Conservatives Are Furious With Harry Reid For Warring With The Kochs

Harry Reid's war on the Koch brothers -- the wealthy oil tycoons who are spending millions to defeat Democrats in the 2014 mid-terms -- has sparked an intense backlash from Republicans and prominent conservatives.

The feud has grown acrimonious and personal over the last few weeks, with figures on the right leaping to the defense of the Kochs and even suggesting that the Democratic Senate majority leader is mentally unstable.

"There's something going on with Harry Reid's mental state and we need to really be concerned about it," Sharron Angle, the GOP nominee who lost to Reid in the 2010 Nevada Senate race, said April 3 on her radio show. "[T]hat's the onset of something more serious, and as you say, there's something mentally going on here, when you can't remember."

"Poor Harry Reid," Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate, said on Fox News. "I mean, either he's off his meds -- and he clearly needs some assistance immediately, he needs to be rushed to an emergency room -- or the man is just brazenly unable to tell the truth."

Scar tried to laugh it off with Shumer saying do you really think this is a good strategy and do you really think people know who they are? Yes, and if they don't know they will. They try to pretend as though there is only one strategy there is so much out there the Dems could talk about something different every hr on the hr...
