Reid: No bowing to ‘Tea Party anarchists’ on Obamacare

Sticks and stones may break bones, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just hopes his words are enough to get Republicans to back off Obamacare.

“We’re not going to bow to Tea Party anarchists who deny the mere fact that Obamacare is the law,” Reid said this morning.

That was just the start of it, though.

Reid used words like "fanatic" and "extremist" to describe Republicans threatening to hold up a budget until Congress votes to defund Obamacare and its exchanges, which open for enrollment in eight days.

“Are Republicans so intent on undermining President Obama and the signature health care law that they’re willing to inflict severe damage to our economy in the process?” Reid asked. “If Democrats don’t bow to every demand they have, we’re going to go right over the cliff...Americans will know exactly who to blame — Republican fanatics in the House and Senate.”

Reid was not directing his words at the entire GOP. He was more interested in pulling Republicans away from the Obamacare cliff by turning its members against each other.

“I see more of my moderate Republican colleagues stepping up to speak sense to an extremist element of their own party,” Reid said. “A few reasonable Republicans are wise enough to know that risking the nation’s economic recovery for the sake of a pyrrhic ideological victory would be another step toward a death knell for the Republican Party.”

“I say to the House and Senate Republicans who continue to deny reality...listen to the chorus all around you. Listen to what they’re saying,” Reid said. “Your conservative Senate colleagues urge you off this reckless course...What remains to be seen is whether my Republican colleagues on both sides of the capitol are wise enough to listen.”

“Are Republicans so intent on undermining President Obama and the signature health care law that they’re willing to inflict severe damage to our economy in the process?” Reid asked.

"Are Democrats so intent on destroying our economy that they will support a law that was shoved through against American wishes and is proving to be the most destructive economic tool the democrats have ever inflicted on this nation?"

The only anarchist here are Democrats who shoved this abomination down the throats of America and the Supreme Court traitors who unconstitutionally upheld it as law.

We The People did not authorize and have rejected Obamacare. And We The People will do everything in our power to remove it is illegitimate!

When Harry Reid speaks, it is the song of Satan. Make no bones about it.

He is an antiChrist.

Reid is one of those guys who are so bad, it’s hard to find the right words to even begin to describe him.

The muddled man from Nevada (I understand that his real home is a hotel suite in Washington D.C., but his constituents from Nevada keep electing him) is using the wrong phrase.
Anarchists do not want government of any kind. God wants people to have government, and so do I. We just don't want the current lawless government, It is run by power hungry bureaucrats that seek to enslave the people, and to apply different laws to themselves and the citizens. They trample on, and mock, the U.S. Constitution.
'Revolutionaries', or proponents of a smaller, limited (by the U.S. Constitution), government might be an applicable phrase - but not anarchists. However if you are a creature of the Washington D.C. behemoth, as is Mr. Reid, than anyone looking to restrict your power will appear to be an anarchist.

Interesting that Harry finds it necessary to employ Stalinist tactics to impose his Fascist agenda on the American public.

If Harry had any respect for the U.S. Constitution or the American people, he would find an intellectually honest approach to argue his position on the merits.

Give Harry a fish. It's the only way to keep him quiet.

If the Republicans in congress aren't as pissed as me about what this pompous old crook from Nevada is saying, I don't know if anything will piss them off.

Time to FIGHT!

This senile old fart has the Tea Party mixed up with the scum in Occupy. They say liars eventually go crazy trying to keep everything straight. Reid has lied himself brainless.

How cute, Lord Reid will simply ignore the provincials. This is starting to sound more and more like some history I think I used to know.

Anarchists? OK. This can be used. Time to adopt the tactics of those OWS anarchists the DOP is so fond of and Occupy Lafayette Park. Yup. First hype it up in press releases to the media. Say something really sexy that they just gotta send a crew over to film, such as “Anarchists Will be Occupying Lafayette Park” and other well-known landmarks. Then bring along the wife and kids and some coolers, and have a little picnic there. Then pack everything up, clean up afterwards like civilized people, only carry signs saying such things as “TEA Party Anarchy,” or for literarilly inclined TEA Partiers “Fall Apart. The Center Cannot Hold” or “Fanaticism TEA Party Style” and “Occupation TEA Party Style”. A few notes to Dingy Harry will also be useful, such as “Extreme Enough For You, Harry?”

There is a Politico article about this on Drudge. The libtards in the comment section are just delusional morons. Sort of like Dingy Harry.
