way into the Oval Office.

Rank   October 9th, 2008 - 3:07 pm

Want to see who the real racists are go to Google and search ACORN and Barack Obama. Sit back and take the time to read what you find. It will be eye opening! ACORN is far more than a voter registering operation, and Obama’s ties are diverse, and long standing! We need to gather in the ACORNs now, or it is going to be a long hard four years! The real racists are black, and one’s name is Barack!

James   October 9th, 2008 - 3:07 pm

The only way they deflect any of this from Obama is to bring race into it. NOBama, NOBiden, NOReid, NOFRanks, NODodd, NOAcorn, and NOPolosi

Gipperluver   October 9th, 2008 - 3:07 pm

What do we care what Harry Reid says!! Half of what comes out of his mouth and the rest of the Dems is complete foolishness.. Reid, Pelosi, and Frank all need to be kicked out of Washington… Better yet, lets give the Demorcratic Party to the left-wing nuts so the Independent Party can have a legitimate shot at the White House for once!! Hey Hillary, why don’t you do what Lieberman did and leave that moronic party and run on the Independant ticket… that would shake up the establishment a bit.. and you just might of won the Presidency for doing so!

Flyoverman   October 9th, 2008 - 3:07 pm

I think it is sexist since both Obama and Raines are men. I, for one, am sick of this continual male bashing.

This argument makes as much sense as REID’S so why not make the charge.

Karen   October 9th, 2008 - 3:07 pm

What a worthless piece of used jet trash !

demdicks   October 9th, 2008 - 3:07 pm

Patriot;
Absolutely, I thought that hack Gibbs trying to accuse Hannity of anti-semitism was hilarious, I don’t think anyone on the airwaves has been a stronger defender of Israel than Hannity has been, now suddenly this obama hack accuses him of anti-semitism. Just a hoot, gotta love it.
