Harry Reid: Mentally Unfit To Be Senator

Once again, Crybaby Harry Reid has embarrassed Nevada again with a senile rant about Sen. Pat McCarren today.
From the LVRJ: At a ceremony Friday morning at McCarran International's Terminal 3, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., cast his lot with those who would like to remove the name of former U.S. Sen. Pat McCarran from the airport.
Reid acknowledged that he did not have a role in the decision - that role rests with the Clark County Commission because the county owns owns and operates the airport. Nevertheless, Reid made his feelings clear in response to a question.
"Pat McCarran was one of the most anti-Semitic ... one of the most anti-black, one of the most prejudiced people ever to serve in the Senate," Reid said. "It's not a decision I am going to make, but you asked me to give you my opinion. I don't think his name should be on anything."  http://www.lvrj.com/business/reid-change-name-of-mccarran-international-airport-167363525.html
Except, McCarren was anti-Semitic.  From Online Nevada: When Nevada-born Jew Samuel Platt was running for the U.S. Senate in 1940, there was idle speculation within Senator Patrick McCarran's camp that Platt's ethnicity could prove to be a negative factor among voters. In view of the many other Jews elected to public office in the twentieth century, Platt's several losses at the national level were largely the result of his go-it-alone Republican politics. As for McCarran's alleged anti-Semitism, he tended to identify Jews as Communists. A recent biographer has characterized his views as "casual" and typical of the times. Several Nevada Jews were close to McCarran. Mort Saiger, McCarran's Las Vegas chauffer, considered him a friend. Eddie Ginsberg of Reno's Home Furniture store was an honorary pall bearer at McCarran's funeral, for which he was reproached by the local B'nai B'rith lodge and the Anti-Defamation League. McCarran's anti-Jewish bias may have been one borne of his religious upbringing and not directed to Jews he actually knew.  http://www.onlinenevada.org/anti_semitism_in_nevada
As far as being anti-black?  Where, Harry, is the evidence that McCarren was anti-black?  And the most anti-black to serve in the Senate?  Really, senile Harry, more anti-black and anti-Semitic than KKK member, Robert Byrd?  How about Jesse Helms, who the left hates.
I really think Harry Reid has lost it mentally.  He is a disgrace to Nevada and now he is making things up while trashing people's reputations. 
Harry Reid needs to go.  Somebody from the Democratic Party needs to go to Reid and tell him to resign because he is not mentally fit to serve as Senator.  Right now, Reid is a danger to people's reputations and to the livelihoods of Nevadans.
