Harry Reid: “I Hope You Go Out of Business”
flapship blog ^ | 8/30/09 | flap

Political Cartoon by Michael Ramirez

Nevada Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is behind in the polls and now is throwing his political weight around.

We’re still here doing what we do for the people of Las Vegas and Nevada. So, let me assure you, if we weathered all of that, we can damn sure outlast the bully threats of Sen. Harry Reid.

On Wednesday, before he addressed a Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Reid joined the chamber’s board members for a meet-’n'-greet and a photo. One of the last in line was the Review-Journal’s director of advertising, Bob Brown, a hard-working Nevadan who toils every day on behalf of advertisers. He has nothing to do with news coverage or the opinion pages of the Review-Journal.

Yet, as Bob shook hands with our senior U.S. senator in what should have been nothing but a gracious business setting, Reid said: “I hope you go out of business.”

Nothing unusual. I think most communists wish for businesses to go out of business :-)

Hey! Whorehouse Harry (ack. J.D.), bend over and kiss your a$$ goodbye!

There’s a movement afoot. I got a feeling your going to see quite a turnover come 2010. I hope and pray that Reid and his ilk (on both sides of the aisle) will soon be licking their collective wounds.

As for you, Mr. Frederick, job WELL done! Don’t let up for a minute. As J.D. says, DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Has any msm reporter ever asked Harry “You said the war was lost in 2007, do you regret that comment”. ? My question is not rhetorical, I may have missed him being asked this.

The democrats now think they can use their power to put their enemies out of business. This might be the only chance for a one-party state they get.

The come-back line should have been, “At least our product can be used to line birdcages, or wrap fish, all YOU produce is misery for the America public!”.

Sounds a lot like what Senator Geary told Michael Corleone in the Godfather II.

And we all know what happened after that.

Reid’s gonna be looking for a job a lot sooner than Mr. Brown.

After Daschle and now Reid (at least as it appears) WHO will want to be the Democrat Leader in the US Senate?

Reid said: “I hope you go out of business.”

What would idiots like himself as an attorney do without business to sue?

The senator has lost touch with reality.

He never was in touch with reality. He's a democRAT.

That is what Bob Brown gets for being civil to Reid. A swift kick in the pants.

Why did Reid say this? The story is pretty scanty, and I know Reid is nuts, but what prompted him to attack this man this way?
