The Senate's top Democrat criticized a pair of billionaire brothers in
unusually harsh terms Wednesday, accusing the conservative duo of being
"un-American," spreading lies about President Barack Obama's health care
overhaul and lacking a conscience.

In a pair of appearances on the Senate floor, Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev., became the latest Democrat this election year to
denunciate Charles and David Koch — pronounced "Coke."
The brothers' representatives said Reid's attack was "disgraceful" and
accused him of attacking people hurt by the 2010 health care law.
Reid's focus was on television ads that are being used against
Democratic congressional candidates, commercials that he said
misleadingly criticize the health care law.
