An excerpt from the local WTNV coverage of Al Gore’s fundraising trip to Nevada for Harry Reid:

Facing stiff competition in the upcoming November elections, Democratic elected officials like Congresswoman Dina Titus, took to the stage to thank supporters for their loyalty. Senator Reid didn’t say much about the Tea Party Express bus tour that kicked off earlier this morning in his hometown of Searchlight. But Vice President Gore and Congresswoman Titus had sharp criticisms for the grass roots organization.
“Anger is not a platform and divisiveness is not a strategy. We need ideas to improve people’s lives,” said Gore.
“I had tea baggers, Sarah Palin, and Ann Coulter in my district today, so it feels good to be with friends,” said Titus.

This is the civility that Dems want in the 2010 debate?
