George Stephanopoulos complains Harry Reid’s ‘No Negro dialect’ comment was supposed to be “private”

idiot_harry_reidDemocrats will do anything to try and “save face”. In this case, George Stephanopoulos, Democrat shill on ABC complained that the now infamous Harry Reid comment about Obama having “No Negro Dialect unless he needed to” in the book Game Change was supposed to be “private”. Hey George! There are a lot of things that are meant to be private! Tiger Woods is a great example! Newsbusters has the complete exchange containing the “privacy issue” with Stephanopoulos and another ABC liberal, Kate Snow.

KATE SNOW: Comments from the Senator Democratic Leader Harry Reid getting a lot of attention this morning. In the book, Game Change, they quote Reid as saying that Pres. Obama, when he was senator, could do well as a candidate because he was, quote, “light-skinned” and that he didn’t speak, quote, “with a negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” Reid’s apologized for those comments, and the president even said the book is closed on this. But is it?

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Ah, well, you know, Reid was already in some political trouble. He’s getting, he’s up for re-election this November. He’s behind both of his possible opponents right now; he’s got a 52% unfavorable rating in the state of Nevada. Now, this was a private conversation, it was meant to be private, with the book’s authors in which Reid was explaining why he was pushing Obama to run for president in the first place. He thought he would be the absolute best candidate. But his choice of words obviously unfortunate. The senator knows that [Ed.: duh]. But you know I think the fact that President Obama has said this case is closed, the fact that other African-American leaders like Al Sharpton have come out, will at least tamp this down for now. But Reid does have pretty serious political problems at home right now.
