WASHINGTON -- Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday called on Republicans to disband the House committee investigating Planned Parenthood, accusing them of creating a "frenzy of hate and anger" that contributed to last week's mass shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado.

"Republicans shouldn't waste their time. I would hope that they would give up before they match the millions of dollars -- at last count more than $5 million -- they've wasted on the so-called Benghazi 'Let's get Secretary Clinton' Committee," Reid said, referring to the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Libya.

"We bring people into a frenzy of hate and anger while providing them with easy access to firearms," Reid continued. "That has proven disastrous to our country. We have a responsibility as leaders to think very hard about what we say and do in this context."

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) joined Reid in condemning the Planned Parenthood committee and urging its demise in a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).

4. They have been doing this for years, but since the bogus

video came out, they have been rabid. Also, the right wing media mouths need to STHU! Senators Reid and Boxer are to be commended for their stance. Thanks for the post, Stuart G.
