Hey Reid, a little history.

Harry Reid (D-DC) calls the proposal to make English the official language 'racist.'

And we need to take his position on this seriously, as his party has shown itself an expert on this through the years. In fact, he's channeling a bit of Calhoun on this one.

After all, they formed the Klan in the 1860s, reformed it again in the early 20th century. Jim Crow grew out of their leadership, which had earlier led to Dred Scot. Rosa Parks stood up to his party's policies, just as LBJ rebelled against Senate Democrats to get the Civil Rights act through. And just as affirmative action and quotas continue the centuries-long practice of racism from Senate Democrats by insisting that blacks aren't capable of doing things on their own.

So thanks Reid, we'll take it under advisement. And if you're busy, you can have Sen. Byrd provide other commentary on it for you.

Sheesh.
