Senate Majority Leader and Nevada Democrat Sen. Harry Reid compared the tea party to the violent 20th century anarchist movement during a Friday interview on KNPR.
“Who is the tea party? Well, understand, when I was in school
, I studied government, among other things, and prior to World War I and after World War I we had the anarchists,” Reid began. “Now they were violent — you know, some say that’s what started World War I, the anarchy moment — but they were violent. They did damage to property and they did physical damage to people.”

Anytime anything bad happens to government, that’s a victory to them. And that’s what’s happened. We have absolute gridlock created by a group of people who represent few Americans. But it makes it extremely difficult to get things done.”
