Reid: Kochs ‘main causes’ of climate change
politico ^ | may 7, 2014 | BURGESS EVERETT

Posted on 05/08/2014 9:36:18 AM PDT by lowbridge

Charles and David Koch are one of the “main causes” of climate change, charged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the Senate floor.

“While the Koch brothers admit to not being experts on the matter, these billionaire oil tycoons are certainly experts at contributing to climate change. That’s what they do very well. They are one of the main causes of this. Not a cause, one of the main causes,” Reid said.

Now in his fifth month of flogging the billionaire conservative benefactors on the Senate floor, Reid dubbed them “multizillionaires” on Wednesday and mockingly applauded their spokeswoman for saying the Kochs and the energy conglomerate that they run aren’t experts on climate science. Wealthy liberal investor Tom Steyer challenged the Kochs to a debate on climate change last week in a full-page newspaper advertisement, but they declined to take him up on it.

It wasn’t just climate change: Reid also blamed the Kochs for imperiling an energy efficiency bill currently on the Senate floor

Reid has surpassed Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters on the stupid scale.

Good thing they don’t have to wear uniforms with the logos of all their contributors on it like race car drivers. Would have made this a very uncomfortable statement for him and many other Democrats.

No Harry...YOU are the cause of all the climate change, you farty windbag.

If you are that freakin concerned, do us all a favor: shoot yourself: save us from the noise pollution, the hot Co2 and the methane leaking from your orifices.
AND we’ll be glad to dump you on BLM land in NV so you can “organically” grow grass for Bundy’s cattle.

Slimebag....

Why should anybody care what a child molesting cattle rustler says?

And why does not one single member of the Senate rise up and shut him up?

Reid may be either delusional or has dementia.

I really hate Reid and I don’t like this. There is no way that a very senior and powerful public “servant” should be allowed to get away with saying this kind of stuff about taxpaying private citizens who have done nothing wrong.

Didn’t Reid get the memo?

It’s “Climate Disruption” now.

Harry, why should we bother spending a fortune on focus groups to test these talking points if you’re too stupid to remember to use them?

So, we put away the Kochs and climate disruption is taken care of?

Hmmm. Wonder if they want to take one for the team.

This is too easy.

Reid has surpassed Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters on the stupid scale.

That's because Queen Sheila has to take a break from the national stage to deal with attacks by the Mad Crapper in her district.

He’s an old white guy. Why aren’t they throwing a net over him and taking him to St. Elizabeths?

Warren Buffet owns or owned oil stocks in the Sudan I guess he caused Global Warming. He was asked to divest because of the genocide going on and he refused so I guess he is responsible for genocide.
