Reid spokesman won’t deny pederast accusations

August 4, 2012 by B. Daniel Blatt

Is refusal to answer a question about allegations against you (or the individual you represent) an admission of guilt?  If so, then, there may well be more to the allegations of Harry Reid’s pederasty.  Note, the conditional here.  We still don’t know that it’s true.  We’re far from certain about this.  But now the Senate Democratic Leader’s office won’t address the allegations.  How does that look?

“As you know by now,” writes Drew M. at Ace of Spades, “when baseless but serious charges are laid against a powerful political figure, it is the responsibility of the maligned individual to prove their innocence.”  And when that blogger “requested comment from Harry Reid’s office on the swirling charges that someone said they heard from someone that Harry Reid is pederast,” he received this terse response which he characterizes as “chilling”:

Cute

Drew asks us to “note the non-denial. Based on the rumors we’ve all heard, we can only conclude that at best questions of Reid’s abuse remains an open question.”

    To me this is a conundrum. Reid made baseless accusations against Mitt Romney and the headlines have been saying for days that Romney is demanding an apology. In my mind it’s almost as if “he doth protest too much.”

    I don’t think silence is necessarily an admission of guilt; rather, it is showing that such a comment isn’t even worth a second thought, much less a protestation.

    That all said, your post makes for interesting observation, and certainly Reid had better be careful what he spouts out lest it be turned back on him.

    I am glad I am on the right where our shenanigans are cheeky and fun, and not on the left, where shenanigans are tragic and cruel.

    I suppose the back story on this is that Harry Reid has ferreted out information through illegal activities at the IRS that Romney’s taxes “zeroed” out for the last ten years and it can be said that he “paid no taxes” in the sense that it can be said that Warren Buffet’s secretary pays more taxes than does Buffet.

    There is undoubtedly a strategy to force Romney into having to take on the burden of being in the “one per cent” and defend himself from the pitch forks and torches crowd who want to pry his greedy pockets open.

    The slime squad can get whatever it wants from the executive branch since it is in the hands of the “in” party. Reid can not reveal his source any more than Nixon could have revealed the White House Plumbers Unit.

    But, this is a game of political chicken and the Democrats and their paid lapdog media will push the innuendo as second best to succeeding in having Romney release his taxes returns.

    There are a multitude of laws that supposedly keep government records sacrosanct, but, then, the parliament of whores who control the watchers can do tricks wherever they wish.

    I swear, I’m going to pistol whip the next guy who says “shenanigans”.
