Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called a proposal to make English the official language "racist" on the Senate floor yesterday.
"This amendment is racist. I think it's directed basically to people who speak Spanish," the Democrat said during the already tense debate over immigration reform.

this stuff amazes me. You're a racist if you belive in preserving our language and our culture. Harry Reid is a scumbag.

How is 'english' racist. I didn't know languages could be racist. I know words could be construed or meant as racist.

Man, i can't wait till i'm in the minority - i'm going to **** the system up hardcore.

Harry Reid is an asshole. Get a load of this shiate:

It's certainly not the first time that Mr. Reid has used stark language in the debate over immigration.

"Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care and other benefits without paying taxes," he said in 1993. "These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world."

Earlier this year, Mr. Reid confessed on the Senate floor that his anti-immigrant fervor "mostly lasted about a week or two" before his wife brought him around to the more open position he holds today.

But nearly a year after his "freeloaders" statement, Mr. Reid was on the Senate floor criticizing immigrants again and worrying about their cultural impact.

"We must reduce the annual admissions of legal immigrants to more moderate levels in order to provide for a better country -- both environmentally and socially -- in the years to come," Mr. Reid said, according to a June 16, 1994, report by States News Service.

When Mr. Inhofe took to the floor yesterday, he didn't address Mr. Reid over his charge of racism but did defend his proposal.

"I think it's an insult to Hispanics to say that we are not going to have English as the national language because you're not capable of operating and speaking and succeeding in a country like this," he said.

Too bad we are not paying his f***** wife to do his job and just maybe he should look into getting his balls back.

Now now...this is the most powerful elected Democrat in America and America thinks these guys handle the immigration issue better.

Normally, I'm a Reid fan, but this boneheaded move has put him on my bad side.

It's almost as bad as the repubs and their amnesty for illegals proposals.

I think I am going to be a minority real soon...

You have to marvel at the right-wingers who hate Hugo Chavez.

If Mexico had a president like Chavez, then that would solve most of the illegal immigration problem right there inasmuch as there would be economic opportunities for these illegals.

Even if you hate Chavez and buy into the right-wing corporatist myths about him, you have to wish someobody would do for Mexico what Chavez has done for his country's poor.

But Mexico has turned into New Colombia. Any President who comes out and shows he has some balls and really wants to clean up the mess in that country, I'm willing to bet they would be assassinated.

The same thing could have been said about Venezuela before Chavez was elected.
