Mr. Goldberg asserts (I think?) that Reid’s remarks were racist:" Actually his point was 180 from that: "But by demanding Reid’s resignation, Steele is making an idiotic, nasty, and entirely cynical game bipartisan. Yes, there’s a double standard, but the point is that the standard used against conservatives is unfair, not that that unfair standard should be used against Democrats as well." His further point is that racism has come to mean little more than disagreeing with the Democrats - as he points earlier Harry Reid comments.
