Harry Reid says: “I believe in ensuring all facts come to light.”
However, two years after $1.1 million was paid directly to Reid for the sale of land which he no longer personally owned, he announced he was amending his ethics reports to Congress… to more fully account for the Las Vegas land deal, which was reported last week in a story by the AP. [After initially refusing to discuss the matter - Reid reportedly hung up on the AP reporter when asked about it - he has since offered to amend his financial disclosures link]
Reid labeled the AP story as the “latest attempt” by Republicans to affect the election. AP reported last week that it learned of the land deal from a former Reid adviser who had concerns about the way the deal was reported to Congress. Link
Interestingly enough, according to a report from Nathan Burchfiel, “Since the story broke, the Washington Post has mentioned it three times: once in story about the scandal on Oct. 12 and in an unrelated article and an editorial on Oct. 13. The New York Times has mentioned the scandal once in an article on Oct. 12.
During the same time period, the papers have mentioned Foley 37 and 28 times, respectively.

The left really has a way of phrasing things, don't they? Up is down and telling the truth is a smear.
he gotta go.
Reid is a poster boy for that Democrat "culture of corruption".
You're a corrupt, hypocritical POS Dim who should resign immediately.
Corrupt Republicans = Apologize, resign, face the music
Corrupt Democrats = Lie, deny, obfuscate, blame Republicans, remain in office, get treated as a hero
Not "Reportedly hung up on the AP reporter", there is a tape of it, so it is fact.
Dear Mr. Reid:
This is the way it works. When you start tossing crap around you shouldnt be surprised when some gets tossed back at you.
Sir: You are a crook. I cannot rob a bank and return the money if I get caught. What makes you think that filing after you get caught is proper. It isnt.
People in glass houses shouldnt throw stones, and you sir and your democratic cronies have been caught with a pocketfull of rocks.
Isn't it interesting how all a Democrat has to do is say, "Sorry, made a mistake" and it just goes away...if it even came up in the first place. What's hilarious is how the MSM can actually deny--with a straight face no less--there is a liberal bias to their "journalism".
In the old Soviet Union that "journalism" would be referred to as "propaganda" and would have been pedalled by Prava and TASS.
thanks, heh
Yes, the Republicans held a gun to Reid's head and forced him to make millions in a shady real estate deal. Sure thing.

An interesting point a Freeper made is that since verbal contracts are considered valid in Nevada, he never transferred the property to Brown. Therefore, the scandal will go on.
Yes, that is very interesting.
Well bj can smear anyone he wants, whats wrong with us smearing one of them?
Oh yes....now how could I have forgotten....they are libs and CAN'T be smeared.....how silly of me to forget that....
I cannot believe he wasn't struck dead by lightning when he said that.
I don't know who is more ridiculous sounding, the Dem pols or the DEM cheerleaders...
On Hannity and Colmes tonight...they had a panel with Bob Beckel on it..
One of the topics was the remark that Steny Hoyer made about Michael Steele "slavishly" doing something...
First, Alan Colmes was just verklempt that anyone would make a big deal about that...even if Steele IS black.
But then....Beckel said that it IS ridiculous because "Hoyer has done more in his life for black people than Steele would ever do"....
Just think about that a second.....
