Reid: ‘Don’t Pick On’ Sheldon Adelson— ‘I Know Him’
NRO ^ | May 8, 2014 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 05/08/2014 7:11:01 AM PDT by don-o

Don’t expect Harry Reid to launch a tirade against Nevada businessman Sheldon Adelson anytime soon. Speaking with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, the Senate majority leader explained why he targets the Koch brothers exclusively while leaving other wealthy donors for both parties out of his senate-floor criticisms.

“They are in it to make money,” Reid said. “That’s their whole goal here: To add zeros to their billions.”

When pressed why Adelson gets a pass, Reid got very defensive, pointing to his personal relationship with the magnate.

“I know Sheldon Adelson — he’s not in this for money,” he said “He’s in it because he has certain ideological views.”

“Sheldon Adelson, don’t pick on him — he’s not in it to make money,” Reid added.

In the biblical sense of the word “know”?

Ah, he’s not in it for the personal profit motive, leaving others to do as they wish,

but he’s in it for “ideological goals”, ie, CONTROLLING OTHER PEOPLE.

That’s far more noble, of course.

And we all know making money is a horrible thing.

Say Harry, how big is your portfolio? How much have you made while in the Senate? Are you in it for money?

Reid is unhinged, likely due to his age and ideology. The scary part is, no one seems interested in pointing out that the man should be retired.

Makes you wonder about Adelson if he’s such good friends with Dingy Harry?

The senile, old, turkey-neck doesn't have a problem with labor unions of all shape and form supporting liberal, Democrat causes.

Where's that list? ...the Koch brothers don't even make the top 10.

Never forget...especially if you live in NV...that this is the same idiot who says Federal Income Taxes are voluntary.

“He’s my friend.” “He’s not in this to make money.”

Official translation: He gives me lots of money, and the Kock Brothers don’t.

Reid’s unglued. It appears that for whatever deals he’s made with the devil, his payment may be coming due. The corruption of his soul has spread to what little of a brain there has been there all along.

> “They are in it to make money,” Reid said.

This from Dirty Harry who made his billions skimming off the top of the pork he directed into NV, as well as myriad strawman purchases of government land that was later developed and sold for orders of magnitude of profit. Not to mention the likely payoffs from the Mafiosi who run the Casinos and Whorehouses.

Guys like Reid always cook the books and take more than their fare share. Hopefully and soon the Mafioso will audit their books and find out where he’s been withholding there’s. Not going to be pretty when it happens...but it will be more than well deserved.

Adelson is most definitely in it for the money — at least as far as amnesty for his illegal alien casino workers is concerned.

Harry is trying to convince us that HIS causes are noble, so his methods should not be questioned.

While, at the same time declaring that Conservative causes are evil, and only motivated by greed, so they should be denied.

Somebody needs to get in Harry’s face, on camera, and point out his rank hipocracy.

To what end?

You should know by now that leftists are in no way shamed when their hypocrisy is pointed out,

because they are fully aware of it and don’t care, because the agenda is all that matters.
