But the man who declared America a nation of cowards last February returned from hibernation today to rush to the defense of racist Democrat Harry Reid.
Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, defended Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Monday over racial remarks the senator made about Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign.So 11 months ago we were all a nation of cowards, hundreds of millions of us.
Holder told The Associated Press that Reid is a good man, and as Holder put it: ''I don't think that there is a prejudiced bone in his body.''
Reid apologized to Obama and a handful of black political leaders after a new book reported he was favorably impressed by Obama during the campaign and, in a private conversation, described the Illinois senator as a light-skinned African-American ''with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.''
Holder told The AP that the remark ''is unfortunate but I don't think that there is a prejudiced bone in his body.''
The attorney general quickly added that he thought the remark was unfortunate ''in the sense that it's created this controversy and raised questions about a man I don't have any doubts about myself.''
Today Holder can say without a shred of doubt Reid is completely innocent and has never harbored an ill racial thought or played the race card.
Democrats have lost all credibility of the race issue, which they've played like a Stradivarius for decades. To see racial hucksters like Al Sharpton and Eric Holder fall over themselves defending a fraud like Reid is laughable. But that'll never stop them from being racial opportunists at the next perceived slight coming from a Republican.
They have no shame.
