Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle says two of her opponent's supporters "staged" the brawl that erupted Thursday at a candidate forum attended by her and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

"There were two women that were actually looking for a fight, trying to get that to be the top news story and they succeeded," Angle told national radio host Jerry Doyle on Friday. Audio of the exchange was posted online by well-known Nevada political journalist Jon Ralston.
Angle had attended the forum in person while Reid submitted his responses via video.

Video and photos of the fight appear to show a man punching a woman in the head. News reports indicate the woman was attempting to walk out of the auditorium during Angle's closing remarks.

Reid's campaign seized the moment, saying Angle's remarks raise "serious questions about [her] character."

"Beyond her extreme and dangerous agenda for Nevada, Angle has said many things that cause reasonable people to literally question her sanity and whether or not Angle knows the difference between the pathological things that escape her mouth and objective reality - and this may take the cake," Reid's spokesman, Kelly Steele said in a statement.

Of course, when the story first broke, both campaigns returned “no comment”, Angle no doubt waiting for a national radio show to denounce it as “staged” and Reid using it as an excuse to make political points. I find it interesting that she chose to focus on saying it was "staged" (which it obviously wasn't) while Reid chose what I think is the smarter move, to use it politically.

It apparently started when some Reid supporters started walking out at the end of the event, as Angle was making her closing comments. Given there was so much heckling during each candidate’s speeches, not surprising it turned into fisticuffs. But really...that was a hell of a punch, and hitting a woman like that??

The the story with the best coverage is at http://www.fox5vegas.com/news/25155317/detail.html which show the guy throwing a punch at one of the women. There’s another still shot of him punching her at http://www.ktnv.com/Global/story.asp?S=13214704. Kinda says it all. Apparently Angle’s supporters are taking her talk of “revolution” seriously!

I can respect that. That whore was grabbing him by his collar and hitting him. I can easily see me punching you in your head at a political event. I wouldn't think twice. I see it as a reasonable response.

I'd have simply pinned her.

No, there are no photos of that, she didn't hit him. The reports all say "she made contact first", and the photos show her poking him in the chest. Show a photo of her hitting him and we'll believe you...until then, continue in your mysogynistic ramblings.

Whatever she said to him, he had to have said something first, or she wouldn't have stopped walking out to confront him. Whatever she said to him, it's no excuse to haul off and deck her!

Oh, she's using it politically, alright. She's using it to paint the Democrats as habitual liars, willing to stage any outrageous scene to smear the poor Republicans, just as the tea party folk did with the "racial slur" flap last March--it's what she's been saying about Reid for her entire campaign. Republicans are just plain, honest folk, don'tcha know, while the Dem's are deceitful, elitists trying to pull the wool over our four-square, god-fearin' eyes. It's the old pot calling the fire engine black routine, courtesy of Karl Rove.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
