Harry Reid Lashes Into Koch Brothers For New Ad That Is A Blatant Lie (VIDEO)



America is a free country. Free speech ensures that we can say almost anything without consequence. As a society we have decided on exceptions to free speech. You cannot yell ‘fire’ in a theatre when there is no fire. You cannot yell ‘bomb’ at an airport when there is no bomb. Why, because at that point your free speech infringes on the safety of your fellow citizens.

So far the Koch Brothers have been getting away with figuratively yelling ‘bomb’ in a crowded airport and yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater absent both. To the Koch Brothers, Americas uninsured and poor make up the crowded arena. A high priced ineffective Obamacare is the negative event to run from.
