Incredible but true: Nevada’s Senate candidate forum ended in a loud shouting match and fist fight between supporters of Harry Reid and Sharron Angle.
The unruly affair went down at the unlikely venue of Faith Lutheran high school in Summerlin, a master-planned community just west of the Las Vegas city limits.
As the forum opened, attendees were asked not to applaud or shout out questions or comments during the event. Harry Reid answered questions via a pre-taped 30-minute interview, and then Sharron Angle answered a moderator’s questions live on stage.
A few in the 800-member audience snickered and murmured during portions of Reid’s video segment, particularly when he was talking about health care reform, and a couple of comments were uttered loud enough to be heard throughout the auditorium. For the most part, though, the crowd was respectful and fairly reserved during the Reid portion of the forum.
That changed once Angle appeared. Most of the 800-member audience jumped to their feet, half of them cheering, half loudly booing as she and the moderator took the stage. Even once all were seated and Angle began to speak, many in the crowd were quite boisterous and some became increasingly bold and uncivil as the event continued.
Angle was repeatedly shouted at as she tried to answer questions. Scornful remarks, sarcastic questions, and accusations including “Liar!” were shouted by Reid partisans. The moderator politely asked for order, twice, but it had little effect on the more raucous members of the crowd.

PING!!
Sounds like Old Harry isn’t enough of a man to appear in person.
you can expect a union goon squad at all her appearances,
it is their modus operandi!!
Union thugs = storm troopers.
Bingo. This can only help Angle.
That type of thuggery will likely backfire. Particularly since it was directed at a woman and she maintained her composure. Then again, she is a Republican, so those rules probably don’t apply. In fact, I’m sure she deserved it having the unmitigated gall to espouse an adherence to the constitution.
Since they didn’t clarify who threw the punch, you can rest assured it was a Reid supporter.
Videocameras, FRiends. REMEMBER to bring VIDEOCAMERAS!!
Make these bums famous on YouTube!
If it was a Union Goon involved I hope that comes out. Voters should remember what thug scumbags they are and Reid is 100% behind them.
They probably know already, they just don’t care.

Good for Sharron Angle. The more obnoxious Reid’s paid goons are, the better she will look to all the voters.
Isn’t she ahead by a point or two? Agreeing to let Reid appear by camera is beneath her....
Reid has got to be the most smarmy and creepy politician(other than Obama) in modern memory...lol. He just drips with smirky contempt for his opponents and/or patronizing insincerity for his supporters. I don’t understand how anyone could vote for the man. Just goes to show you that liberalism really is a mental disorder.
Just like a union meeting. Get liqured up and sound off

“Harry Reid answered questions via a pre-taped 30-minute interview, and then Sharron Angle answered a moderator’s questions live on stage.”
Alinsky spoke of this as a very effective technique. Reid is protected, can prepare, and will look studio-good. Angle can be harassed, is at the mercy of the sound enginneer and lighting setup, thugs can riot.
Note to self- if this is offered to me, send a 30 min vid of my own and don’t walk into such a meatgrinder.
