Schumer Agrees With Reid: Koch Brothers Actions 'Un-American'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

At 63, Chuck Schumer can still dance—for awhile. But eventually, age or ambition caught up with the New York senator. On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough grilled Schumer over Harry Reid's accusation, uttered on the floor of the Senate, that the Koch brothers are "un-American."

For as long as he could, Schumer moonwalked away from Scarborough's question as to whether the Kochs are un-American. As one of Harry Reid's top lieutenants—and a lean and hungry senator who almost surely aspires to take Reid's leadership role when the opportunity arises—Schumer was on the spot. But Scarborough to his credit was relentless, and Schumer eventually wore down, making a distinction without a difference. Schumer asserted that the Kochs "actions" in running their run ads "absolutely" are "un-American."

Reid and Schumer? What would those two communist POS know about an “American” action, since they spend every waking hour conspiring against it?

This is the same Senator who reminded Republicans that there are three branches of government...the house, the senate and the presidency, the same senator who made no comment after the President stated that he was going to campaign in fifty-seven states, and the same senator who made no comment after the governor of New York stated that Conservatives were not welcome in New York...
and the Koch brothers are un-American?

Just saying.

IMHO

Schumer Agrees With Reid: Koch Brothers Actions 'Un-American'

The only problem with the Koch brothers is that they didn't make a concerted effort to get rid of the SOB Schumer a long time ago!

There are snake-oil salesmen, and then there is Schmuckie Schumer. Of all the ‘rats in Congress, I think I hate this career liar and socialist the most.

Hey Schumcky, why don't you and that balless wonder Harry Reid issue a letter of marque against the Koch brothers? Just to make your unlawful targeting of Americans official.

Oh, I forgot, Limbaugh made Reid eat his on the Senate floor.

But stealing money from your campaign fund like Harry Reid did is like apple pie, Chevrolet trucks and Sunday chicken dinners.

Easy - they just define “American” differently and say the Kochs don’t comply with it.

Their ideology has been twisting the meanings of words since its inception in Genesis 3.

Schumer can’t wait for Harry Reid to die so he can take over as leader. He will undoubtedly push Reid aside if and when the Republicans win the majority, but he will then be just the MINORITY Leader.

What “America” is it that Harry Reid and Charles Schumer speak of? Is it the second of “two Americas” once referred to by former Senator (and onetime Presidential candidate) John Edwards?

The territory once known as “the United States of America” has been afflicted by these differing views of just what is “American”, but none of it is recognizable any longer.
