Harry Reid Denies All Obamacare 'Horror Stories'; 'All Are Untrue'

The Weekly Standard ^ | 02/26/14 | Daniel Halper

"Despite all that good news, there's plenty of horror stories being told. All of them are untrue, but they're being told all over America," said Reid.

"The leukemia patient whose insurance policy was canceled [and] could die without her medication, Mr. President, that's an ad being paid for by two billionaire brothers. It's absolutely false. Or the woman whose insurance policy went up $700 a month--ads paid for around America by the multibillionaire Koch brothers, and the ad is false.

"We heard about the evils of Obamacare, about the lives it's ruining in Republicans' stump speeches and in ads paid for by oil magnates, the Koch brothers. But in those tales, turned out to be just that: tales, stories made up from whole cloth, lies distorted by the Republicans to grab headlines or make political advertisements.

"Mr. President, these two brothers are trying to buy America. They not only funnel money through their Americans for Prosperity, they funnel money into all kinds of organizations to do the same thing that they're doing. They're trying to buy America. I don't believe america is for sale. We'll see, Mr. President."

Let the EXEMPT Reid come out of the Senate and say that.

There, the little EXEMPT bastard and his libel is protected.

[MrB]

“Post #16 was paid for by two billionaire brothers, and it’s untrue” said Reid.

[Fledermaus]

Thanks again Nevada. I bet you guys in Vegas miss my annual trip there since I quit going once you sent this idiot back to the U.S. Senate.

[PGalt]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “Harry POS Reid ALERT!”.

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal/socialist/psychopath/totalitarian.

[Diogenesis]

[MissesBush]

I really believe he has to be deranged making comments like this. Those ads are NOT false, but using the common Democratic tactic of picking a boogeyman, in this case the Koch Bros, and then calling something that’s true a lie knowing it will never be disputed by the left wing media, Reid is trying to smear the credibility of the people in these ads knowing he’ll NEVER have to back up his claim of these ads being false. Notice he provides no details about what specifically is dishonest about them? No, it’s just enough to create the impression in the minds of the gullable that they’re false and that will end any doubt about Obamacare among the suckers who don’t think for themselves. Yet there are Obama supporters like Jessica Sanford, who supported Obamacare, who is on record saying Obamacare was a raw deal for her. Why would she lie? Or Edie Littlefield Sundie a stage 4 gall bladder survivor, and Obama supporter, who went on CNN and the Wall Street Journal to document the raw deal she got with Obamacare. That a man such as this would stand there on the Senate floor and deny these realities and accuse them all of lying makes him an evil man-—or mentally ill. This isn’t name calling. It’s empirical truth.

[PGalt]

Thanks for the reminder, Diogenesis.

These criminals have quite the racket going.

That a man such as this would stand there on the Senate floor and deny these realities and accuse them all of lying makes him an evil man-—or mentally ill.

Could be both.

[MissesBush]

Good post. But you can be comforted knowing that as a man you can get Viagra and birth control pills you can get at Wal Mart for $9 a month are covered. Oh and so are cancer wigs. But seriously, sorry about what you’re going through.

[Diogenesis]

[Fightin Whitey]

The mann is either deranged or evil.

You can't rule out both.

[PGalt]

Well-stated words & pic. “Charter of negative (nary a peep from the USSC) liberties” BUMP!

KingHussein - For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

(and for using the words from our “Declaration” to do it)

[Revolting cat!]

They’ll beat you every time if you don’t know what they’re doing, and only personalize your response. The man is not deranged, and he knows what he’s doing. This is an old propaganda technique, a person of authority is telling you, who is seeing or experiencing a problem, that you are an isolated case!

[jiggyboy]

What would the left do without The Koch Brothers (sfx: thunderclaps)? They’re the new Halliburton, boogie-man brothers cackling away, pulling the strings of everyone from presidential candidates to random people in the neighborhood.

[Hugin]

This from the guy who claimed Mitt Romney never paid taxes.

[dforest]

Harry is incorrect on both and he is also a pathological liar.

Does that help?

If we had an effective opposition party, these types of statements, coupled with the testimony of the victims of ObamaCare, would be distilled into television ads, coordinated internet-based messages. In every debate, townhall meeting, and press conference, Democrat candidates would be called upon to either distance themselves, or justify these types of statements. Every Republican pundit would bring it up at every opportunity, every grassroots movement would be encouraged to help, and every candidate would be encouraged to hammer these statements home. This is what the Democrats would do, and it would be effective. By the end of this campaign, Reid would be as reviled as any man could be.

But we don’t have an effective opposition party. We have McConnell and Boehner.

[Hugin]

Self made American billionaires who support conservatives = “Evil puppet masters”.

Foreign billionaire who helped the Nazis find fellow Jews, describes it as the happiest time of his life, and funds massive leftist organizations = “progressive philanthropist”.
