Harry Reid's office blasts veteran over Bolton
Democrat's e-mail advises citizen to 'get off your extreme partisan puppetry'

Senate Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid is being asked to apologize after his chief of staff used an e-mail to scold an Air Force veteran who wrote to Reid to express support for John Bolton's nomination as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

The activist organization Move America Forward is demanding the apology after Susan McCue told one of the organization's members, Cory Estes of Bucyrus, Ohio, ''to get off your extreme partisan puppetry and think this through.''

The tongue-lashing didn't stop there. Reid's chief of staff also told Estes, who says he's retired after serving in the Air Force for 20 years, to ''stop and think about what you as an individual can proactively do to protect this great nation.''

She also accused Estes of ''name-calling at the behest of the rich Republican propaganda machinery. ...''

Estes forwarded his e-mail exchange with McCue to the organization, explaining he ''didn't appreciate being treated so rudely'' by Sen. Reid's office.

Estes e-mailed Reid's office after Move America Forward asked members to contact the Senate minority leader in support of Bolton's nomination. Members also were instructed to ask Reid not to engineer a Democrat-led smear campaign against Bolton during his confirmation hearings.

According to the April 10 edition of Time magazine, Reid is considering an effort to block Bolton's nomination through filibustering.

''Senator Reid owes this 20-year veteran of our Armed Services a swift and sincere apology. We also call upon Minority Leader Reid to take disciplinary action against his chief of staff to set an example that this kind of hostile and unprofessional conduct against private citizens will not be tolerated,'' said Melanie Morgan, co-chair of Move America Forward.

''Our elected officials and their staffs are employed by the citizens of this nation who pay their salary. Senator Harry Reid is supposed to answer to and serve the public, but his office apparently thinks it works the other way around. This has the chilling effect of telling the public to shut up and keep their views to themselves,'' said Morgan.

Let's not forget they said

"But maybe you should stop and think about what you as an individual can proactively do to protect this great nation."

to someone bitching about their roadblocking the AMBASSADOR TO THE UN.

Bush is damned if he does appoint a UN ambassador, damned if he doesn't.

My e-mail to her ''stop and think about what you as an individual can proactively do to protect this great nation.''
I have and my solution is to work proactively to make sure the jerk you work for is not re-elected . Oh and by the way moron we are a Participatory Republic not a Democracy. You would think you would know that. But since most people in the Democrat party get their jobs for partisan reasons a lot, like you, are unqualified for their positions. A proud tradition since Tammany Hall.
Mark my words ried is history.

This is only another view of the pimps of the election industry who survive by nursing at the public cash register!

The Democraps live by the politics of FEAR, DIVISION, and HATRED!

The essence of the Congress will only change when the voters FLUSH this excrement at the ballot box.

"...get off your.......puppetry"....What? Duh. Nice diction, McCue. Just WTF does it say?

Prithee, Susan, by what means does one "get off one's puppetry"? You are, without a doubt, a second-rate chief of staff.

Even through your literary incoherence you managed to express anger, rudeness, and patronization. Did you think you were posting in some argumentative forum thread?

You are a classless, stupid, bitch. Prolly why Reid hired you.

[Peach]

So someone in the military isn't doing enough for his country? Is that Reid's offices position?

Well, that would make an interesting commercial in '06, don't you think?

[Txsleuth]

Well, it has been 24 hours of broadcast day and I haven't heard ONE talk show host on the radio or TV bring up this subject, have you?

[mystery-ak]

Carol Mosely(Fraud)'s staff used to hang up on me, I demand an apology too!...

[albertp]

This has the chilling effect of telling the public to shut up and keep their views to themselves

Recall also that certain members of the 911 Commission expressed the same attitude...

Susan,

Sounds to me as though you’ve written an appropriate prescription for yourself.
Don’t choke on it.
“get off your extreme partisan puppetry and think this through.''
''stop and think about what you as an individual can proactively do to protect this great nation”
As for me I’m going to continue financing candidates like John Thune, to unseat the pro-U.N., anti-U.S. “leaders” in your party.
What are you going to do with all of your free time after Harry fires you?
Sincerely,

[jackbill]

Reid is a POS. What do you expect?

A POS hires another POS.

[REDWOOD99]

The most important fact is being overlooked here... Melanie Morgan is HOT!!

[Impeach98]

Nope, sure haven't :\

[Ridesolo]

As you would expect, I have not been contacted with an apology as of this date. (Not that I expected to be.... certainly wasn't holding my breath.)
