[Tea Party Hobbit]

I saw two names mentioned on another forum. One of the names originated from a YouTube comment. Whether it's true or not is anybody's guess at this point -- but there are a lot of malicious people out there who might have thought it was funny to start such a rumor about this admired conservative.

If any of the posters here had other sources for that person's death, I'd be concerned.

The second name I saw mentioned on the other site was someone's unsourced info that a political VIP had been in Reno (no mention of attendance at the Air Show). He's not my cup of tea (not intended as a pun), but is certainly a major figure who has fans here.

Harry Reid's statement did not sound like either one of these people (both definitely known to him) had been injured or died.

I'll say a prayer for all concerned and go to bed without worries about these two.

The name I had heard was the first one you mention (originated from YouTube comments). Another poster here on FR had the same name but from a different source - supposedly a source at the scene, but it was second- or third-hand info when it came to him, so there may be some possibility that it somehow originated from YouTube too and made its way to people at the scene or something.

The other poster's source makes me just a touch nervous, but I'm still pretty convinced it's almost certainly not true, as it would be almost certain to be public by now if it were true.
