Reid: GOP 'run by a talk show host' By: Alex Isenstadt August 6, 2009 01:27 PM EST
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid launched his harshest attack on the Republican Party in months, claiming the GOP is "being run by a talk show host."
Reid, armed with a patch of Astroturf, slammed Republicans for sponsoring town hall attacks on Democrats and accused the party of waging a barricade on Democratic efforts to pass health care reform legislation.
"I just want to show you what Astroturf really is," Reid said to laughter. "They're taking their cues from talk show hosts, internet rumor mongers, and insurance rackets."
"I just think, as I've said before, it's not often that you try to blow yourself up, but that's obviously what they're trying to do with all this vexatious stuff they're doing with these meetings, the birthers. It's a party being run by a talk show host," Reid said.
"These guys don't care about you," Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin said of the town hall protesters. "They care about YouTube."
"We can spot a winger," Durbin said.

He who laughs last Harry will laugh in November of 2010 when you lose your job from fed up voters in Nevada!
Go to hell Reid!
Rush Limbaugh is our mobfather... :)
Yawn. This was a talking point back in January.
Democrats: Run by The Joker.
Projection.
“Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin”
Aptly named jackass.
No Harry. It’s only when the Dem’s are in charge does the GOP ‘act’ conservative.
Wow, how long are they going to keep insulting Americans.
Is it possible that they really do think these people that are upset are truly just going through a role as an actor and taking instruction?
I don’t know anyone like this in the Tea Parties or anywhere else.
Is all the insults going to backfire?
Hey,Harry,how’s the unemployment and housing situation in
Vegas?
So speak the leaders of America’ largest criminal syndicate.
He’s sort of right. Michael Steele is the RNC Chair, and he is a talk-show host.
Reid and Pelousi-
the Harry and Louise of the democrat party ...
or is that the Thelma and Louise of the democrat party?
paint every thing and every body in opposition as a vast right wing conspiracy...why doesn’t he just say, “It was the joos!” classsic Saul Alinsky tactics.
This is as agitated as I’ve seen the Dems in a while.
They will try and laugh it off for a while but then they will turn more dirty as they get desperate.
I would be amazed if the GOP were ever that organized.
We listen to the likes of Mark Levin.
They listen to marxists.
Better a “talk show” host than a soon-to-be unemployed “community organizer”
