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.

Sounds like the AP is trying to blame the incident on an Angle supporter. go figure...(eye roll)
Reid reminds me of a character from movies done in the 30’s -40’s. He’s just a caricature of an actual person.
His personality is so disagreeable and yet bland at the same time...
Yep..have you seen the expose that Fox News did on the Chrysler union workers drinking and smoking pot on their breaks? It is shocking.
Good description...lol.

Sharron Angle interrupted on several occasions during her segment of the US Senate Candidate Forum at Faith Lutheran High School on September 23, 2010.
What the ...? The guy wants their votes but can't even be bothered to show up? Then his campaign plants disruptors in the crowd?
Reid’s thugs.
Voters in Las Vegas will know exactly who caused the fight and that’s what important.
He would fit right in as one of Dick Tracy’s villains.
“venue of Faith Lutheran high school in Summerlin”
Ping
funny the left is saying the girls were Reid supporters, and the right is saying the the girls are Angle supporters...
Remember the song, “Look for the Union Label....”
the noospaper account is biased against angle.
look, after voting for obama,
if nevadans vote for reid,
then they deserve no jobs.
Unbelievable..Reid’s goons were laughing and cat calling when Angle told the story of her son’s troubles in first grade. I guess they think it’s funny. Pathetic. Thanks for the link.
Corruptocrats at work. Thank you, Democrats. More evidence that if Nevadans want decent representation, they should vote for Angle.
The Democrats are bringing the leftist thuggery we’ve seen all too often into the electoral process.
Sharron has a lot of guts to put up with that BS, meanwhile hapless Harry sends a video tape.
One thing is clear though...it was the Reid supporters who were being rude and obnoxious throughout the entire event.
Awwww. How cute.
The two, “Scuffling,” wore matching shirts.
Dittos! Reid proves once again that he is a coward and cares more about staying in the beltway cocktail circuit, than he does about representing the people of Nevada.
So in other words, Dingy’s supporters started the fight...
