"There is this standard where Democrats feel that they can say these things and they can apologize when it comes from the mouths of their own. But if it comes from anyone else, it is racism," said Steele, also adding: "If (Senate Minority Leader) Mitch McConnell had said those very words that this chairman and this president would be calling for his head, and they would be labeling every Republican in the country as a racist for saying exactly what this chairman has just said."

Kaine: 'No Comparison' Between Reid And Trent Lott
Appearing on Meet The Press, DNC chairman Time Kaine rejected any comparison between the Reid controversy and Trent Lott's fall from the Republican leadership in 2002: "But I will say, anybody looking at Trent Lott's statements praising somebody who had been a pro-segregation candidate for president will see that there is no comparison between those comments and those of Senator Reid's.
