Rude for Reid

[alienlovechild 75]

Saturday's Tea Party Express event in the hometown of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was downplayed by much of the media -- perhaps because the only incidents of violent behavior among the large crowd seemed to come from angry supporters of Mr. Reid. Following a week in which charges and countercharges about which side in the health care debate has engaged in more objectionable rhetoric, the media's treatment of the Tea Party event in Searchlight, Nev. was curious.

CNN's Fredricka Whitfield certainly didn't think the crowd was worth much of a mention, estimating that only "hundreds of people, at least dozens of people," turned out for it. By contrast, Politco.com concluded that the event drew "as estimated 20,000 Tea Partiers" to a windswept desert lot.

Andrew Breitbart, the conservative Internet entrepreneur who was one of several speakers at the rally, says the crowd was large enough that it raised the ire of local Reid supporters. He noticed one man holding a sign directing Tea Parties in the wrong direction. When Mr. Breitbart approached to chat with the Reid supporters, he saw several throwing eggs at the Tea Party Express buses. The protesters, he says, quickly surrounded him, including one who declared: "I'm going to have to go to jail today if this guy [breitbart] doesn't leave."

"It's unsettling to see them use threats and provocation like this," he told me. He was especially peeved at what he witnessed given what he said were the unconfirmed accusations hurled at Tea Party protestors last week in Washington, including that some had used ugly and violent language against members of the Congressional Black Caucus. On stage at the Searchlight event, Mr. Breitbart offered to donate $100,000 to charity if anyone could provide video evidence that racial epithets were used against CBC members. Mr. Breitbart says he suspects the accusations were just a cynical attempt by the left and elements of the media to "marginalize" the Tea Party movement.

If so, it doesn't seem to be working. The stage at the Nevada event was crowded with notables, including Sarah Palin. She brought cheers from attendees when she proclaimed that voters in the November election would fire Harry Reid. She added: "There's something not quite right when Fidel Castro comes out and says he likes ObamaCare when we don't."

Another speaker was Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, who told the audience: "Voters don't want to see the Constitution trampled. They are angry, they deserve to be listened to and this is going to be heard nationally."

The wider picture.

Well if we are going for a "wider picture" why didn't you mention Bill ayers (Obamas buddy who bombed the Pentagon)?

As for media coverage.... seems any group protesting Bush got plenty of attention.

Hell, who was the dingbat mom camped out at the gates of the Crawford ranch.... Cindy sheehan..... she got -on the hour, updates from major media.

How many bombings did you say you connected directly to the party tea movement?

Not sure, ask danno he's the bomb expert.

So tell me, how many RWNs (Right Wing Nuts) have been arrested for their part in threats against Democrat politicos, versus the number of LWMs (Left Wing Moonbats) arrested for threatening Republicans.

Ah, that would be RWNs 0:1 LWMs. Poor Eric Cantor must feel like he's been betrayed by his domestic terrorist sympathisers.

When we first reported that Harry Reid Supporters threw eggs at the Tea Party Express bus, some on the left tried to blame Andrew Breitbart, claiming that it never happened, or that if it did, Breitbart probably threw the eggs himself to make the Reid supporters look bad.

Too bad for them there is video. In this clip, a Reid supporting union man is busted egg handed!

The egg man featured above was also recorded calling Breitbart a racist, and blocking our camera, almost pushing me out into the street.

Must have been an RWN masquerading as a Harry Reid supporter. Either that, or he's really Undercover Elephant ...
