email from Harry Reid "buy dictionaries for tea partiers"
LOL

Dear

This weekend Sarah Palin and the Tea Party came to Searchlight and held a rally. You might have seen it on the news.

I wasn't there, but I'm told there were speeches, some signage featuring questionable assertions, and a lot of calling Democrats "socialists." I guess it's better not to let the facts get in the way of a good rally sign.

I double checked the definition of 'socialism,' and it's defined as a political philosophy that advocates for government ownership of private industry. Absolutely needless to say, not a view I agree with in the least.

My first thought was that we could hold a fundraising drive to buy dictionaries for all these folks and mail them out lickity split. But my campaign manager rightly pointed out that with the first quarter coming to an end, we should raise money for the campaign in dictionary-sized increments instead.

4. You can give a bagger a dictionary
but you can't make them read. If limpalinbeck say it's "socialism" then that's all they need to know:silly:
