Harry Reid: 'Republicans Are Addicted To Koch'

[MindMover]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on Tuesday continued his crusade against the billionaire Koch brothers, who donate heavily to Republican causes.

"Senate Republicans are addicted to Koch," he said on the Senate floor.

"In fact, Senate Republicans hardly need the NRSC anymore," he said. "They've got the Koch brothers. Besides, the NRSC can’t hide its donors’ identities, like Koch-funded front groups can."

Reid again accused the brothers, Charles and David Koch, of "pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into a massive campaign of deception." He boasted that "anyone who has turned on Fox News lately knows I've gotten under Charles and David Koch's skin."

1. Has Harry Reid been reading DU lately?

He must be getting his ideas from us.

Nevertheless, Give'em hell, Harry! Keep telling the truth about'em!

2. Kudos for using a pun I've been shopping around for years

But to those suckered in by the misinformation and phony outrage machine, i.e. the "Koch-heads" , any attempt to shake truth into their heads must sound like Charlie Brown's teacher. Otherwise, Reid is preaching to the choir here.

3. Wow. It isn't cancer you feel growing in your body, Harry. It's called a backbone

and those can be dangerous, because backbones lead to courage. . .and courage may lead to doing something that might be correct, but politically unfavorable because teabaggers don't like it and the Republicans will vilify you.

4. Joe Scar was having shitfits over Reid's comment today on Morning Joe...

tee hee...he was doin' the old false equivalence dance of "yes, the republicans say bad things but so do the democrats." It was embarrassing.

5. Koch bros

Morning Joe gets paid well to protect the Koch bros . Why do democrats never use the word treason
when referring to the voter suppression of the Koch bros. or Pope in N.C.
