Why, no, it's a group of private citizens, Pabster.
The difference here is that the Congress was driven to action based on public outcry. Reid took his orders from MoveOn and even members of the TV based press called him out on it.. showing that he was clearly taking the speech deemed "offensive" out of context.
The original speech Reid complained about what "phony soldiers" in the same show as talk about good old phony Jesse - former hero of the left and yet another liar ....
To support Congressmen condemning any individual for expressing his view is amazing... MoveOn is a political action group, Rush is a talk show host who does wonders in lambasting both the Left and Right. Hell this whole crap story actually drove me to listen to a podcast of him (he isn't on my list of people I listen too - Clarke Howard is on the same time and I like Clarke). I didn't find anything of like that Media Matters (aka Hillary's PAC) claimed.
Face it, Reid was marching to the tune of redirecting the controversy of a truly offensive printed ad taken out by a political fringe group who got a discount from the so called unbiased press (a discount only revoked once it became public). Worse, we have the DO-NOTHING DEMOCRAT Congress wasting two days decrying the Patriotism of a fellow American....
If they would bother to govern instead of investigate and attack they might earn some points. I guess there weren't any religious radicals to burn out of house and home currently for them to go after
