Does this mean Obama is a rapist and pedophile until you can show me PROOF he isn't? http://washingtonexaminer.com/reid-...-until-he-proves-hes-innocent/article/2503802 Reid: Romney is guilty of tax evasion until he proves heâs innocent Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said that the burden of proof is on Mitt Romney to prove that he hasnât evaded paying his taxes, despite the legal principle that a person accused of a crime is âinnocent until proven guilty.â Reid accused Romney of what amounts to tax fraud, but he doesnât think he to provide evidence for the charge. âI donât think the burden should be on me,â Reid told reporters on a conference call, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal. âThe burden should be on him. Heâs the one Iâve alleged has not paid any taxes. Why didnât he release his tax returns?â The Nevada Democrat earned a law degree at George Washington University in 1964 â not so long ago that he should have forgotten that due process protections in the American legal system require the accuser to prove that the accused is guilty for a case to stand. Of course, Reid isnât filing a formal charge, so there is no impediment to him making such accusations. âWhat if he has paid no taxes, like I am saying he hasnât,â Reid told reporters, before mentioning Romneyâs offshore bank accounts. âI mean, gee whiz, rather than ask me why I should do this, that is a story you should be writing.â Reid claimed to have âseveralâ sources who told him that Romney had avoided paying taxes for at least a decade. He wouldnât name any of those sources. This Fucking scumbag will say and do ANYTHING to get that other fucker re-elected.

Suddenly Harry Reid cares about people paying taxes? He didn't seem very concerned about confirming a Treasury Secretary who had unpaid taxes.
