Republicans slam Sen. Reid over Romney tax claim




WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Republicans on Sunday accused Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of lying by passing along an anonymous claim that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes for 10 years.

Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus called Reid a "dirty liar." Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said, "I think he's lying about his statement of knowing something about Romney" and he contended Reid was "making things up to divert the campaign away from the real issues."

Reid's spokesman, Adam Jentleson, contended that Republicans were trying to cover up for Romney and the aide repeated the Nevada senator's claims that the source about Romney's taxes is "credible." Other Democrats said Romney could clear up any confusion about his taxes by disclosing them to the public, and the issue was a main talking point on the Sunday news shows.

Reid said last week he had learned of the claim about Romney's taxes from an investor in Romney's former firm, Bain Capital. But the lawmaker hasn't offered any evidence to back it up and even has said he's not sure it's true.

The absurd part is that Reid is refusing to release his own taxes. Can only imagine what that piece of shit is hiding. He'd fuck his own mother for more power or money.

By the way, my understanding is, had Reid made the comments in a public setting he could be liable of defamation, but since he made the comments on the Senate floor he is immune from any liability.
Is this true ?

Just orders from the white house.

Make no mistake this is the type of character democrats blindly support.

I think the overall official plan from here until the election, is for an Obama surrogate every week or so to pull something out of their ass like this that lasts a week or two, to distract Americans away from Obama's terrible economy.
It's a game of just trying to sit on the ball and running the clock out.

And the story gets more publicity....I'm pretty sure that the GOP is trying to sabotage Governor Romney by whooping it up a bit.

Is this true ?

You cannot be convicted of defamation without proving such defamation occurred,

In order to do that Romney would have to release his taxes.

Damn!

Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution provides senators and representatives the privilege of immunity, or freedom from arrest. This does not mean that members of Congress may commit crimes with impunity. It does mean, however, that senators and representatives have absolute freedom of speech while conducting congressional business. Members of Congress cannot be sued for libel or slander regarding any statements made on the floor of the House or Senate or in official reports.

Say it ain't so..

I'd love to see that smug asshole, Reince Preibus (who's got some nerve questioning other people's integrity after his own whoppers), call Reid a "dirty liar" to his face.

He might find out that's a bad idea with an ex-boxer.

:badgrin:
