It sometimes seems that Harry Reid’s mouth runs far ahead of his brain:
“There are more jobs to be created in the green field than in the old standard fields,” said Reid, adding that the coal industry passes out fliers wherever he goes pointing out the senator’s opposition to coal and accusing him of wanting to raise utility rates. “But actually, it’s just the opposite.” He accused the coal industry of using “the old Hitler lie – when you say things long enough people start believing them.”
The U.S. gets more than 50 percent of its electricity from coal. More than 100,000 Americans make a living mining the stuff. In what way are they like Hitler? And on a related note, why do Democrats even bother to claim that they oppose the divisiveness of American politics when they paint political adversaries in this way. Has Harry Reid ever compared al Qaeda to Hitler?
