The high-stakes political battle between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has taken a new turn, and it’s as ugly as Jerry Sandusky’s future.
The Urban Dictionary, an fast-evolving online lexicon that promotes itself as “the dictionary you wrote,” has added a new definition of Reid that seems calculated to respond to the Nevada senator’s recent claims about Romney’s alleged federal income tax evasion.
“Harry Reid,” the dictionary now says, is defined as “[a]n unofficial rap sheet of alleged pederasty and sexual abuse of minors by anonymous sources that may not exist.”
The definition emerged, the dictionary notes, “after an explosion of reports surfaced online and on the airwaves, that [Reid] is a serial pederast. The outlets reporting the allegations all protected the anonymity of their sources, and no one knows if the allegations are true, but they’re out there. A spokesperson for Reid declined to deny them.”
It’s unknown who submitted the definition. The Urban Dictionary employs a panel of moderators who approve of reject new definitions, many of which hinge on pop-culture references.
Reid attracted criticism from conservatives after he told The Huffington Post on July 31 that an unnamed Bain Capital investor told him Romney “didn’t pay any taxes for 10 years.”
And speaking August 2 on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Reid doubled down. “The word is out that [Romney] has not paid any taxes for 10 years,” Reid declared. “Let him prove he has paid taxes, because he has not.” Ads by Google
Republicans’ complaints have largely centered on the anonymity of Reid’s source, which makes his allegation impossible to prove. The same phenomenon apparently applies to The Urban Dictionary’s anonymous, unsubstantiated claim — which is obviously false — that Reid himself is a “pederast,” or a man who has sexual relations with young boys.
The Internet meme that put the new Reid definition on the map originated within hours of Reid’s initial statement, when conservatives began to use the Twitter hash-tag “#HarryReidisaPederast.” At one point that evening, the hash-tag was the top trending item on Twitter in the United States.
“Some guy told me #HarryReidIsAPederast,” read one typical tweet. ”Not sure if its true, but I should probably just throw it out there and let the people decide.”
“So an unnamed source has told another that #HarryReidIsAPederast,” tweeted another user. “Reid is silent. Where’s the front page story @HuffingtonPost?”

Lol!!!!
The left had no problem making Santorum a disgusting part of the lexicon (Don’t google it) so why not make Harry Reid part of the same lexicon?
Hairy Roid touched me in my secret area.
A friend told me that he saw Reid and Sandusky enter a petting zoo together.
LOL, which one of you did it?
I think Wikipedia needs updating
Urban Dictionary has several funny Harry Reid definitions.

I wouldn’t p[ut it past Harry.........
.....he DID grow up in a cat-house when he was a little boy......who knows what depravity he witnessed or participated in there that could have put him on this sordid path....
Just sayin’
I didn't know about what kind of house he grew up in, but I did hear his mom is buried in a pet cemetery.
I wish I knew this much about all Democrats.
