Harry Reid's Un-American Charge That Romney Didn't Pay 10 Years of Taxes

As an American, each of us has 3 sacred rights when it comes to being accused of something.  First, everyone is presumed innocent until "proven" guilty.  Second, each of us has a right to "face" our accuser, and three, "hearsay" evidence is "no proof of one's guilt or innocence" unless substantiated by other facts.

But, in Harry Reid's America, those rights don't exist.  This week he "publicly" charged that Romney had paid no taxes for 10 years; citing an anonymous source.  Further, he went on to say that Romney needs to prove otherwise.  In doing so, he violated all three of those basic rights.

The burden of proof is on Harry; not Romney. Romney has the right to know who told Harry that he didn't pay taxes; because, not to do so violates the hearsay rule of law and Romney's right to face his accuser.  Simply, in violating Romney's rights, Reid is committing both slander and defamation of character.  Until Reid can prove his claims, Reid can only be viewed as a liar.
