TEA PARTY EXPRESS CONDEMNS HARRY REID’S ATTACK ON LAS VEGAS NEWSPAPER

Reid Expresses Hope for Job Losses of Hundreds at Las Vegas Paper

(From the road between Ely, NV and Las Vegas, NV) — As the Tea Party Express (website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org) crosses through Nevada (holding 5 tea party rallies in the state), the Las Vegas Review Journal newspaper is reporting that Senator Harry Reid launched a broadside against the newspaper, telling advertising director Bob Brown: “I hope you go out of business.”

At a time when Nevada is suffering an unemployment rate of over 12%, Harry Reid has revealed he hopes hundreds more will become unemployed at the Las Vegas newspaper.

Reid’s verbal attack against Nevada’s largest newspaper comes at the same time he has criticized tea party supporters, deriding them as “evil-mongers.”

Tea Party Express Vice Chairman, Mark Williams, issued the following statement about Reid’s recent verbal outbursts:

“Harry Reid seems to have a big problem with people exercising their free speech rights, and his arrogance towards others is catching up with him.

“His anger towards Americans engaged in the tea party movement is unforgivable. These are his constituents who he is charged to serve and represent.

“Now Sen. Reid is angry at the press for reporting on his failings as a Senator and his plunging poll numbers, but Reid has no one to blame but himself.

“If Harry Reid wants to know who is to blame for his failures as a Senator he needs only look into a mirror. Sen. Reid owes the citizens he serves and derides as ‘evil mongers’ an apology, just as he owes an apology to the press for his contentious demeanor towards them as well.

“But Harry Reid won’t apologize – at least not with any sincerity. If Harry Reid had his way we would all be silenced; forbidden from criticizing him or commenting on his shortcomings as a U.S. Senator.

“We have a message for Harry Reid: your arrogance, your condescension and your failures as a Senator are emblematic of the reasons we launched the “Tea Party Express” and if politicians like Reid don’t change their ways, then they shouldn’t be surprised when they receive a ‘pink slip’ from the voters come November 2010.
