1. we are more conservative

no we are!

[blondeatlast]

2. k/r. nt

[Gin]

3. the audience was laughing at her....it's almost sad....god, if she

wins....help us all.

[Bozita]

15. And she doesn't even realize they're laughing AT her, not WITH her.

The empress with no clothes.

Calvin Trillin needs to write a poem about the obtuse Angle.

[lumpy]

40. Obtuse Angle - great description.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

4. "I have a degree in education and I got into politics when my son failed kindergarten"

[JuniperLea]

6. I wonder what she'll do after politics...

Manure spreader perhaps? Oh, wait... she's that now!

[teknomanzer]

28. That says it all doesn't it.

[lumpy]

39. If her son failed kindergarten she should take a good long

look at herself. Ridiculous. With a mother like that it is no wonder the kid had problems. Her very demeanor is offensive, she is cast in stone with a sickly grin.

[JuniperLea]

5. That last picture cracks me up...

Titty twister! :rofl:

[whathehell]

8. That's sick though...Freaking A, he's an old man.

[JuniperLea]

10. That's part of the funny!

EW... hahaha! EW... hahaha!

[whathehell]

12. To each his own, I guess.

I find it ugly.

[sabrina 1]

16. I found it ugly also ~

As you say, to each their own ~

[lumpy]

41. LOL got me laughing.

titty twister

[Radical Activist]

7. People are just laughing at her.

Tea party nuts get coverage when they heckle Democrats. Does it get in the press when a tea party candidates is laughed at and ridiculed by an audience?

[AsahinaKimi]

9. A lot of people booing and hissing Angle

I hope this means, that in this sample, in Nevada there are far more wiser people, who show up at the ballot box and end her career very quickly.

[Grassy Knoll]

24. Here in Nevada.....

you can check "none of the above" and Harry is counting on that.
The mayors in Reno and Sparks have endorsed Harry Reid, as well
as most casinos and hotels and the biggest backers are the unions.

[molly77]

25. Harry would have to be running against someone

like her in order to win. He has done some good and a lot more bad.

[whathehell]

11. Does anyone know who threw the first punch? n/t

[ElsewheresDaughter]

14. the old man threw the first 2 punches

[Bold Lib]

18. A person claiming to be two rows back said that the lady kicked the old man first.

Then he punched her.

Well, I remembered it a little wrong. It appears she kicked the woman the old man was with.

[ArcticFox]

13. lady in the striped shirt?

Looks like she started it - that striped shirt guy looks to have been minding his own business, perhaps trying to protect his wife in the pink shirt.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. Nope.

The account is posted in http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x453885">LBN and appears to be backed up by these photos.

A Nevada Senate candidate forum ended in a scuffle, and this time, it wasn't just the candidates exchanging jabs.
Kelly Tanaki said an unidentified man pushed her over and punched her friend Thursday after the forum at Faith Lutheran Jr./Sr. High School.
The fight came after an impassioned event during which the crowd both heckled and cheered Republican Sharron Angle and Democrat Harry Reid.
The man was detained by school officials. The 27-year-old Tanaki said the fight occurred because she walked past the man, not because she supports Reid and he backs Angle.

If you look at the first photo, you can see Kelly and her friend walking past the man.



It looks like, at that point, she was shoved.

So she turns around and starts yelling at the man (as I'm sure we all would do). It looks like her friend joins in, too.



It then led to the punching.

[kayakjohnny]

19. It looks to me like she was upset that he wore the same shirt as she did to the event.

And that's what caused the awkward situation.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. LOL

"Well one of us is going to have to change."

[chelsea0011]

37. It is clear that he must have done something when the first woman went by

All the people behind him are standing, clapping, and cheering, and he is just sitting there as nothing is happening. And then he decides to throw a haymaker? It doesn't make sense.

[marmar]

20. Maybe we should start handling our politics Taiwan-parliament style.....

..... and just start beating the hell out of each other.

[rucky]

22. This one didn't "stay in Vegas"

[Hyper_Eye]

23. So we are now at a point where people can't respectfully watch a debate?

Why attend if you don't want to hear what the candidates have to say? I don't care who is on what side. This was a pitiful display of immaturity by those in the audience.

[butterfly77]

26. They started it...

and it is going to get worser than this,sooner or later..

[AlbertCat]

32. and it is going to get worser

Soon it will be the worsest! :eyes:

[littlewolf]

36. yes it will get worse ... when Dem candidates speak they will be shouted down ..

tit for tat .... and so the downward spiral begins ....

[teknomanzer]

30. If people choose not to suffer FOOLS then so BE IT!

Sharon Angle should be shouted down and ridiculed where ever she goes for even THINKING she is worthy of the position of senator. That way EVERYONE will know she is a FUCKING CLOWN! Then she can crawl back under the rock she emerged from.

[Techn0Girl]

33. That's probably OK in YOUR country... but here in America ....

we have this thing called free speech and elected officials.

It means we are (supposed to be ) a civilized society and, yes, even Sharon Angle gets her say.

[teknomanzer]

34. America is my country...

a country whose constitution I swore to protect, and I would be using my free speech to let everyone know she is a FUCKING CLOWN. If someone says something stupid and my natural reaction is to LAUGH LOUD AND HARD that is my constitutional right.

And we are WAY the hell past civilized. We are living in the theater of the absurd. You need to wake up and acknowledge the stupidity before it sweeps you up and carries you along for a very heinous ride.

[Techn0Girl]

35. Comments like "we are way past civilized" .....

and such are what teabaggers are all about.
It's not what I am about and it's not what Democrats should be about.

Look, I'm completely familiar with the phenomenon of the Internet blowhard. They are in every forum imaginable. Meek people who make big bad noises on the internet. They probably have them on knitting forums claiming they'll stab out the eyes of anyone who doesn't use the correct yarn.

I get that.
I am just saying you look foolish when you talk that way and reasonable people wil tend to ignore you when you do. Just as I am going to to now with a couple of clicks.

[John Kerry VonErich]

42. Please understand as well, to most people, we are at war here in America.

Just hasn't escoladed into something more widespead.


yet.

[Celtic Merlin]

27. The TITLE of this piece says, "Brawl Erupts After Reid, Angle Spar in Nevada Senate Race Forum" BUT

The vid is NOT of those two people debating.

Can this be repaired to reflect the truth of what is presented?

[underpants]

29. They laughter is very effective - it exposes her as the joke that she is

[Ken Burch]

31. "if he were to die...less regulation would create a better business climate"?

Yeah...maybe...but he'd STILL be dead.

[mitchtv]

38. looks like the Lady did'nt like the gentleman's shirt

he wore it better
