Of Reid and Red Fish

There is one thing that you can always count on from a yellow dog democrat and that is that regardless of the issue involved, when all else fails, they ill either attempt to brand the opposition as Nazi's or as racists.

Enter one senator Harry Reid (senate majority leader). Who today likened any opposition to the democrat plan on health care reform, to those who attempted to cling to slavery over one hundred years ago. And if that weren't enough sauce for the goose, he threw in the accusation that these were the same type of folks who argued against women's suffrage. Talk about wielding red herrings....

"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."

Which leaves only the accusation that republicans are akin to those who manned the Nazi death camps and simply plead for more time to reach their "final solution."

What a load of bollocks and unmitigated trip!

Harry Reid is doing nothing more that bleating and beating the drum of the same dog eared rhetoric of the last thirty five years of the democrat party. If everyone is not in lock step with their socialist version of reality, then that person or group must surely be either a Nazi or a racist or some other brand that they keep hung within easy reach for those times when they are at a loss for cogent response or mature reasoning. Which by the way, seems to be more and more the case as time passes.

Harry Reid is an anachronism and a throw back to a time when Americans could be easily brow beaten into submitting to the name calling of liberals who felt that all they need to do to win an argument, was to assert that their opposition were racist. Well those times are past tense Senator Reid. So take your red herrings and adios!
