Good. Lord. I can smell the pathetic desperation from here.

Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, was having second thoughts – or was he? – about the way he had characterized people who are disrupting town halls with “lies, innuendo and rumor,” and not letting others speak. They are, he said, “evil-mongers.”

A day after tossing out the term “evil-mongers” in the closing speech of his annual clean energy conference, Reid was alternating between pride in his coinage and knowing that he probably should be trying to defuse, not escalate, the turmoil erupting at town meetings across the country on health care reform.

“It was an original with me. I maybe could have been less descriptive,” Reid said. He also said, “I doubt that you’ll hear it from me again.” But a few minutes later, he couldn’t resist a sardonic little joke. “I feel I haven’t done anything to embarrass them,” Reid said of his children. “Except maybe call somebody an evil-monger.”

Call the village, we found its dumbass.

This man has either already rigged his upcoming election or is one of the dumbest individuals to ever step up on Capitol Hill. His approval rating is no higher than 50% in Nevada, the state tends to be more libertarian in these matters, his re-election is next year, and yet he goes around calling people opposed to Obamacare “evil-mongers”?

Remind me, were the Code Pinkos and other anti-war protesters considered “evil” by Reid for interrupting Congressional testimonies, destroying recruiting stations, and even pouring concrete on railroad tracks used to get supplies to our troops? Oddly enough, I don’t remember his strong condemnations of those whackos.

Apparently loud dissent is only “evil” when it’s dissent from a far-left liberal agenda. Otherwise it’s the highest form of patriotism the left can imagine.
