article reminds me of people hearing that southern drawl and automatically assuming the speaker is less than intelligent, and knows how to skin and cook raccoons.

maybe reid could have spoken better, but if anyone takes a moment and a deep breath, and then reads his comments-then they might not have such a knee-jerk 'rush and fox said it's racist so it must be' reaction. this somewhat reminds me of when that fellow (a council member i think) used the word niggardly and got lambasted for it. demands for apology ensued-for what?! apparently for him using a word that some were unfamiliar with, and didn't understand...
