WaPo:
To say the least, I don’t think highly of politicians as a class. But there are few politicians I think less of than Harry Reid.
For one thing, I’ve made a mental note of the seemingly racist comments Reid has made, starting in 2004, when he asserted that Justice Scalia is “one smart guy” whose reasoning is “hard to dispute” while claiming that Justice Thomas “has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court. I think that his opinions are poorly written.” (One can certainly argue about Thomas’s ideology, temperament, and lack of respect for precedent, but his opinions emphatically are not “poorly written,” and for some time he seems to have had at least as much influence on Scalia as vice versa).
For another, his recent vilification campaign against the Koch Brothers was, to turn his own words against him, “unAmerican.” Beginning in early 2014, he launched almost daily (and often factually inaccurate) verbal assaults on the Kochs from the Senate floor, and also established a website,www.kochaddiction.com, dedicated to the Kochs’ purported misdeeds. To get an idea of the tenor of the site, a page headlined “meet the Kochs” introduces them as “producers of toxic chemicals, harmful pollutants, carcinogens, greenhouse gases.”
Among other insults, Reid called the brothers “unAmerican” and “power-hungry tycoons.” UnAmerican? Really? Didn’t that sort of thing go out with McCarthy? And, ironically, if we’re talking “unAmerican,” how about trying to squelch political speech you don’t like? When Ted Cruz accurately accused Reid on the Senate floor of launching “an unprecedented slander campaign against two private citizens,” Reid spokesman Alan Jentleson retorted that Cruz was “rushing to the defense of shadowy billionaires who are rigging our democracy to benefit the wealthy and powerful.” [With apologies to VC readers whose heads explode every time Cruz gets a mention on this blog.]
The voters in Nevada need to dump this piece of garbage when he comes up for re-election. What other person can tell his employers, in this case the American taxpayers, that he refuses to do a significant part of his job, in this case pass a budget, and still keep his job?
Reid is a pedophile, how simple does it become.
