After Attacking Republicans for Months Harry Reid Urges Congress to Come Together & Have a Rodney King Moment
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, December 22, 2009, 8:25 PM
After bashing conservatives for months Majority Leader Harry Reid urged the senate today to come together and have a Rodney King moment.
Of course, this is just two weeks after he told Republicans they were pro-slavery for not supporting his nationalized health care bill.
The Hill reported:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday the Senate needs to have a “Rodney King” moment in its healthcare debate.
During a speech on the Senate floor this morning, Reid channeled King, the victim of a 1991 police brutality incident, who made his famous plea for unity after courts acquitted police officers in his beating, sparking the 1992 Los Angeles Riots.
“I’ve said to a number of people, Rodney King: ‘Let’s just all try to get along,’” Reid said this morning on the Senate floor.
“I said when the Senate opened today and I’ll say again because of the long hours we’ve spent here for weeks now, there’s a lot of tension in the Senate,” Reid said. “And feelings are high. And that’s fine. Everybody has very strong concerns about everything we have done and have to do.”
Here’s Harry Reid on the senate floor today pleading for a Rodney King moment:

The man has no soul.
In a way, that’s good to know.
We will never see him – on the Other Side.
Dell commented:
Somebody called in the poll results for Harry’s re-election bid. Today, he wants to make “nice”.
I can’t wait for the campaign season to get underway again, because I’ve got a few choice words for folks like Harry Reid…and he won’t need an interpreter to understand any of them.
From what I’ve heard and read lately, I don’t think I’ll be alone.
Bruce commented:
Yeah, I’d like to have a “Rodney King moment” with Harry Reid.
Though, I suspect, not in the same content he intended.
Joe commented:
I searched the dictionary for a word that would adequately describe HR. I couldn’t find one, so I turned to Shakespear. Harry Reid is a gorbellied folly-fallen giglet. Never trust one of those.
Kenny Solomon commented:
It’s come to that time of the evening,
To think of how lucky we are,
To be living in the US of A,
And driving our own choice of car.
Statists, they think we’re all crazy,
They want us all locked in FEMA Camps.
Try and force our minds into submission,
Our ‘nads hooked to high voltage with clamps.
They think patriots are sick and perverted,
And need much time alone with a shrink.
While they’re cutting the heart from our nation,
Telling us their own $#!T doesn’t stink.
We’ll howl and scream about taxes,
We’ll say what we want about crime,
They’ll never stop us from fighting,
For liberty never runs out of time.
So all of the Marxists can try what they will,
Totalitarian control of all they see.
With the first event that arrives at my door,
The real war will then start from me.
Molon Labe.

Harry Reid is a cretin. I loathe him.
Dick Nixon commented:
So Harry Reid would like to be beaten with nightsticks? Nixon knew people on the left are weird, but, dang.
myna commented:
If only all these democrats who voted for this monstrosity will be investigated and prosecuted on graft and corruption after the repubs take over the majority then justice serves.
manateespirit commented:
As Mr. T stated:
“You’re a disgrace to the Man race!”
Perfect description of Reid. Heck, I’m 5′ tall, a woman, and I know I could slap him silly. I’m past getting along with the likes of Reid.
Christian Toto commented:
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. But since the public at large likely didn’t hear all the horrible things Reid has said about his opponents in recent weeks thanks to an in-the-tank media, it probably will play well.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
The big problem here is the Republicans (especially the RINOs) can’t be trusted not to take the bait.
Brad commented:
Months???
Try years. Harry Reid called President Bush a “loser”. He wants decorum? Puhleez.

Is Harry Reid a little demented, or senile?

“Late night, closed-door deals will shape final health bill”

As if things aren’t bad enough, the “merging” of House and Senate should produce some more “favors” bought and sold.
How’s this for hope and change?

F you Reid, and the Nancy Pelosi you rode in on.
wanumba commented:
Well, which moment was that? The massive street rioting moment?
The pull that truck driver out of his cab and beat the crap out of him moment?
The shopkeepers defending their shops from looters with firearms moment?
This man helped craft a HEALTHCARE bill and he’s got a brain the size of a pea. We’re screwed!
One Way commented:
Buckets of vomit for Harry.
From coast to coast, American can’t hold it down any longer.
myna commented:
It is official. Harry Reid is a mental case. He needs to seek psychological help.
spayandneuter commented:
“Health Care Reform”
Sounds like the Health Care industry would/should be involved, doesn’t it? Where are the headlines?????????????
“Blue Cross/Blue Shield WANTS TO HELP THE SICK, WILL LOWER PREMIUMS”
“AETNA WILL NOT CANCEL POLICIES FOR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS”
No, the headlines are :
“TAXES FOR CADILLAC PLANS”
“TAXES FOR PEOPLE MAKING OVER 200K”
“NO MEDICARE CUTS, BUT WE ARE CUTTING THE MONEY TO IT”
“PREMIUMS WILL GO UP ON GROUP PLANS”
Are you getting my point, it is not a health reform plan, but a taxpayer/ insurance purchaser / consumer / reform plan.

This is a last ditch effort not to have his dreck owned by the democrats exclusively. This guy has no shame and thinks republicans are idiots.

See the smirk on Dodd’s face?
Robert commented:
After the most vindictive exclusionary partisanship in memory,
now Reid wants to let bygones be bygones.
Fat chance.
Sandy commented:
Yeah Harry we’re having a Rodney King moment–The Republicans and the American people are being beaten up by the thugs in the Democratic Party.
Now Haaaary get over yourself.
Sandy commented:
What we have found out from these Healthcare negotiations is that the White House is strong Arming Dems in order to get their votes and Harry Reid seems to have become Obamafied, a condition which is dangerous to your mental health.

Both Sides Now: Obama-Pelosi-ReidCare’s Unconstitutional!
[How strange has our Obama World become when two Republican US Senators, Jim DeMint (S.C.) and John Ensign (Nev.), are in total agreement with a tax attorney, Sheldon H. Laskin, writing from the Left?
Today, DeMint and Ensign are forcing a vote in the Senate after raising a Constitutional Point of Order yesterday on the Senate floor “against the Democrat health care takeover bill on behalf of the Steering Committee, a caucus of conservative senators.”]

Step Right Up! Who’ll be our 50 Health Care Exchange Czars?
[One Czar per state with vast sway over how Health Care funding will be reimbursed and policies written. Tremendous influence resolving disputes over coverage and payment. * Fricken golden appointments not to be wasted as we would say in Illinois.
So any guesses who these men and women might be? Any idea who the candidates in the back of the Chicagoan minds might be? This will be jobs bigger than working the Chicago Metropolitan Water Reclamation agency. Contracts and jobs to be dispensed by these Czars. Who’s lining up to be one?

* A Blago audio byte, if you must ask.]

Nasty Harry Reid telling people to get along… oh, the irony!
Elly commented:
What a damned idiot he is…
Insufficiently Sensitive commented:
Harry Reid completely misunderstands the Rodney King catastrophe. For him to make the statement he just did simply adds insult to injury to the Republican party, and to the country at large.
It’s as if the LAPD had successfully beaten up Rodney King, thrown him in jail and convicted him without trial – and then asked the residents of South Central LA to ‘come together’ for a healing process.
In this drama, Harry Reid is the beater, not the beatee, and he should be ashamed to be playing such a egregiously fake role. It was Rodney King, not the LAPD, who asked for reconciliation. It’s the Republican party who should be given the sympathy due to the victim this time around – together with the citizens of the USA, whose government has lurched into authoritarianism, as planned all along by the Democrats, and devil take the losers.
