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.

However, if the person I was supposed to debate didn’t show up in person, I wouldn’t take the stage. I would leave.
Reid will have to steal the election to win it.
“What the ...? The guy wants their votes but can’t even be bothered to show up?”
Sure. Voters are only little people that don’t know what’s good for them anyway. Besides, with voter fraud as a fallback measure, why bother?
so Reid IS A COWARD TOO??????
who would have thought.
Wasn’t that Hillary’s favorite song?
What a coward.
LOL. They probably have matching bowling shirts too.
Sharron made one mistake.
She should have addressed the ‘live’ audience first.
That way, if they got unruly, nobody would have heard Reid.
He was a no show anyway, and didn’t deserve to be heard.
We must not comply with this. Sneak a small one in and apologize later - after you have secured and posted the tape on the Internet. Our nation is being attacked and we CANNOT allow the MSM to be the archivist of this moment in history.
“Since they didn’t clarify who threw the punch, you can rest assured it was a Reid supporter.”
You think? Nah, never happen./sssssssssssss
It’s pretty obvious who started it when you scroll through the pictures at your link. The butch Reid supporter started it.
SEIU? Or ACORN? Take your pick.
Campaign by remote---how pathetic is THAT?
Rick Santelli may be the grandfather of the TEA Party but Youtube was the incubator. See the cowards in congress get lambasted every other day was the spark that ignited the TEA party into the national conscious.
Camera phone video combined with Youtube is the end of politics as we know it.
The women seem to be heated up in those pictures....
Harry Reid is totally pathetic.
Thanks for the link. I see a girl getting in a guy’s face and the guy belted her? Right?
Bolshevik tactics. Employed largely because Reid himself was not going to be there and thus gets all the plausible deniability while keeping a grip on a claim to “gravitas.”
I am waiting for Aunt Ester from Sanford and Sons to show up soon swinging her purse.
Union Thugs LOL make sure to send the ones that can fight, these loud mouthed punching bags are no fun.
