Reid Compares Opponents of Health Care Reform to Supporters of Slavery

I'm willing to bet we won't be putting up with him for much longer..........

He should undergo censure for his complete lack of respect. He should apologize to the Senate or go fuck himself.. either way suits me.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took his GOP-blasting rhetoric to a new level Monday, comparing Republicans who oppose health care reform to lawmakers who clung to the institution of slavery more than a century ago.

The Nevada Democrat, in a sweeping set of accusations on the Senate floor, also compared health care foes to those who opposed women's suffrage and the civil rights movement -- even though it was Sen. Strom Thurmond, then a Democrat, who unsuccessfully tried to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and it was Republicans who led the charge against slavery.

Senate Republicans on Monday called Reid's comments "offensive" and "unbelievable."

But Reid argued that Republicans are using the same stalling tactics employed in the pre-Civil War era.

"Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right," Reid said Monday. "When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'"

He continued: "When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn't quite right.

"When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today."

That seemed to be a reference to Thurmond's famous 1957 filibuster -- the late senator switched parties several years later.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Reid's remarks were over the top.

rule of thumb... if willowijit posts it, it's insane.

rule of thum... i don't listen to opinion pieces from fauxnews any more than i listen to "opinions" on israel that come from electronic intifada.

 

[slackjawed]

I listened to him live myself on cspan and was shocked. None of the news outlets influenced that. That was all the desperation of Reid himself, didn't need anyone to tell me it was over the top.

^Edited to Clarify it wasn't Willow who said that, instead that Douche from Nevada!

Why is Reid Talking Shit about the Senior DemocRAT from West BY GOD Virgina, Robert "There are White *******" Byrd (D-KKK)?...

MeThinks he has Spoken Highly of that Fillibusterer of Civil Rights for Blacks before?...

Reid is an Idiot.

Way to drive that last nail in your political coffin Senator Reid. You can be sure to see that again and again at election time. You could have added a Howard Dean scream for the total effect. Thanks for reminding us why you should be under psych evaluation.

I dont have any patience for any political bull lately.....i'm becoming one of those crazy non-party types

 

[Claudette]

Reid is a desperate Dem. He so wants to pass this "Historical" healthcare reform that he will say and do anything to make it happen. I don't think he even cares if he gets voted out, so long as he can make the claim that he was part of this "Historical" healthcare bs.

Of course he doesn't have to participate in it so what the hell does he care that we taxpayers will get hosed with this crap.

He was throwing pure bs at the podium. I also have to laugh at how he says the Reps are obstructing. Jeeze, what the hell did the Dems do when they were the minority? Guys a flamming idiot. Hope he gets voted the hell out.

I see your mouth and asshole are hooked up any running just fine

 

[Immanuel]

well disprove it then

Prove that he was. You're the one making a claim. It's your responsibility to source it.

you say my claim is false prove it.

Sorry, Willow, I hate to side with a liberal (no offense intended Polk) on this, but if you make a claim it is your responsibility to prove it. Others need not prove that you are wrong. The burden of proof is on you.
