The saying is "if one doesn't know their history they are bound to repeat it". Harry Reid doesn't seem to know basic history.
Not only is he dead wrong, its really, really offensive.
I rarely call anything offensive when mouthed by a uninformed politician, but he should know this little bit of American history.
Reid Compares Opponents of Health Care Reform to Supporters of Slavery.
He believes that Republicans would be on the wrong side of history by opposing the Democrats junker of a bill to "reform" healthcare. He is wrong on that point to begin with, but the example he uses is wrong in every way.
For it is the DEMOCRATS that are on the wrong side of history when it comes to slavery in the U.S.
For it is DEMOCRATS that opposed ending slavery.
For it is DEMOCRATS that opposed civil rights for more then a CENTURY after the civil war ended.
For it is the DEMOCRATS the invented JIM CROW LAWS.
For it is DEMOCRAT elected officials (like Bull Conner) in the south that opposed ending the Jim Crow laws in the 1960's.
Up to the 1960's NO Democrat was for any civil rights for any one who wasn't white.
So who is on the right side of history?
Not the Democrats. Not then and not now!
Hoping for Real Change!
