By now, everyone is aware that Mr. Reid has taken a page out of the GOP playbook by issuing a baseless, hearsay accusation that Mr. Romney "may not" have paid taxes.
As baseless accusations go, it is right on par with the Swiftboaters and the birthers. A devastating accusation is leveled without a shred of supporting evidence. Mr. Reid should be ashamed.
Ashamed or not, he should never issue an apology. Reasons after the fold.
As we all know, ANY perceived slight of a GOP candidate is met with breathless pearl clutching on FOX and Limbaugh. How COULD these people be so uncivil! Bring me my fainting couch.
And here is the beauty. Okay, FOX, run with it. Tell the world what a despicable person Mr. Reid is to have made such an accusation!
What was that accusation you ask? Well, it was mumblemumbletaxes.
Excuse me, what did Mr. Reid accuse Mitt of? Mumblemumbletaxes.
That's right, in a stroke of 11th Dimension chess, Mr. Reid issues a morally bankrupt accusation that even to me seems a little low. And here is the beauty. I can complain about his questionable tactics, but the right-whiners cannot, because you can't complain about the accusation WITHOUT REPEATING IT.
Harry Reid dared FOX News to give his baseless accusation the same legs they gave the birthers. I smell FOX heads exploding.
