Anti-healthcare calls use Reid's number By Reid Wilson Posted: 08/12/09 04:32 PM [ET]
An unknown caller on a recorded message landed in Democratic House offices throughout Wednesday with the caller ID claiming to be with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) office.
The calls, which deliver an anti-healthcare and anti-spending message claiming to come from constituents, have hit several Democratic offices. But the number that shows up on the House's caller identification system shows the calls are coming from Reid's office.
The tactic, known as "spoofing," enraged Reid's office.
"An unidentified organization is dishonestly using Sen. Reid’s office number to mislead people and to create yet another distraction from the important issues our country needs to address," said Reid spokesman Rodell Mollineau. “American families are suffering and every day that defenders of the status quo spend on misleading and disruptive tactics like this is a wasted opportunity to be working on finding real solutions.”

old article but its common and easy to do
You really think he needs help looking like a fool?
This whole haelth care scam is reminding me of an old sci-fi movie. “Plan 9 From Outer Space”.
Reichstag fire
That is as opposed to "sen reid's" office using an unidentified organization to mislead people. "sen reid" would not have a problem with that.
Oh heavens.
Using the left’s tactics enrages them.
Get used to it, loonies.
I could hope that we’ve learned, and we are not backing down, but methinks this is probably done by the same “fakers” as painted that Nazi symbol on some demo-gogue rep’s sign.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the calls WERE coming from Reid’s office. Just like the man with the swaztika sign turned out to be part of Dengel’s supporters.
“This whole haelth care scam is reminding me of an old sci-fi movie. “Plan 9 From Outer Space”.”
Knock on Wood.
