I’m sure you have heard the latest brouhaha surrounding the comments that Senator Harry Reid made in his book about Barack Obama. Reid wrote in his book that the U.S. was ready to elect a black president, especially someone like Obama who is “light skinned” and speaks “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” While this statement is stupid, does this show that Reid is a racist or a bigot?

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary on-line a “racist” believes that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. A “bigot” is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.

Let’s see which definition applies to Harry Reid. During the past years, Harry Reid has said some insensitive remarks about just everyone and everything. When George W. Bush advocated a surge in Iraq, Harry Reid claimed that the war was lost and we shouldn’t do the surge. However, history showed that the surge worked. Now with the Health Care Reform bill, Harry Reid has done closed-door deals with his democratic senators just to pass his agenda on Health Care Reform. He keeps claiming that the Republicans have no good ideas. Well heck, Harry, you probably haven’t listened to the republicans or even taken in consideration their ideas.

It seems to me even after his remarks in his book; Harry Reid is more of a bigot than a racist. He obstinately or intolerantly devotes his own opinion and prejudices and treats members of a group with hatred and intolerance.

Do we want bigots running our Congress? Do we want to tolerate the divisiveness that Reid has brought to the Senate?

The 2010 election is 10 months away. Can we wait that long to allow bigots in Congress to stay and write legislation that is not for all the people of the U.S.?

My opinion is that Harry Reid should resign.
