Apparently, if you are a leftist supporter of the democratic Senate leader you can scream anything at a town hall rally and it’s OK… Even if you scream for conservatives to drop dead.
The state-run media only cares about bogus charges against conservative protesters.
At Harry Reid’s town hall this week not only did the Majority leader poke fun of Sarah Palin but a supporter in the front row screamed “They can drop dead” when he mentioned the thousands of tea party protesters who showed up at the Searchlight rally.
For some reason this never made any headlines?

We’ll see who has the last laugh come November. I wouldn’t bet on it being Harry and his dozens of supporters in Nevada.

OT from free republic…. while an opinion piece you have to ask “do you feel lucky”. i always felt a world without nukes was good but what do you do when you’re the only one that was dumb enough to buy it……

WOW, that room was packed, SRO. Just mindless skulls full of mush prostituting themselves to thier master. Your days are numbered and soon you’ll get what most of america has already gotten. A pink slip.
powder is dry.
Iconoclast commented:
Anyone else notice the guy in the right foreground with his back to hairball? Looks like dirty hairy doesn’t dare to appear in his own town w/o bodyguards. Wonder why, popular guy in tune with his constituents and all, right?
squeaky commented:
poor jane fonda – worried about Palin’s popularity and still bent over some myth about her…. not that having a known name and lending it to the enemy of the time should create an impression that one was sweet on the guys that managed the hanoi hilton….
[why it is that 300 people went to North Vietnam, people, many people before me, why me, why have they created this myth? You know, when I came back from North.....]

The bodyguard in the right foreground was very obvious to the extent that it sends a message…. Harry is afraid of his constituents..
Mechan8 commented:
Isn’t he clever! not even his attempt at humor is funny except to his 100 followers…What he should write on his hand is…”Look for a job” because come November, “you betcha”…he’s going to be out of work…
Hal commented:
MSM = Weapons of Mass Distraction
Male Silverback commented:
Harry wouldn’t need the the bodyguard if he was doing what the people wanted.
Male Silverback commented:
Well, I should instead say, if he was doing what was good for the country and not just what the people want.
Opus #6 commented:
Dozens of Reid supporters.
Thousands of Tea Partiers.
Looks like a case of party envy.
Andreas K. commented:
My my, what civilized, couragous, smart and eloquent people those left wingers are.
Sandy commented:
Chisum — 100 huh lolol — Gee couldn’t they even pay enough Union members to make the crowd look larger? Even Lieberman when running for President in 2004 understood that when you can’t attract a crowd its time to hang it up.
Sandy commented:
Yeah lets unilaterally disarm–sounds like another great plan from the man with the reverse Midas Touch. What could happen? The Lion Will Lay Down With The Lamb — that is until the Lion wakes up hungry.
SteveCan commented:
Don’t let the door hit you Harry you F’n bozo.
Doug G commented:
In the last 5 seconds of the clip, Reid states “. . . my last election in 1998 was a tough one . . .”
I suspect he really is losing his grasp on reality, as his last election was in 2004 (unless Nevada’s senators somehow serve 12 year terms).
This brain burp is similar to his other recent mistakes and misstatements, including twice voting “no” on the health care bill during the roll call votes (he switched his votes to “yes” on both occasions after he was corrected by colleagues).
After he loses in November, we may see him begin receiving treatments for addle-mindedness.

Bodyguard spends entire time nervously rubbing his hands together. Either his bladder is full or he figures his future isn’t too bright.

Harry Reid Supporter Screams Teapartiers “Can Drop Dead”
Tea Partiers reply “You First”
jcrue commented:
Harry Reid does not speak for this Nevadan.
Joanne commented:
Ridicule is the tactic of the left – just watch in the media – it is done all the time, and Obama has it down to a science.
Roger commented:
Looked like a Kool-Aid party to me.
clyde commented:
he should know that whoever he runs against,it will not be sarah so why bring her up? the reason that the crowd is so small is his search light supporters are ducking arrest warrents and since thier pictures are on the internet people might decide that he could not find fresh faces.
MVH commented:
He seemed to reiterate the death of Tea Partyers when he said, “You betcha.”
Anyone notice what a closed space the video was shot in? Looks like all the people the Punch-Drunk Old Boxer could gather was only a room full.

Harry won”t need a job he stole enough from tax payer to live the life of a King.
