Reid: Town hall protesters are "evil-mongers"
2009-08-14

Town hall protesters are "evil-mongers," says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)

Reid coined the term in a speech to an energy conference in Las Vegas this week, and repeated it in an interview with Politics Daily.

Such "evil-mongers" are using "lies, innuendo and rumor," to drown out rational debate, Reid said.

"It was an original with me," Reid said of the term. "I maybe could have been less descriptive," he said, adding that "I doubt you'll hear it from me again."
In other words, "Whoops! Way to go to insult your own voters, Reid!" I wonder how many of the Olde Guard, overgrown with moss and mushrooms as they are, truly do believe that no community organizer-style action could possibly anything other than viciously artificial?

#7  Rantburg's own Miss Manners™ scores again.

And when addressing the honorable MoFo directly, 3dc, be sure to offer him some emetic tea and cookies....

#6  but I don't use that term for him in public....

Maybe I should?


No, no, 3dc, that wouldn't be polite. You must refer to him as the honourable Senator MoFo Mob Cas ino Lawyer from the great state of Nevada. Nobody can fault you for that formulation. ;-)

#5  You're right, Iblis, he is a Mormon. So...may we remind the good brother of 2 Ne 15:20 ~

Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

(Kinda sums up the MO of the dim bulb of Searchlight for me, but what do I know....)

#3  Reid should be careful about sluring people in public.

My typical name for him is MoFo Mob Cas ino Lawyer but I don't use that term for him in public....

Maybe I should?

#1  "Evil"? harry, don't you know that such simplistic black-and-white moralizing has no place in today's complex, nuanced, shades-of-gray world? What an unsophisticated rube you are.
