Las Vegas, NV – Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement today on racist comments by Cliven Bundy reported by the New York Times.
“I used to live in North Las Vegas and it is home to some of the hardest-working people I have ever met – men and women who embody the American dream by working hard every day to build a better life for themselves and their families. By contrast, Cliven Bundy has spent decades profiting off government land while refusing to pay the same fair use fees as his fellow ranchers. Today, Bundy revealed himself to be a hateful racist. But by denigrating people who work hard and play by the rules while he mooches off public land he also revealed himself to be a hypocrite.
“To advance his extreme, hateful views, Bundy has endangered the lives of innocent women and children. This is not a game. It is the height of irresponsibility for any individual or entity in a position of power or influence to glorify or romanticize such a dangerous individual, and anyone who has done so should come to their senses and immediately condemn Bundy. For their part, national Republican leaders could help show a united front against this kind of hateful, dangerous extremism by publicly condemning Bundy.
“The bottom line is that elected officials and those in positions of power or influence have a responsibility to unite behind the basic principle that we are a country of laws, and that whatever our differences, it is unacceptable for individuals to use violence or the threat of violence to advance their radical views.”
Yo’ Harry... You are you calling dangerously extreme you old cracker...

Who are you...
Damn iPad...
That’s funny coming from Reid when he has said for weeks now that any supporters of Bundy are “Domestic Terrorists” and Donna Brazile compared Bundy to Timothy McVeigh
Ha! Now we know why Harry took the risk with the domestic terrorist rant, He knew this was coming out, it all makes perfect sense.........
Hey Harry, Hyperbole much?
Yeah, we’re a country laws, and we should enforce them. Unless of course, if it’s immigration laws or the healthcare law or... Right Harry, aka the rat?
harry hates the hardest-working people I have ever met – men and women who embody the American dream by working hard every day to build a better life for themselves and their families,and just want to visit the sites in Washington D.C.
That NYT article was just a set up. This is so contrived. Bundy’s being alinsky’d.
How about uniting to indict Harry for crimes agains’t the country.
Harry Reid is a domestic dumb @$$...plain and simple.
I love that. It would make a great poster.
Harry domestic dumbass
I call for Senate hearings where we put all of Reid’s corrupt croneys under
oath, and expose Reid and his families corruption.
Actually he did speak the truth but the far left have screwed his words up in such a way that he’s despised. Best for him is to be quiet in this very tense situation. He’s just playing into Reid’s hands.
Hey Harry looked at your own ‘wascist’ statements. What a clown.
It must be the cities.
That's only his latest, Reid has a history of crooked land deals that he and his family profit handsomely from.
Sad. He needs to retire on his own.
Good thing there are no “leaders” in DC to answer the call.....
This country has gone freakin stupid.
Bundy’s got a right to say whatever he pleases...it’s called freedom.
You may be offended, you may not like it, but he’z got a damn right to speak freely. If not, this American experiment is dead.
