Of course, Democrats were pro-slavery not Republicans but since when did facts matter to democrats.
On the Senate floor, Majority Leader Harry Reid compared passing nationalized health care to ending slavery.

Harry Reid since his last stroke has been operating with one tiny brain cell. I think Reid needs to be placed in a mental ward, the guy is making a lot of stupid comments, a sign of a serious mental disorder. He needs to be taken out of office , and placed some where so that he can not keep causing damage to the USA.

The Racist History of the Democratic Party
[Most people are either a Democrat by design, or a Democrat by deception. That is either they were well aware the racist history of the Democrat Party and still chose to be Democrat, or they were deceived into thinking that the Democratic Party is a party that sincerely cared about Black people.
History reveals that every piece of racist legislation that was ever passed and every racist terrorist attack that was ever inflicted on African Americans, was initiated by the members of the Democratic Party. From the formation of the Democratic Party in 1792 to the Civil Rights movement of 1960's, Congressional records show the Democrat Party passed no specific laws to help Blacks, every law that they introduced into Congress was designed to hurt blacks in 1894 Repeal Act. The chronicles of history shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party legislated Jim Crows laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as citizens.
History reveals that the Republican Party was formed in 1854 to abolish slavery and challenge other racist legislative acts initiated by the Democratic Party.]

and they all suffer fear of being thrown “under the
bus” syndrome.. that goes for all Congresscritters..

That crappy health care plan sounds more like that “fisting” thing than slavery……

BurmaShave commented:
It is Reid’s Health care bill that is closer to slavery. Its long term effects will diminish our freedom to choose and manage our health care, by putting everything pertaining to our health and health care under government control.
The Republicans, who are opposing Reid Health Slavery Bill, are the ones fighting against slavery. Harry Reid is becoming unhinged.
Blue Collar Todd commented:
Members of the Democratic Party and other Liberals like to attack Republicans and Conservatives on race and claim the GOP’s views would lead to slavery again. The sad truth is that Liberalism and Democratic Party politics are more in line with the morally depraved views that justified slavery. Democrats want the power to arbitrarily decide whose life has value and whose does not.
Robert commented:
Why is Harry Reid crying about Republicans when the Democrats won’t consider any Republican ideas or even let them into the meetings?
This is a Democrat-party-owned disaster.
JPM commented:
I have only one question… Where are the Republicans on the floor blasting this piece of crap? Why won’t they denounce these scumbags on the floors of the House and Senate on the record? Why do they wait to “protest” at some meaningless out-in-the-hallway “news conference” that nobody watches?
The Republican Party is nothing but a joke and our government is nothing short of a Banana Republic-”esque” collection of brain damaged lunatics.
But I’ll bet that Reid, Pelosi and the rest will be back in 2011 because the majority of this dumb ass country simply hasn’t got a clue.

Obama Care is bad for our health.

Well, the HuffPo is saying Palin is a racist. This after the MSM has called TEA Partiers racists as well. It’s all the typical liberal spew: everyone but us is racist.

Let’s stick to the facts people, they have served us well so far. The liberal mud-slinging and name calling will eventually fall at the hand of honesty and determination. Actually even rebutting this fool is a waste of time. First we support slavery, if that doesn’t get a reaction, then we are terrorists? Come on Harry, have your warm milk and get to bed.
Stay the course. Don’t loose focus now. Every comment, every accusation, and every lie is intended to distract while ‘other’ things are taking place. As Glenn Beck said, “watch the OTHER hand”, that’s the one that’s important.

Harry Reid:
You stupid Taxpayers who don’t want ObamaCare shoved down your throats are Pro-Slavery!
No, I will not be joining ObamaCare. I have my lush government health care plan, my huge government Paycheck and my Limousine.
Yes, it maybe deceitful of me but, you must remember I am a wealth Senator. So, I don’t need that crappy ObamaCare. Taxpayers suck. They deserve a crappy health care plan. I do not. I can’t answer any more questions. Good day.
Franklin commented:
I wonder who will throw the first shoe at Harry. Just hope it’s not a pointy-toe in the eye – that would garner too much sympathy!
drjohn commented:
Reid is a Mormon.
Ask him when blacks were recognized by the Mormon church and when blacks were allowed into the church.
LOL
Neoavatara commented:
Harry Reid should step down as majority leader. Enough is enough. He continually insulted President Bush. He now insults more than half of his own constituents by making a racist attack. Do Democrats really want this fool to lead them?

JPM – Bingo! GOP Senators, are they all Zombies?
All it would take is to quote Dingy Harry a la:
“The distinguished gentleman from Nevada, the Democrat Party’s esteemed Majority Leader of this body told us that the supporters of slavery used the filibuster”. He is correct and they were Democrats. The Republican Party was founded in opposition to slavery.
“The distinguished gentleman from Nevada, the Democrat Party’s esteemed Majority Leader of this body told us that the opponents of Civil Rights used the filibuster”. The honorable Senator Reid is again correct… and they were Democrats. Indeed, our Body is blessed by the membership of former Democrat Majority Leader Robert Byrd, who holds the record for the length of his filibuster in opposition to Civil Rights.” And yes he’s always been a Democrat.
Where far, far too many of our fellow American citizens of African-American heritage languish in the ghettos in our big cities, whose opportunities are stunted by failing government schools, failing government housing programs, failing government welfare programs, failing government health programs, failing government are all, all run by the Democrat Party.
You’d think by looking at the practical results that the Democrat Party doesn’t like Black people or why would they do this to Black Americans in our inner cities over the period of decades? Why do Democrats stick with failure, maintain destructive policies for years and years, if that’s not what they want?
Could Black Americans suffer more, if the Democrat Party were out and out run by the KKK? How’d it be different?
Robert commented:
Fitting that Reid should say this while attempting to create a national medical ghetto for the poor, and drag the rest of us into it.

Let’s not overlook that he’s a major player in the current WA mob that’s just sold the next few generations into slavery via the deficit.
Oh, the irony.
