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.

Wow, Reid is even more of a coward than I thought!
According to comments at the pictures, he "pushed the first lady out of the way".
I'm going to guess that you are right -- the first one stepped on his foot as she was going going past him to sit down. Accidental? I don't know. But, he should have stood up to let her pass.
However, it's clear that the two women escalated it into an argument. Without a video, it's difficult to determine the exact sequence of events, but I think someone posted earlier that he tried to stand up and got pushed back down. Frankly, I don't think that justifies him swinging back, but that's just my opinion.
I also read in the comments that the man was ultimately arrested. The photos should be very useful for his defense.
No that was Al Gore,his daddy sang him to sleep with it.
What color were their shirts?
What is the color of undeserved pride?
That's how I read it too.
More of his trademark arrogance and amazing hubris on display.
I'm sure he's insulted that anyone would DARE to challenge his right to rule.
Brown?
Reid’s a bug, just like all the other Rats. Without the daily magnifying glass of the MSM on them, people would realize these digusting creatures are simply bugs, and step on them.
The MSM is the most profound of all enemies against America. You would have to look even past lawyers, and all the way down to public school administrators to find people more evil - and even then, it would be a toss-up.
