Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid walked back his accusation that all political ads backed by the billionaire Koch brothers are lies.
Opening the Senate on Wednesday morning, the Nevada Democrat said that Americans for Prosperity, a group backed by Charles and David Koch, is spending millions on ads attacking vulnerable Democrats for their Obamacare support using “horror stories” that “all are untrue.”
After eliciting several mocking statements from Senate Republicans, Reid returned to the floor several hours later to temper his assessment of AFP’s accuracy, if not his view of the Kochs.
“I can’t say that every one of the Koch brothers ads are a lie, but I’ll say this … the vast, vast majority of them are,” Reid said on Wednesday afternoon. “It’s too bad that they are trying to buy America. And it’s time that the American people spoke out against this terrible dishonesty of these two brothers, who are about as un-American as anyone that I can imagine.”

Harry Reid called Ed Koch a liar. Pass it on...
The incorruptible Berni Sanders voted for 20 million foreign workers because big business when along with his 1.5 Billion Youth Jobs act.
SUE HIM Koch Brothers~!
They are NOT public figures and he has slandered them
MAKE HIM PROVE IT IN COURT
I haven’t been keeping up on things recently. Someone tell me, is Harry Reid still an a$$hole?
Jeez, don’t get him started on the Kennedy brothers,
no telling what he might say...
...knowing full well the lap-dog MSM will report the lies and not the walk-back.
“SUE HIM Koch Brothers~”
They can’t. Anything harry says on the senate floor is protected. He can say anything he desires.
“these two brothers, who are about as un-American as anyone that I can imagine”
Why, Harry—do they embrace Bill Ayers and other un-American radicals?
I don't think he is an a$$hole,I reserve that for someone with brains.
I think he's more a incompetent moron.
Harry Reid... Proof that zombies exist and have infiltrated the highest levels of government.
I wonder if it would be appropriate to refer to Hairy and his brothers in the dem party as the ‘c&ck brothers’?
The Senate GOP leadership must agree by their silence.
Right. Nothing negative about Obamacare is true, all conservative ads are lies.
But somehow, conservatives are extremists???
Here’s the real truth: Harry Reid and all liberal democrats are thugs. They don’t give a damn if the mud they throw is accurate or not, just so long as it does the damage.
I would then ask him which of his lies he thought were the best and discuss each of them again, and again, and again.
I think good old Dingy would be thinking about his last days in the Senate.
reed...what a tool! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell will soon release a statement;)
No such thing as outrage and contempt any more. All status quo.
Because there is only silence, it is accepted to be true by the uninformed
