Reid: hey, it worked the first time, so why not?
Senate majority leader Harry Reid has a whole page on his official Senate.gov website devoted to revealing “THE FACTS ABOUT THE KOCH BROTHERS.” One of the alleged facts promoted on Reid’s website is that the Kochs do not pay any corporate taxes…
The claim that the Koch brothers don’t pay corporate income taxes was first made by former White House official Austan Goolsbee, but Koch Industries lawyer Mark Holden disputed the accusation and raised the question of whether someone in the Obama administration illegally accessed the Kochs’ tax returns. Goolsbee’s comments led to a federal investigation–the results of which have never been released.
In October 2010, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that Goolsbee’s claim “was wrong.” But that hasn’t stopped the Senate majority leader from promoting the claim four years later.
Of course it hasn’t. Because nothing stopped him when he asserted a similar lie about Romney during the 2012 campaign (adding, for good measure, “His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son”). One thing of which I’m pretty sure: Reid himself is beyond such petty emotions as embarrassment.
That’s what happens when the MSM does nothing to challenge a lie.
Not as familiar with the Koch brothers’ situation, but . . .
In 2012, when Mitt Romney disclosed (how many?) years’ worth of 1040s, did anyone, *anyone*, ever get back to Harry Reid for his reaction? (It’s not like he’s terribly hard to find, if anyone cared.)
Beyond despicable.
Those Koch boys get to live rent free in the minds of millions of the clueless left. BTW, Charles Koch has a piece in the WSJ worth reading.
Democrats have discovered that their money pleas are much more successful when the email or letter includes accusations about the Koch brothers, no matter how off-the-wall.
Leftists are real suckers when it comes to any lies fed them about the Kochs.
I think you know where I’m headed with this….
The MSM isn’t there to challenge lies. It’s there, and IT ALWAYS WAS, to elevate the Press Class to a new aristocracy.
Parker, the rent space of murderers, criminals, rapists, and child molestors on the Left isn’t particularly worth living in for free. They have to pay a stipend for that kind of over time and risk work.
Someday Harry Reid is going to be exposed for the despicable person he is. People who are as nasty and petty and dishonest as Reid, are usually guilty of the very things they accuse others.
Reid will have a normal end just like Ted Kennedy and Robert KKK Byrd.
The power of evil ensures temporal luxury and does not allow certain truths to out. Meanwhile, Reagan gets amnesia functionality until death and Breitbart gets capped out via supposed heart failure on a run.
Sounds normal to me.
His flaccid face, simpering murmur and conscienceless sub-moral commissar manner announce it. Despite the fact that he was obviously whelped here, he is not fit to be counted as a fellow American by anyone to whom the term “American” means anything positive at all.
