Mel Gibson has NOTHING on him.

But I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.

Mel Gibson has a temper. He said hateful things in anger in order to verbally abuse somebody in private.

Reid, on the other hand, made a supposedly clear headed public statement.

In his mind, he logically concluded that a certain segment of our population, defined by race, should all fall lock-step into the liberal left.

Because apparently this specific demographic NEEDS the social programs that the democrats push.

In other words: Reid doesn't hate the hispanics. He simply feels that they are incapable of succeeding on their own merit and ability, and require a democratic-led federal government in order to survive.

I honestly find this far more hurtful than an angry outburst, although both are misguided.

Don't be coy Robert.

Let me try this one.

All Jews should be republicans, any Jew that is not a republican is foolish. That cool with you?

What doesn't make sense?

Reids quote is: "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican."

Whoa Buddy!!!

Not being coy here. I both thought fully understood that what Reid said, if accurate, is totally stupid and very wrongful before you even posted.

Maybe my point wasn't clear enough: What does mentally ill, abusive Gibson have to do with Reid or his comment? I am merely refering to the fact that one not even ever consider Gibson to understand the stupidity and wrongfulness of the comment attributed to Reid?

That is, with no offense intended, why did Tailgater's post even include reference to Gibson? Reid and Gibbson do not seem to me to have any connection. Perhaps, tailgater could have just written:

"Reid made a supposedly clear headed public statement. In his mind, he logically concluded that a certain segment of our population, defined by race, should all fall lock-step into the liberal left.

Because apparently this specific demographic NEEDS the social programs that the democrats push.

In other words: Reid doesn’t hate the hispanics. He simply feels that they are incapable of succeeding on their own merit and ability, and require a democratic led federal government in order to survive."

Let's just discuss Reid's likley stupidity and wronfulnes...

I had a virus and didn't have spell check from my Google Too Bar to use. However, I just downloaded it so my spelling will be more accurate again, from now on...

I used the comparison because Mel Gibson has become the poster child for what a racist sounds like.

I guarantee that Reid's comments won't receive nearly as much air time, yet he's involved with how our country is run and Gibson is just an entertainer.

There are several reasons.

First, the Gibson tirade is fun to listen to.

Next, he uses every single taboo word and is literally about to collapse from rage.

But mostly the reason is that Reid is a protected species. At least by mainstream media.

I say what Reid states is far worse than what Gibson said. His delivery may have waned in comparison, but the message was signficantly more destructive.

The comparison was simply for conversation sakes.

And in response to gringos post, most of the Jews I know actually vote democrat. (I am in MA afterall).

Well, at least they used to. Many have moved away from Obama and have been quite vocal about it.

I think the major difference is that when Mel Gibson flies out of control, few is any will rush to his defense.

Whereas if Harry Reid says something like commenting that Idi Amin Jr. doesn't speak in a "negro dialect" (whatever in the hell that means), you've got most of the DNC, and Democrat voters making excuses or deflecting criticism of what he said.

The fact is, Harry Reid is a weasel extraordinaire. I don't say that because he's a Democrat, I say it because that's what the man genuinely is. Anyone who voted for the guy need to have their head examined.

For example, if both Gibson and Reid had SAID THE EXACT SAME THING, or something very close, then that would represent two identical points to begin a comparative discussion.

Then, if they both were consequently treated differently, that would provide two different consequences to distinguish and draw conclusions from.

That is my only point.

Gibson - Actor, Director & Producer. Acclaimed by millions to know his craft and a sure box office draw given the right role.

Reid - a legislator that ramrods poor ideas down the throats of Americans against their will.

Hmmm...even if they say the same thing...it does matter who says it.

That's a bunch of bull and you know it.

The "comparison" is two well know people who made racist comments.

I don't believe that you can't grasp that.

But despite that, and regardless of whether your vote could affect him or not, I'd love to hear what you think of his commment.

And not just a textbook "it is racist".

Put a little effort into it. I'm sure your mind is programmed to "elaborate" in your line of work.
