In 2008, Senator Harry Reid wrote a book titled "The Good Fight." In it, he questionably and seemingly vindictively accused a former 10 term Nevada Congressman, Walter Baring, as having said on the day of President Kennedy's assassination, "it's a good thing he was killed." He also portrayed Baring as being a routine drinker on the job, probably to make his bizare accusation more plausible. A possible motive for Reid smearing Congressman Baring's character, 33 years after his death, is that Baring (a conservative Democrat) endorsed Reid's Republican opponent, Paul Laxalt, in the 1974 Nevada senatorial race, which lead to Reid losing by 611 votes, following a recount. Had Reid won, he would have enjoyed an additional six years of senatorial seniority. The family of Congressman Baring have come forward stating there's no way he, (Congressman Baring), would have ever made such a horrendous remark. --Washington Redskins fan (talk) 05:02, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
