When Biden and Reid make a stupid statement like that, it is going contrary to their record of advocating proposals that help minority Americans. They embarrass themselves when they slip in that way, and will usually apologize. That is far different from using a rhetoric that plays into racial hatred - Gingrich and his anti Muslim statement; comments of Kenyan anti-colonialism; several members of congress spouting the birther nonsense, making the "invasion" of brown people from the south into a big issue, while ignoring that this administration's record for enforcing immigration law far exceeds anything accomplished by the past administration. What percentage of those who believe that Obama is a Muslim support the GOP? The same with those who believe that he was not born here? Do you think those misconceptions started with Democratic propaganda? There is a significant difference in the way the parties fashion their messages, and the GOP fashions part of its own to feed into racist tendencies.
