Was Harry Reid beat up by mobsters? Is that the real reason for his eye injury that he blamed on exercise equipment? Harry Reid being beaten up by mobsters on New Years Day is just the latest rumor as to what really happened to Dingy Harry Reid. Supposedly, according to the rumor, Reid was unable to deliver a deal that the mobsters demanded. In addition to failing the get the deal for the mobs, rumors say Reid made a comment that the mobsters considered disrespectful, and one of them beat him up.

Hold on. Wasn’t Reid put out front as a former prize fighter? If so I wonder what the other guys/girls looked like. I am older than Reid and was into amateur boxing as a teenager. I have followed the boxing info for a long time but never heard of Harry Reid. I realize there are many persons in the boxing annals but I never heard of Harry Reid. I think the guy got his paper wings clipped for some reason.

Remember his black eye and dislocated shoulder back in 2011? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/harry-reid-shows-off-his-shiner/2011/05/10/AFgQZNkG_blog.html

He also claimed he did that "while running." I think ole Harry needs to give up the exercising. Seems to be dangerous to his health.

He might have tried to cheat a male hooker.

Ah, I found the Freeper thread from 2011 here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2722911/posts

That was the incident where he was out running, leaned against a car that was wet with rain, fell and smashed his face and dislocated his shoulder.

Now I'm really curious who is smacking him around like a cracked-out hooker.

Honesty how many believe Harry Reid actually exercises?

I don't believe he has the physical strength to use a treadmill, nor can he jog...JMO

and has anyone seen the recent picture of Chuck Schumer that was posted after he got anointed by Harry Reid to be the next minority leader??? He looks like death sucking on a life saver...believe he has health issues... Folks...age matters...and we have enough of aged oldies in our Congress...enough...lets get younger people...

After a rough and tumble upbringing in the mining town of Searchlight, Reid became an amateur boxer and has acknowledged getting "called out" from bars in his youth.

Funny you should post this picture because that was THE EXACT SAME image and thing I thought of when I heard about his "accident" except Dingy Harry didn't end up in a hole in the desert... at least not yet.

Harry is an evil, utterly corrupt individual who has done tremendous damage to the country all the while lining his pockets with "filthy lucer". All I can say is it couldn't have happened to a "nicer feller" and it is probably a thousandth of what he deserves but the one consolation is that he's been nutered, keeping a very low profile and his big mouth shut ever since his "accident"... sorta like we wipped dog that has been finally "put in its place" by "the powers that be". The swaggering, arrogant bully is gone and all that remains of Harry is a shell of his former self.

..." Reid suffered an eye injury... AND 'BROKEN RIBS'.... on New Year’s Day, when a piece of exercise equipment he was using broke and sent him smashing into cabinets at his new home"...

Giving a new definition to "Politics is a bloody sport" perhaps?

A beating would have been all over. Would have been more than one left hook. Probably a drunken fall or a stroke. Remember that cOw Randi Rhodes said a republican beat her up when she did a face plant in to a railing after a night of hard drinking.

Really... why, pray tell, is Reid not suing the manufacturer?

The principal rumor my friend heard was that Reid had promised to obtain some benefit for a group of mobsters. He met with them on New Year’s Day, and broke the bad news that he hadn’t been able to deliver what he promised. When the mobsters complained, Reid (according to the rumor) made a comment that they considered disrespectful, and one of them beat him up.”

This speculation that Reid got a beating suggests a real reason he has abruptly retired from politics.

"Was Harry Reid beat up by mobsters?"

Did the fat lady sing before the exercise equipment broke?

Maybe something was done and the mobsters involved just so much dissolved slime buried somewhere...

Incoming....

Harry Reid Announces Retirement, Days After Being Implicated in Visa Scheme for Chinese Clients..... a scheme to approve visas for non-qualified foreigners — specifically wealthy Chinese investors of his son Rory’s ‘casino clients’.

The report concluded that Reid pressured a compliant DHS official to override normal departmental procedures and rush through 230 EB-5 foreign visa applications, thereby freeing up $115 million the applicants invested in the SLS Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

The report did not, however, reveal the now confirmed fact that the owner of that casino project had hired Reid’s son, Rory Reid, to provide legal representation for the project.

The Senate and House are now planning hearings to investigate both Reid and DHS Deputy DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, amid talk of potential criminal charges.

Just three days later, Reid announced he will not seek re-election.

I wonder if his brother didn’t beat him up. Wounds on the left side of face indicate left handed hitter .

Not if you add, “and I mean this in the nicest possible way.”

If he was beaten, which I doubt, it was likely by a lefty. He is an old man, probably on blood thinners, which would account for the horrible bruising.
