Harry Reid: We’re not gonna let “five white men” have the last word on Hobby Lobby
Hotair ^ | 07/09/2014 | Ed Morrissey

Have we reached Peak Reid Demagoguery yet? I thought we had yesterday when Democrats signed onto Harry Reid’s Kochsteria strategy for the 2014 midterms, but we actually missed the new nadir for America’s top-ranked demagogue — but our good friend Larry O’Connor at the Free Beacon didn’t. Yesterday, when addressing the media about the Democratic strategy to undo Hobby Lobby, Reid insisted that the Senate wouldn’t let “five white men” have the last word on contraception mandates.

Um …

“The one thing we are going to do during this work period, sooner rather than later, is to ensure that women’s lives are not determine by virtue of five white men,” Reid said. “This Hobby Lobby decision is outrageous and we are going to do something about it. People are going to have to walk down here and vote.”

Someone‘s confused, and I’m pretty sure it isn’t this man, one of the five in the majority on the Hobby Lobby decision:

thomas-large

What, exactly, did race have to do with this anyway? It was a gratuitous swipe, a reflex reaction by a man so consumed by poisonous demagoguery and “vilification” that he seems to have become demented by it. It exposes just how dishonest and ignorant Reid has become during his long tenure in the US Senate.

Harry Reid is anti-White, anti-male, and anti-Christian.

Dingy obviously thinks he can make hay out of this artificial issue. How many Senate Democrats already at risk of losing this Fall crave a chance to vote against religious liberty and for more anti-employer coercion?

If the Supreme Court has ruled it a violation of constitutional rights to force religiously-opposed employers to pay for abortion-inducing drugs, how can the Senate change that fact by passing a new law?

The Dems hope this fires up their uninformed nut-brigade, but know this bill will die.

Actually the result (at least in any forseeable realistic circumstance) of the 2014 Senate election is irrelevant. We could impeach Obama now - that only requires a majority vote in the House. We cannot currently remove him from office, and that almost certainly will not change after the election. A 2/3 majority of the Senate is required for conviction in an impeachment case. There’s no reasonable scenario where the Senate split will be 67-33 in favor of Republicans after the election.

Just stupid about covers it. Nothing else to be said about Reid. Stupid is as stupid does or however that saying goes.

Notice he never brings up the race of the SC when they decide his way.

Reid understands the majority of today's electorate.

The opening to actually dare and ridicule the democrats is huge, but Republicans are too worried about losing lobbying power and what "rocking the boat" would do to their bottom line.

Of course... doesn’t help the Agenda.

But again... no one - no Senator on our side - got in his face, in front of a microphone and camera, about it.

I’d have thought, at the very least, Ted Cruz would have stood up and called him out on it.

I’m beginning to wonder if there weren’t just a tiny, tiny few hatched from evolution. Hunched-back Harry Reid walks just like a vulture!!
