Harry Reid: Tea Partiers Are Non-Violent ‘Anarchists’ Who Don’t Believe in Any Form of Government
The Blaze ^ | April 23, 2013 | Jason Howerton

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday equated the Tea Party to a non-violent “anarchist” group because, in his mind, Tea Partiers don’t believe in any form of government. He was speaking about the sequester and other financial issues on the Senate floor.

“We have a situation where this country has been driven by the Tea Party for the last number of years,” Reid said. “When I was in school, I studied government and I learned about the anarchists. Now, they were different than the Tea Party because they were violent. But they were anarchists because they did not believe in government in any level and they acknowledged it. The Tea Party kind of hides that.”(continued)

Yo, Harry, you dimwitted lying crook, Tea Partiers believe in the Constitutionally Limited Government established by our nation's Founders, men of intellect and integrity,
and NOT the Crime, Inc., Big Government you political elites have perverted it into, you desicable little pissant.

Hey Harry, we believe in a Constitutional form of Govt. Something that you despise, you frikkin’ moron.

You should really shut up Harry, when you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

> Interesting that he’s calling us non violent now. I wonder what brought that on?

Maybe because he’s finally starting to realize that all the crazy leftist liberals are the ones using guns to commit atrocious crimes and that all the Muslims involved in acts of terror are Obama supporters and will put his head on the chopping block once they don’t need him anymore.

To a lib, if we followed the USC it would be tantamount to having no government.

I couldn't find the section on anarchy or any mention of doing away with "Any Form of Government".

Sometimes what Harry Reid says angers me, but what angers me worse is that Republicans let this short mouthy turd get away with it.

He should be made to answer for his hateful rhetoric of Americans who do not believe as he does. Wher is McConnell?? IOf McConnell lets him get away with this, then Mccopnnell is guilty of agreeing with Dirty Harry.Wher is Boehner, Mccain, Lyndsey SAD Graham not one of these ballless incompetents have a thing to say when harry goes opff on his tangents.

Reid just attacked Republicans and our Representatives haven’t the balls to call him to task on it.

That must be projection of some type of bipolar disorder. As if there is nothing between complete anarchy and a government that costs about $4 trillion directly and likely trillions extra in indirect expenses from regulations.

Thanks, Harry, for admitting that the Tea Party is non-violent.

However, as an anarcho-capitalist myself, I can authoritatively say that most members of the Tea Party are decidedly not any sort of anarchists. Even the majority of libertarians are minarchists, not anarchists.

Right, Harry, and the Occupy folks were paragons of virtue.

So, did even one Republican take the floor and call Reid out on this?

Who in the world is inspired by the likes of Harry scReid?
What a gelding, empty waste of a suit. When is Searchlight, Nevada going to ask for its village jerk back?
