Dr. Manny: Dear Senator Reid, I’m Not Stupid!

(By Dr. Manny Alvarez, FOXNews.com) - Today, U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-NV) — the person who holds one of the most powerful positions in our government — a protector of the constitution, of free speech and of tolerance — called me stupid.

Perhaps he was indicating that I’m mentally challenged or maybe that I’m just uneducated — I’m not sure. But what I do know is that his comments were a profound insult to me and every other American of Hispanic descent.

During a campaign event in Nevada Tuesday, Reid made an appeal to Latino supporters whose votes he needs for re-election in November, by making this condescending remark:

“I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, OK,” he said. “Do I need to say more?”

Yes, Sen. Reid, in fact 'you do' need to say more.
