"Isn't It Time To Euthanize Reid's Wife?"
Edited on Mon Mar-15-10 12:39 PM by sufrommich
The sick mind of Dan Riehl


Ever since Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, the conservative movement has been having seismic convulsions over it. The bile, rage and disgusting behavior have exponentially increased and is still ongoing as the media captures it for the nation to see.

Dan Riehl's latest post about Harry's Reid's family tragedy is yet another example of that lunacy, but just another version of the same song. This one is particularly nauseating.

As you may know, Senator Harry Reid's 69 year old wife and 48 year old daughter were involved in a bad car accident Friday. Normal, decent Americans would ignore what political party they were in and hope that their suffering is as short lived as possible. To Dan Riehl, that expression takes on a sick new meaning:

Isn't It Time To Euthanize Reid's Wife?

I'm not sure I quite understand this, given that cost is so important as a burden to taxpayers when it comes to health care. If Democrats want so badly to abort babies because of it, why are we bothering with someone who has a broken neck and back at 69? It sounds to me like she's pretty well used up and has probably been living off the taxpayers for plenty of years to begin with. Aren't we at least going to get a vote on it?

Sen. Reid's daughter Lana Reid Barringer, 48, who was driving the mini-van, and his wife, Landra G. Reid, 69, a passenger, were both injured. Landra suffered a broken back and a broken neck in the crash; Barringer suffered minor injuries, Sen. Reid's office said Thursday.

I realize her crook of a husband and his pals in Congress have excluded themselves from the mess they're going to compel everyone else to join, but we're still paying the bills, are we not? I don't see that she's worth it at this point, frankly. I can't recall her ever doing anything for me. Come on, Harry - do your civic duty. The nation's broke and counting on you guy. Pull the plug and get back to work. And don't bill us for a full day today, either. This is no time to be sloughing off. Air freight her home, you can bury her during recess on your own time and dime. Or are you going to bill us for that, too?

Reid has stayed at his wife’s bedside throughout the day Friday and returned to the Capitol in the late afternoon.

I guess it doesn't matter to Riehl that Reid is a Mormon and is strictly pro-life. But let's forget about Harry's religious beliefs. Riehl demonstrates the insanity that epitomizes the conservative movement.

1. would you please change the subject heading? It's offensive even if what's inside explains it

2. No, I won't. I think it's a pretty good account of what the right
wing in this country get away with.With hardly anyone batting an eye. Could you imagine a liberal saying something like this?

Otherwise it is you making the statement.

11. I see you changed it, despite your 'ffs'.

Hey, what can I say? The other day, someone started a thread surmising (with glee) what would happen if Dennis Kucinich had a terminal illness. Nothing, but nothing suprises me around here anymore.

14. The ffs wasn't for the edit for quotations remark, it was
for the "pizza" remark.

15. I realize it was intended for the pizza remark.
Like I said, when I saw the heading, I was expecting another thread like the DK thread from the other day. Once I read the body of the post, I saw I was mistaken. I was merely replying to someone who had made a similar mistake.

No offense intended toward you at all.:)

7. They are vile
And of course there is no such proposal, to do any such thing.

Also hypocritical, as they are the ones who would judge who should live and die if they could. So many of them are in favor of the death penalty and don't care if it is applied negligently.

10. And see the difference in the character between Democrats
and the reprehensible republicans. When rush and "give em torture" cheney were ill, Democrats said al thought they did not like either they wished that both had a speedy recovery.

Just goes to show republicans steal the word "Christian" and TRY to make it theirs. While Democrats don't have to because they are Christians.

13. Dan Riehl seems a likely net drain on society
I wonder if he would apply his own standards to himself? Or is he exempting himself because his odious suggestion is meant as some sort of sick joke, intended to prove . . . well, something, I'm sure. Humor is such a tricky tool; best to leave it to folks who know how to use it, Mr. Riehl.
