"African-Americans For Harry Reid" Facebook Page Lists 5 Fans… 4 Are White

The African-Americans for Harry Reid Facebook Page lists 5 fans… 4 are white.
Also, The “African-Americans for Harry Reid” luncheon will go on as planned despite the reports this weekend that Reid called Barack Obama a light-skinned negro.
The Hill reported:
The Senate’s embattled majority leader is moving ahead with an “African Americans for Harry Reid” event this week as he seeks to weather a political firestorm sparked by his racially insensitive remarks about President Barack Obama.
The timing of the launch of the “African Americans for Harry Reid” campaign group, which is scheduled for Thursday in Las Vegas, is coincidental. The luncheon had been scheduled for weeks.
Reid has apologized for remarks he made in 2008 that described Obama as “”light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” The comments were reported in a new book titled, “Game Changer.”
Despite the controversy playing out in the national media, Democratic political strategist Donna Brazile is scheduled to headline the group’s launch event in Nevada. She told The Hill in an e-mail Monday that the launch “is still on, and I’m still on track to go.”

Obama is not an African American, he is an African Muslim. Sure, he can fake the shuck and jive if that’s what Harry meant, but his real tongue is Bahasa Indonesia.

Shouldn’t it be Negro’s for Harry pinky Reid? How many Negro’s will show up I wonder. Does Harry know a lot of Negro’s. Since it is no ok to use Negro I will use it all the time even if it doesn’t make sense.
Daniel commented:
Actually, BO is thin skinned.
And Reid? He’s just full of it.
Lynn B commented:
See, all is not forgiven. Sharpton was gritting his teeth talking to Coulter. All the outrage and racism has left the building. LOL!!!!
Imagine the fuming that is going on. Too rich for words. LOL!
Stephen commented:
Those four are just as black as Bill Clinton.
opaobie commented:
Reporter: Senator Reid, is it true your favorite children’s story is “Li’l Black Sambo”, your favorite song is “Stay in Your Own Back Yard” and do you still have your “Aunt Jemima” apron from when you attended cooking school in the 1960s?
Scrapiron commented:
Take it easy folks. Less than 10% of blacks are out of the ghetto and educated outside the liberal school system. The rest never heard of Facebook, unless it’s smashing they’re momma in the face with a book.
Peter Warner commented:
The liberal-left is so devoted to a race-conscious point of view and values, that they are blind to their own sickness. The simple truth is that race-consciousness is also racism.
Diversity of perspective, applied to a unified and understood purpose, is a strength. Skin color has nothing to do with credibility or values.
Those who support American values should promote ‘Americans for ~’ associations, not identity groups, and certainly not racial identity groups.
Best regards, Peter Warner.

Stephen…lol! That was funny!

It’s up to 13 now. And all are descendants of Africans….who lived in Africa a long, long, looong time ago.
proof commented:
The fans were all “light skinned” whites, with no Caucasian dialect, “unless they wanted to have one.”
sliderblaze commented:
Steven A. Smith was great on hannity tonight.
JB commented:
Harry will get more once he polishes up that ‘negro dialect’ of his.
Andreas K. commented:
Now imagine a Republican, conservative or even libertarian would say the same.
Riots in the streets.
Meg commented:
Maybe they’re South African-Americans..
Meg commented:
Actually, it’s a joke page. If you click on the photos, you can see that it is satire. Now there is another FB page with same name that is an organization with many more black members.

“Despite the controversy playing out in the national media…”
Say what? Aside from Fox, the MSM are ignoring it.

Harry will lose four of those five fans when they learn of this chicanery.

No, they are not white, they are just really, really, really light skinned Negroes.

“Now imagine a Republican, conservative or even libertarian would say the same.

Another yes. I am astounded by the silence, the shuffling…the amazing political dance that makes this a total non-issue where-as if someone ‘other’ had made such an aloof mistake…voices would be loud and the virtual world would be on fire.
Is this a huge event? Nah, but I’d like to think it would quiet some of the standard Racial arguments being hurled around against dissenters. I don’t think it will, which leads back to Andreas and his post. No, the sleight-of-mind is not being recognized.
I’d posted my say on the SLATE Facebook article…so far the other responses are non-existent (meaning no-one cares, not going to bother), quipped or basically calling this a poor choice of words. (See, that’s all it is. Remember that.)
Hmmn. Manufactured, again? Well, yes, I do feel a bit processed…
daryl commented:
All is forgiven.
BrackO says, “please don’t make hay” out of Hairy’s remarks about “light skins” and “dialects”.
I hereby promise not to make hay out of it but still can’t keep from ROTFLMAO about the ignorant old fool saying it.
eddiebear commented:
were they light skinned Negroes?
Finncrisp commented:
Harry Reid may be cunning, but the man is not smart.
This will, sadly blow over too soon. We are stuck with him until Nevada sends him packing.
mojo commented:
Tuhreeeeza Kerry on there?
David commented:
I like there is now 220 fans since yesterday. And most of them are ripping on it! LOL.

[Recently, retired military have received e-mail messages
notifying them of a withholding tax increase. The email states:
NO ANNUAL COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA)
WILL BE ADDED TO MILITARY RETIRED PAY IN 2010.
DUE TO RECENT LEGISLATION YOUR FEDERAL
WITHHOLDING TAX HAS CHANGED.
After much investigating and several discussions with the IRS, it appears the Democrats have played a “cash-flow trick” on working Americans and are taking more out of American’s paychecks across the board–all the while touting the Making Work Pay tax credit.]
aside from wanting to bring US to our knees.. Obama
hates & wants to DEFEAT our beloved troops.. *sigh*

Let’s take a wholesome honest look at things here. It has been widely under reported that after two decades in office, sir Harry never had a “black” staff member in his personal political organization until 2008!!!! OMG! Don’t ya’all find that a little disingenuous?
