Yes, you read that right. Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, decided to open his big old yap again and say that people who are against the Health Care Reform bill are just like folks who supported slavery.
He also decided to add that people against the bill are no different than the folks who were against civil rights and woman's suffrage.
"Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right," Reid said Monday. "When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'"
He continued: "When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn't quite right.
"When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today."
Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are comparing us to folks who support slavery or, were against civil rights? I think it's time for Harry to find himself a nice history book and learn about his OWN party before he opens his big mouth and makes a complete fool out of himself again.
