MediaMatters Reports: Conservatives express outrage over Reid slavery remarks — yet routinely claim progressives enslaving America — Conservative media figures have attacked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) remarks linking slavery to Republican opposition to health care reform legislation, but have routinely attacked progressives and the Obama administration for creating “slavery” and enslaving the public.

Politico: Speaking on the floor of the Senate, Reid blasted GOP leaders who have urged Democrats opt for a slower, incremental approach to reform instead of the mega-bill the majority hopes to push through the Senate by Christmas

Reid started by mimicking Republicans whom he claims have said:”‘Slow down, stop everything, let’s start over.”

“You think you’ve heard these same excuses before? You’re right,” he continued. “In this country…there were those who dug in their heels and said, ‘Slow down, it’s too early. Let’s wait. Things aren’t bad enough’” – about slavery.

When women wanted to vote, he went on, opponents said,” ‘Slow down, there will be a better day to do that — the day isn’t quite right.’”

He finished with:“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.” [ READ MORE ] [ FEAR-MONGERING DICK MORRIS: MAMMOGRAM DECISION TO KILL 11,500 WOMEN ]
