Nevada ad uses West Virginia hillbilly stereotype in Nevada race
A Nevada Republican TV ad features a red-bearded hillbilly in a tin shack to attack Sen. Harry Reid in the race with Rep. John Ensign. It claims Nevada pays 2 billion dollars more in federal taxes each year than it gets back and alleges Reid sent Nevada taxes to states like West Virginia. The finish shows the phrase Thank you from West Virginia and dollar bills tossed in the air.
