"So, Joe Biden is now a racist in your world?"

I guess his comment about Indians and Dunkin' Donuts was acceptable to you?

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking."

I'm just amused that when a Democrat says something you are deeply offended and disturbed but when a Republican says it they are just an entertainer or they were joking or it was taken out of context.Actions speak louder than words sometimes Goth.Bush sr.'s little brown ones comment was him just being cute I guess Goth. Or how about this.

According to you, only Democrats say racist things and the Republicans are anything but racist.Your desperate attempt at painting Reid and now Biden as being racist is just pathetic. The very fact that YOU are upset by Obama, a man you admire and respect and have never criticized is having such horrible things said about him is making it difficult for you to sleep at night. LOL!

The point that I wish you would distinguish is that there is a difference between questioning the beliefs of politicians who govern us and questioning the beliefs of entertainers who don't. I believe that those who govern us should be held to higher standards.

Rush is the only person he's mentioned that could be considered an "entertainer", Goth.

And that's a bit of a stretch...

Goth, I have mentioned the other Republican politicians but you just ignore the GOP racist examples I give and bring up your own.Why are you dancing around this.Those who govern who should be held to higher standards seem to not worth mentioning to you,unless they are a Democrat.Your hypocrisy speaks volumes on your own standards. You can't even admit Rush,by your definition an entertainer is a racist.

Can you explain to us why you are so disturbed by these comments about Obama? Should I go an post some of the things you have said about him? Are you seriously trying to convince us that you feel offended by Harry Reid's comments to Barack Obama?

And I believe that anyone who has a public voice should be held to high - not necc. higher standards. Just like I think humanity as a WHOLE should be held to high standards when it comes to equality. But definitely if you have an "audience" - whether an entertainer, author, politician, etc - you should lead by example.
