Ralph Reed: You're going down!
Edited on Sat Dec-17-05 03:23 PM by Ernesto
"Abramoff wrote an e-mail to Scanlon in early 2002 about Reed, which asserted, "He is a bad version of us! No more money for him."
The Bush Administration finds itself in a very odd place — under and sinking fast — and for them, the dislocation must be staggering. And while it is interesting to watch as the White House unveils its new candor campaign in trying to right itself, that effort may be the definition of 'too little, too late.' All you have to do to understand the extent of the GOP's problems is to look at what is going on with one-time Golden Boy Ralph Reed, who is on the 2006 ballot in Georgia. He is going under fast and taking other Republicans with him, in magenta-red Georgia no less.

2. Ralph Reed
is a sanctimonious, self- righteous little twit. Christian my ass. He is the poster child for everything that is wrong with fundies and the GOP.

He deserves to spend some time in prison asking for forgiveness.

3. I don't like him
He's an extremist even compared to the rest of his cronies.

Here's something that'll tell you all you need to know about the bug-eyed creep:

From his Wikipedia entry--

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_E._Reed,_Jr.

"On April 14, 1983, Reed wrote a column for The Red and Black student newspaper attacking the late Mohandas K. Gandhi of India. Entitled "Gandhi: Ninny of the 20th Century," Reed denounced the 1983 motion picture Gandhi for its favorable treatment of the life of the pacifist leader of the Indian independence movement. A graduate student complained to the editor of The Red and Black that Reed had plagiarized a Commentary article by film reviewer Richard Grenier. After an investigation, Reed was fired from the paper. Reed wrote a final column acknowledging his failure to cite sources but accusing the graduate student who complained of "the most shocking, profane form of personal attack I can imagine." (Nina J. Easton, Gang of Five: Leaders at the Center of the Conservative Crusade, page 130-31)"

He attacks Gandhi, and he didn't even have the guts to write the insane little article himself.

What an ass.

4. Just look at him.


Absolutely demonic looking. If they ever do a remake of "Omen III", they should offer him a bundle to play the grown-up Damien. Who could possibly be more believable?

He railed against gambling as a "good" Christian but then worked for the industry later.

9. satan with a choirboy face. Part of the original axis of evil. look up
"spawn of hell" in the dictionary, you'll find reed's picture. our boy ralphie is a true sociopath, and even worse, he's perfectly socialized. in other words, you won't even know you're in trouble until he slides the blade into your heart at the same time telling how much he likes and respects you. he doesn't have to have a good reason for taking your down, he'll do it just for fun, just for the practice, something to do. on top of being the sociopath you can bring home to momma, he's also heavily messianic. he'll do ANYTHING to achieve his ends. He has no guilt or conscience feedback, truly without scruples and truly believes he can do no wrong.

11. Great article. Way to go CBS
Greed gets ya every time. It'll be especially good to see Abramamoff and Reed going to jail.
