Please post articles, tubes, etc. on Harry Reid here!

I am very interested in learning all I can about Harry Reid. He is a man who has gotten away with way too much to be heading the pack against Clive Bundy. Please help me expose this man for the treacherous, corrupt, double-standard politician that we all know him to be. We can disseminate the info through the social media and hopefully it will get some legs and this man will finally lose some power.

Thank you.

Reid apologizes for racial remarks about Obama during campaign

Journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann reported the remarks in their new book, "Game Change," which is scheduled to be in bookstores Tuesday.
The authors quote Reid as saying privately that Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

In a statement to CNN, Reid said, "I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words."
"I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments.

Senator Harry Reid claims to be an ethical politician and he often employs his Mormon religion in order to demonstrate his alleged immaculacy. However, the reality is that he is, in fact, one of the most ethically challenged politicians in office today. This report will review his alliances with corrupt individuals, his support of ACORN, his ties with organized crime figures and his chronic failure to comply with campaign finance laws.

Harry Reid’s Alliance with Jack Abramoff

Soon after the Jack Abramoff scandal broke, Reid took the lead in attacking Republicans for fostering a “culture of corruption.” (1)

But shortly after making these comments, it was reported that Reid took almost $68,000 from Abramoff’s firm, its PAC and its Indian casino clients. (2)

Reid then tried to distance himself from Abramoff, stating, “[D]on’t lump me in with Jack Abramoff. This is a Republican scandal. Don’t try to give any of it to me.” (3)

Here’s the key passage:

Harry Reid wrote at least four letters helpful in Indian tribes represented by Jack Abramoff, and Reid’s staff had frequent contact with the disgraced lobbyist’s team about legislation….Reid collected nearly $68,000 in political donations from Abramoff’s firm, lobbying partners and clients…Abramoff’s firm also hired one of Reid’s top legislative aides as a lobbyist. (4)

And how did Rory's dad reap a million-dollar profit on the sale of land he didn't own? Reid bought some undeveloped land outside of booming Las Vegas in 1998 and sold it for the same price in 2001 to a company owned by longtime pal and casino lawyer Jay Brown, whose name has surfaced in organized-crime investigations. Reid got no money but got a stake in Brown's company.
Reid did not disclose the sale on his annual public-ethics report but said that he owned the land until it was resold in 2004. Brown resold it, and Reid got a $1.1 million gain on land that he hadn't owned in three years.

He apologized and was given absolution. You won't get anywhere with this one. Yes, he used the generational term "negro." He publicly apologized and a B.AA.N.C. gave him absolution.

He waited two years to apologize; only apologized because there was a book coming out quoting him saying this.

I would add: he was given absolution because his supporters stand by him, keeping focus on what they see as the bigger issues. We should do the same.

[h=1]HARRY REID'S SON REPRESENTING CHINESE SOLAR PANEL PLANT IN $5 BILLION NEVADA DEAL[/h]



[h=2]The son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Rory Reid, is the primary representative for ENN Energy Group, a Chinese energy company seeking to build a $5 billion solar panel plant on a 9,000-acre Clark County desert plot in Laughlin, Nevada.[/h]

ENN scored big when Clark County commissioners unanimously voted to sell the Chinese company the public land for just $4.5 million, despite the fact that it was appraised at $38.6 million.
Sen. Reid has been one of ENN’s biggest supporters, having recruited the company during a 2011 trip to China. According to Reuters, last month Sen. Reid tried to “pressure Nevada's largest power company, NV Energy, to sign up as ENN's first customer.”
Both Rory Reid and Harry Reid deny having ever discussed the $5 billion Chinese solar panel plant deal:

"I have never discussed the project with my father or his staff," said Rory Reid. Kristen Orthman, a spokeswoman for the senator, said he had not discussed the project with his son.
​

This isn’t the first time the Reids have come under fire for alleged cronyism. In 2003,allegations emerged that Nevada industries frequently lobbied Sen. Reid through his well-connected relatives.

Thanks to “Dirty Harry” Reid: An Overt Act of Betrayal by Both Houses of Congress

Marti Oakley
Activist Post
December 22, 2010

Well! Just in time for the rigged “vote” on the fake food safety bills in the House and Senate, CBS news claimed that terrorists…..in a place far, far away….were planning to poison food in hotels and restaurants in the United States.



With “Dirty Harry” Reid leading the traitors charge, every rule was broken, every trick was used, every deception was employed to force the passage of S.510 against the will of the people.


(CBS) In this exclusive story, CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian reports the latest terror attack to America involves the possible use of poisons – simultaneous attacks targeting hotels and restaurants at many locations over a single weekend.

A key Intelligence source has confirmed the threat as “credible.” Department of Homeland Security officials, along with members of the Department of Agriculture and the FDA, have briefed a small group of corporate security officers from the hotel and restaurant industries about it.

Most likely if any terrorists had been planning on poisoning the food in hotels and restaurants, their rooms would be paid for by Homeland Security or FDA/USDA. Its highly unlikely and very improbable that any such threat ever existed.

A key intelligence source was most likely the agent who called CBS news to get their co-operation in planting this story just prior to the last ditch effort to pass the unconstitutional assault on food production and supply, S.510. Leave it to Lame Stream Media to do their part in “crisis creation”.

Works every time. Just prior to every rights robbing assault on America, the media joins with “intelligence sources” to float some bogus report meant to scare us into compliance. The FDA and USDA jumped into the fray to flex their newly empowered over-reaching, unlawful authority.

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Excerpt from an article, Harry Reid making racial comments about Clarence Thomas:
[/FONT]

Reid has waded into the minefield of prejudice and stereotyping before. I can't help but think of his outrageous statements about Clarence Thomas back in 2005, when some were urging President Bush to make Thomas the first African American chief justice.

We all know Thomas's compelling life story: growing in the harrowing days of Jim Crow in the segregated South, struggling to break free from poverty and racism, becoming the first black child to integrate all-white schools, graduating with honors from the seminary and Holy Cross before Yale Law School. Thomas succeeded on his unquestioned intellect and his determination and hard work.

Thomas is one of the Court's most original and compelling thinkers, and his opinions are praised by scholars on the Left and the Right as important contributions. You may not agree with a single word Clarence Thomas says, and it may drive you crazy that he took Thurgood Marshall's seat on the Supreme Court, but you can't call him stupid or deny he's an important intellectual force.

Unless you're Harry Reid.

In an interview with the late Tim Russert on NBC's Meet the Press, Reid called Thomas "an embarrassment to the Supreme Court" whose "opinions are poorly written," and said he hadn't "done a good job" as a justice. But Antonin Scalia? Well, Reid said, he's a different story. Scalia, Reid told Tim, "is one smart guy."

Tim gave me permission to use that exchange when I was working for ABC and doing a segment for Nightline on Clarence Thomas and stereotypes, racism and double standards. Reid's comment's fit right in, because the segment was about how some people embrace the false and offensive narrative that Thomas has no intellectual firepower and is just a puppet of the dazzling conservative Scalia.

Here's the entire exchange:

RUSSERT: Let me turn to judicial nominations. Again, Harry Reid on National Public Radio, Nov. 19: "If they" -- the Bush White House -- "for example, gave us Clarence Thomas as chief justice, I personally feel that would be wrong. If they give us Antonin Scalia, that's a little different question. I may not agree with some of his opinions, but I agree with the brilliance of his mind."

RUSSERT: Could you support Antonin Scalia to be chief justice of the Supreme Court?

REID: If he can overcome the ethics problems that have arisen since he was selected as a justice of the Supreme Court. And those ethics problems --you've talked about them; every people talk -- every reporter's talked about them in town -- where he took trips that were probably not in keeping with the code of judicial ethics. So we have to get over this. I cannot dispute the fact, as I have said, thatthis is one smart guy. And I disagree with many of the results that he arrives at, but his reason for arriving at those results are very hard to dispute. So --

RUSSERT: Why couldn't you accept Clarence Thomas?

REID: I think that he has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court. I think that his opinions are poorly written. I don't -- I just don't think that he's done a good job as a Supreme Court justice.

That's not Mississippi, or Jim Crow. That's not the Dixiecrats or segregationists. That is race in America, modern-day.

In an interview in 2008, I asked Thomas why people continue to embrace this grossly false storyline -- why they sell him short, understate his intellect -- and why they persistently believe he merely has "followed" Scalia, when in fact there's absolutely no basis for that.

"Give me a break. I mean this is part of the — you know, the black guy is supposed to follow somebody white. We know that," Thomas told me. "Come on, we know the story behind that. I mean there's no need to sort of tip-toe around that … The story line was that, well I couldn't be doing this myself, he must be doing it for me because I'm black. That's obvious. Again, I go back to my point. Who were the real bigots? It's obvious."

But why no uproar, I asked. Why no outcry?

"People feel free to say about me what they think about lots of blacks," Thomas told me. "Because of the heterodox views I've taken, they have license to say it about me with impunity."

Or put another way: In Harry Reid's worldview, Clarence Thomas isn't the "right" kind of black guy.

Doesn't matter. You can't, on the one hand, use that word with impunity, and then vilify someone else who uses it in the same non-racist way. It's a double-standard that need to be exposed.

‘Fire Harry Reid’ becomes GOP rallying cry heading into 2014 elections

“We’re going to continue engaging voters who want nothing more than to stop Obama’s big government overreach and fire Harry Reid from his post as Senate majority leader after Senate Democrats paved the way for ObamaCare and stalled dozens of jobs bills sent over from the Republican House,” Mr. Priebus said.

The chairman of the Louisiana Republican Party, meanwhile, filed a complaint with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, calling on lawmakers to investigate whether Mr. Reid improperly used taxpayer money to fund online attacks against the Koch brothers. The Kochs have invested millions of dollars into conservative causes, including ads against Obamacare in states with vulnerable Senate Democrats.

Mr. Reid’s office brushed off the attack, saying it showed “Republicans’ blind obedience to the shadowy billionaire Koch brothers.”

Harry Reid, Modern Day McCarthy

When the Koch brothers donated money that was used for political ads — just as liberal political donors George Soros and the Steyer brothers have done — Reid rushed to the Senate floor to question their patriotism: “These two brothers . . . are about as un-American as anyone that I can imagine.” The charge of being “un-American” is also vintage McCarthyite slander.

Reid also has a bad habit of racial bigotry. He once praised fellow senator Barack Obama because he was, in Reid’s words, a “light-skinned” African American “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

When Reid was worried that he would not get enough Hispanic voters to the polls, he condescendingly lectured the Latino community: “I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, okay. Do I need to say more?”

Check this out on NDAA, no due process, and killing Americans... CNN'd Candy Crowley interviews Harry Reid, and when Candy challenges Harry Reid in killing Americans, Reid gives a Smirky Smile approving the killing Americans without due process. There yah go folk(On Video), Harry Reid smiles and approves the killing of Americans without due process.

March 11th, 2012
Watch the first 40 seconds, starting at 16:05, leads up to the Harry Reid encounter on CNN, 18:00 is a once chubby Judge Nap: http://youtu.be/jlZZ-87iPyg?t=16m5s

REID: No, I don't. But I do know this. The non -- the American citizens who have been killed overseas who are terrorists, and, frankly, if anyone in the world deserved to be killed, those three did deserve to be killed.

CROWLEY: And these were the three that were killed in Yemen. And I understand that. But just -- are you slightly uncomfortable with the idea that the United States president, whoever it may be, can decide that this or that U.S. citizen living abroad is a threat to national security and kill them?

REID: Well, I don't know what the attorney general meant by saying that. I'd have to study it a little bit. I've never heard that term before. But I think the process is in play. I think it's one that I think we can live with. And I think with the international war on terror that's going on now, we're going to have to make sure that we have the tools to get some of these people who are very bad and comply with American law.

CROWLEY: And you think that the president should be able to make that decision in conjunction with the folks in the administration without going to a court, without going to you all, anything?

REID: There is a war going on. There's no question about that. He's the commander-in-chief. And there has been guidelines set. And if he follows those, I think he should be able to do it.

CROWLEY: Senator Harry Reid, majority leader in the U.S. Senate, come back and see us again. Thank you so much.
