Harry Reid: Phony land swindler or (g)assbag phony senator?

Yes, Harry Reid, this is the “phony soldier” Rush Limbaugh was talking about on the radio the other day. And as it turns out, he IS a phony. This from the Seattle Times:

A Tacoma man who falsely claimed he was a decorated war hero when he took the stage at demonstrations held in opposition to the U.S.'s role in Iraq was sentenced this morning to five months in prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle.

Jesse MacBeth [aka Jesse Adam Al-Zaid], 23, was also sentenced to three months in a halfway house after his release and three years of probation.MacBeth claimed that he was an Army ranger who killed more than 200 people, many at close range, including some as they
prayed in a mosque.

He spoke at an anti-war rally in Tacoma and appeared in a 20-minute anti-war video that circulated widely on the Internet.In reality, MacBeth made it through only six weeks of Army basic training and never set foot in Iraq.Conservative bloggers exposed MacBeth in May
2006, destroying his credibility and embarrassing the Seattle company that produced the video about his exploits.

On June 7, MacBeth pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. MacBeth admitted that he filed a bogus claim for VA benefits in 2005, which included a fraudulent military-discharge form.MacBeth said on the
forms that he had been in the Army for more than three years and had achieved the rank of corporal.

He also claimed he had been awarded a Purple Heart and that he was discharged because he suffered from post-traumatic-stress disorder.MacBeth spent 44 days as a private at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2003, but was released "for issues related to entry-level
performance and conduct," according to court papers.Pepper Spray Productions in Seattle produced the video titled "Jesse MacBeth: An Iraq Veteran Speaks Out."

In the film, MacBeth told nuanced tales of brutal killings he carried out at the behest of his commanding officers.

"They would actually feel the hot muzzle of my rifle on their forehead," he reportedly said on the video, which is no longer in circulation.

I used to think the worst thing that could happen to you as a private citizen was for the IRS to come after you. That opinion changed yesterday. The worst thing that can happen to you as a private citizen is for Harry Reid to be after you.

This is what the Phony Senator said about Rush on the floor of the Senate:

“Thousands of active troops and veterans were subjected to Mr. Limbaugh’s unpatriotic and indefensible comments on your broadcast. We trust you will agree that not a single one of our sons, daughters, neighbors and friends serving overseas is a ‘phony soldier.’ We call on you to publicly repudiate these comments that call into question their service and sacrifice and to ask Mr. Limbaugh to apologize for his comments.”

So, Rush Limbaugh charges a phony soldier with being a phony soldier. Then having accomplished everything he promised to the American people, Harry Reid takes to floor of the senate to condemn Limbaugh for calling all soldiers who oppose the war phony soldiers. I’d refer to Harry Reid as a lying sack of crap but that comparison really wouldn’t be fair to sacks of crap.

There really must be someplace much worse than hell for shameless, pandering, preening slime balls like Harry Reid. I get a mental picture of him checking into hell and the devil giving him a choice. “I’d put you in a room filled with excrement, but I’d never be able to find you in there” says the devil. “So you can choose between the fiery cauldron or this room where there is a cocktail party going on.” Harry chooses the cocktail party. When he gets inside he notices everyone at the party is a Cindy Sheehan clone. All the men and women look, act, and talk just like Cindy Sheehan.

Then it gets worse all the TVs are tuned to the Fox News Channel. Then at noon Harry hears the baseline of the Pretenders song “My City was gone” bump, bump, bumba babum and screams “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Anything but the truth!!!!!!!! Send me to the cauldron!!!!” It’s Rush Limbaugh being piped in noon to three everyday.
