Is there nothing the Democrats won’t politicize?

[rbosque]

Global warming? Harry, people have lost their homes here and you’re making this into a political issue? Shut up.

[originalbuckeye]

Reid is nothing but an opportunist. Happily, I think people on both sides of the political spectrum are finally seeing that aspect of him.

[packrat35]

Harry Reid, you whore-shut the hell up.

[eyedigress]

Harry Reid is a complete jack-ass. There are many things that contribute to this problem, including arson.

[MikeHu]

Harry Reid is stuck on “Stupid.”

The vast majority of wildfires are caused by humans. Many fires are started as a result of debris burning. Often these fires are rekindled, in some cases several days after the fire is thought to be out, when air temperature, wind speed and relative humidity come together to create conditions favorable for fires to burn and spread.

Lightning also is responsible for fires starting on the Refuge. Such fires occur at a frequency of three to five every year. Lightning here is generally associated with rain, so these fires do not usually grow to a large size.

Human caused fires that start are most often the result of arson or carelessness. These fires are usually suppressed before they become large, but some have reached into the hundreds of acres and threatened life and property.

The Santiago fire was already confirmed as arson fire.

One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid

Oh please. 1. Harry, you have no scientific proof, 2. you enviro-wackos blame EVERYTHING on global warming just for the sake of making a political point. People have lost their homes and in some cases their lives and you're making a political statement about this?! Is that all you care about? California is a sea of fire and the first thing that comes out of your mouth is "global warming did this"?? Nothing about helping the victims? Nothing about sending aid? No sympathies for those affected? Just "global warming"??

Nevada, PLEASE vote this moron out of office in 2010.

One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday, stressing the need to pass the Democrats’ comprehensive energy package.

Moments later, when asked by a reporter if he really believed global warming caused the fires, he appeared to back away from his comments, saying there are many factors that contributed to the disaster.

This is the second funniest thing I have read in the last ten minutes (not the fire). At first, I thought there was an editing mistake and part of another article got transposed into the wrong story. Not the case. Harry is that stupid!

[EBH]

Ahh.. Harry, the fire chief said they were intentionally set...

[Armedanddangerous]

“Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), a presidential candidate, remained in California, where he successfully cajoled the National Guard to send six C-130 jets from North Carolina, Wyoming and Colorado to help drop flame retardant to stop the fires from spreading. California’s C-130s were not equipped to fight fires. “

They have jet engines now? Who knew?

[popdonnelly]

I wasn’t aware that global warming had increased to the point where it was causing combustion. I’ll have to see what Al Gore has to say.

[popdonnelly]

You might as well demean someone’s religion as demean global warming.

[SandRat]

Reid says: It's Bush's fault

[eyedigress]

Gov on deck, broke into FNC.

[nevs911]

“California’s C-130s were not equipped to fight fires.”

Umm...you may want to equip a couple of those for next years fire.

[Mark]

YO Dingy, ANOTHER reason for the fires is that it is OCTOBER!

[Shqipo]

>>>“One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters...<<<
—How sophomorically predictable.

[hedgetrimmer]

Fires in California = Sustainable Development

There, fixed it.

[airborne]

Reports are coming in suggesting the fires may be arson.

Does that mean that AlGore started them?
