And Harry Reid cries that he is being bullied. Whats the matter Harry, you dish it out on a daily basis and when your hypocrisy is pointed out, you cry like the lady you are.
A conservative group put out a new ad on Monday that ties Democrats to billionaire former hedge fund manager Tom Steyer, casting him as the Democratic equivalent to libertarian industrialists Charles and David Koch.
“Steyer has a history of environmentally destructive business ventures,” the ad notes, highlighting Washington Free Beacon reporting on Steyer, who has pledged to raise $100 million to elect Democrats this year.
The Washington Post reported on the ad on Monday:
The ad features footage of Reid attacking the Koch brothers but suggests his criticisms more aptly describe the Steyers—Tom and Jim—whom it accuses of opposing the Keystone XL pipeline for personal gain.
“That’s why Tom Steyer and his brother Jim are spending millions to finance campaigns that support liberals who will keep Harry Reid in charge of the Senate,” the ad says.
The ad buy is relatively small — $50,000 — and will be online only, but it previews the GOP’s defense against Koch brothers attacks going forward (to the extent that Americans actually care about such things).

Harry Reid Flagrantly Violating Senate Rules With Koch Brother Attacks On Senate.gov Website…
Like Obama, Reid doesn’t think the rules apply to him.
The Senate maintains strict rules on what kind of content can be posted on Senate.gov sites–rules that the anti-Koch hit piece at least appears to violate:
The use of Senate Internet Services for personal, promotional, commercial, or partisan political/campaign purposes is prohibited.
It is the responsibility of each Senator, Committee Chairman (on behalf of the committee), Officer of the Senate, or office head to oversee the use of the Internet Services by his or her office and to ensure that the use of the services is consistent with the requirements established by this policy and applicable laws and regulations.
