"Showdown In Searchlight" Makes National Network News!

[sherkey]

@fadespatch, yes you put into it, but why did you allow this to happen. Ben a teacher, would have allowed dou to not have social security withdrawn from your paycheck. You forget to mention the 6.4% that your employer matches your contribution which is 6.4%, so in essence you are making twice as much as you put in. Also your money is safe in the Treasury as opposed to wall street and we know what would have happened if Bush clown wanted to privatize Social security. You are a hypocrite.

[fadedpatch]

I really resent hearing that receiving social security makes me a hypocrite. I paid into SS my entire life, wasn't allowed to touch a penny of it, and now I can. It's MY money. If I had invested the same amount privately I would be receiving 3 times the amount that I currently am. It really pisses me off when people suggest that I'm being supported by taxpayers. BS! MY money and I got screwed. This is non-partisan. The govt can't manage money or business so best they stay out of it..

[sherkey]

@jlgraphicdesign you are 54 and you call yourself a senior. We will see when that retirement drys up you will be coming to the well of socialism.

[sherkey]

So whats changed between now and then to justify Glenn Becks wild reversal of his original bailout advocacy? Well, Obama is the president and Glenn Beck is on Fox News.

[sherkey]

On September 22, 2008, speaking about the bailouts Glenn Beck said:

The REAL STORY is the $700 billion that you're hearing about now is not only, I believe, necessary, it is also not nearly enough, and all of the weasels in Washington know it.

You can do some searching and find Glenn Beck offering his support for the bailout program then, when the election was still in play and while Bush was still in office.

[sherkey]

Oh @jlgraphicdesign.Question for you, Do you receive the social security checks and medicare coverage on a monthly basis? Yes well that's what makes you all hypocrites. All the retirements accounts you have mentioned. How did that work out for you when Bush drove us into a mini depression. Happened on his watch . Go away old man. I would have more respect for you if you sent back the social security checks and medicare coverage that you receive from this socialist government. hypocrite.

[SteelAVic18]

PALIN 2012!!!

[jlgraphicdesign]

Sherkey, I am one of those seniors you are slamming. No senior in their right mind would count on Social Security or Medicare to see them through their golden years. That's why we have retirement accounts. No one wants to spend the rest of their lives living like paupers, every intelligent senior has investments. I won't take Social Security. I can take care of myself. I don't believe in it, and Medicare is a joke. I don't want this Socialist garbage health care.

[smplyamsed]

No, there is no leftist media bias. This talking head journa-liars report was a poster child for leftist media bias. He labels the protest not as the Tea-PARTY, or the Tea-Party protest, but the Tea-party "brigade" He is trying to conflate the Tea-Party with militias. Then goes out of the way to find a few leftists locals who would be upset (probably the egg thowers) and obviously made no effort to find a pro-Tea Party local. Shame on the Journa-liars for their corruption and bias.

[sherkey]

A writer to the las Vegas Sun, says she drove by Searchlight on that day and the 2,300 folks that showed up were mostly over 65. They are protesting government socialist programs while accepting social security and medicare monthly. The reader said she say them BBQing hamburgers, Hamburgers that are inspected by the FDA for safety another "Progressive idea" She also saw some children playing with toys from China, inspected by consumer product safety commission another "progressive Idea HAHAHAHAH

[sherkey]

You have got some cheek wigys, and the state of the irish economy Go away and take care of that and mind your own business. No wonder Ireland is in the bottom five in Europe like Portugal, Spain, turkey, and Greece. HAHAHAHAHA

[sherkey]

ludwigsy songs.you must be a jakeen from ballymum?

[ludwigsongs]

Everyone needs to be taken out of their comfort zone every once in a while... it's what makes us! (those of us who are anything)... so maybe stop whinging and get the fuck on with your lives... we're only here for about 50-80 years if we're lucky... fucking belly aching shite!

[sherkey]

The HC 3200 is now law of the land. The bankrupted Reaganomics and Bushnomics that helped other countries and not ordinary American is dead finally.

SARAH PALIN "HOW'S THAT HOPEY CHANGEY FEELING WORKING OUT FOR YOU?

Answer: JUST GREAT SARAH BARRACUDA.HAHA

[sherkey]

The republicans are alright with protecting Medicaid and Social Security, things they fought so hard to not make into law .Now they want to protect these two democratic ideals .I love the irony Ronald MacDonald Reagan wanted to get rid of social security. the tea bag old members would not like that!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHA

SARAH PALIN "HOW'S THAT HOPEY CHANGEY FEELING WORKING OUT FOR YOU?

Answer: JUST GREAT SARAH BARRACUDA.HAHA

[sherkey]

Thats life.that's what all the people say...riding high in January (Scott brown) shot down in march (health care is now law of the land) Yeah that's the ticket

SARAH PALIN "HOW'S THAT HOPEY CHANGEY FEELING WORKING OUT FOR YOU?

Answer: JUST GREAT SARAH BARRACUDA.HAHA

[sherkey]

Tea party members take social security, and Medicaid. These are against the Constitution. Hypocrites all of them I do not see them taking the checks back and say we do not want the money! Yeah right. Hypocrites! That's the ticket!

SARAH PALIN "HOW'S THAT HOPEY CHANGEY FEELING WORKING OUT FOR YOU?

Answer: JUST GREAT SARAH BARRACUDA.HAHA

[sherkey]

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

GOOD LUCK IN REVERSING THE HC BILL HAHAHAHA

[sherkey]

I love it when hannity and Limbaugh and the dwarf Levin said that politics should never be guided by polls. What changed? Oh that's right you are out of power HAHAHAHAHA

[sherkey]

I just found out on drudge that the "24" show was canceled. Man I am so happy, The conservative draft dodgers loved this show, they were able to fantasize about what it would be like to actually serve your country something they are incapable of doing. Limbaugh loves this show, unfortunately the big boil on his arse prevented him from serving his country and the fact his blood is Y plus yellow coward juice! HAHAHAHAHAHA

[sherkey]

Progression is the law of the land. You tried to take back social security, unemployment and Medicaid. you failed. BTW it is interesting how these people are against healthcare but take the unemployment, social security and Medicaid very easily. hypocrites

[sherkey]

Palin said, how's that hopey changey thing working out for you? Answer: Just fine Sarah thank you, just like the people of Alaska when you quit

[sherkey]

Republicans in control when the great depression and recession was in full force.

Hoover=The great Depression

Reagan=Black Monday

George the first=recession

George the baby II= very big Depression

Thank you. you may go now

[sherkey]

You republicans tried to reverse Social security, Medicare and Unemployment to no avail. they were in power 1992 - 2006 and they did not once tackle these socialist Ills I think the election of Scott Brown made you guys drop your guard. Obama Hussein just gave you a very very surprising LEFTIST uppercut. Now you are in the middle of the ring dizzy with the blow.

[sherkey]

Fox news (fair and balanced)set up the protest. Beck Hannity, dwarf levin and Limbaugh set it up and got their circus fans in a frenzy and let them lose on Searchlight Where were the leaders mentioned. laughing their arses off counting their money made on these clowns HAHAHAHA

[sherkey]

the conservatives books, the magazines, mugs t shirts, hats.all these things are sold to you and the clowns above. you are the ones that are getting screwd not I HAHAHAHAHA

[sherkey]

teabagger untied my arse. you are all a bunch of ignorant racist. I hope that Shrill fool runs in 2012. She will quit like she did when she was governor HAHAHAHA

[roodingle]

Reid will lose next election.

[SteelAVic18]

PALIN IS ROCKING AMERICA!!!

[superawesomegoodtime]

And you should see what lovely people were there. I have a video on page off a little drive through through the area when the protest...I mean demonstration was going on. Such anger, hate and misinformation.

[OnlyJesusCanSaveYou]

You don't believe in God who is the objective authority of morality so you have no standard. First you parents were prolife it doesn't matter what mankind may say mankind is fallible they were also not homosexual. If someone wants to know if a characteristic they have is good & natural they need to ask themself should everyone be like me?

[OnlyJesusCanSaveYou]

I already proved you were a liar by showing you the fact that conservatives are not racist and hateful like you stated. It seems you are angry at the people who represent the principles whereas I am angry with the principles of people.

[sherkey]

the review journal had a reporter, he stated that maybe and that's a stretched 7000 people were there HAHAHAHAHA.Thanks for leaving your money in nevada people

[OnlyJesusCanSaveYou]

Sniff? See your not sincere. Odd enough my wife is having a baby right as we speak. I am a conservative and I'm going to raise my daughter up in the ways of the Lord I will homeschool her and thank God in Jesus name he has blessed me beyond belief with everything we need Amen.

[OnlyJesusCanSaveYou]

You make no sense. Abortion is murder and homosexual is unnatural both are sinful and sinful people are cutoff in eternity. There is no excuse you either believe God or you don't. You are a hateful illogical liberal.

[ZegatonZ]

"abortion is murder"

it is not, a conservative controlled supreme court said the constitution, and nature gives a woman the right to evict any entity from her private property

"homosexual is unnatural"

so what if you were right? but you are not

if homosexuality were unnatural, nature would have had eliminated it millions of years ago, nature is part of thousand of animals, including the smartest animal

[ZegatonZ]

onlyjesud

i defend you right to believe in celestial murderous dictators, or that cows are holy, but i will not allow you to make laws based on your creeds

"hateful illogical liberal"

no. i am a defender of persons; rights. like most liberal

look at the history of conservatism with an open mind, you will see how they have consistently denied people's rights

[OnlyJesusCanSaveYou]

Very hateful slanderous liberals I just helped my black family members yesterday I don't need the government to force me like a liberal. If you have a problem with me come theaten me to my face you lying liberal because I'm ready to die for what I believe and love you as I am.

[ZegatonZ]

"very hateful slanderous liberal"

history does not support you"

very few conservatives sided with freeing the slaves, with giving woman their rights, with eliminating segregation

are you in favor of forcing women's reproductive organs being regulated by the government

are you in favor of negating gays their rights?

[ZegatonZ]

onlyjesus

no one forces you to anything, if you are no happy with the rules of the land that are designed to give every embryo turned person A DIGNIFIED LIFE, you can move to a country that matches your creed

the universe runs following laws, without them, it collapses

[ZegatonZ]

"lying liberal"

point to my lies, please, so i can learn

[OnlyJesusCanSaveYou]

Zeg, do you not know that Abraham Lincoln was a conservative and Republican. All the comments against us conservative freedom loving God fearing Jesus loving Americans are desperate attempts by the Devil to attack the people of the living God. The comments against us are the true hateful ones and hypocritical. It doesn't matter we are right and you are immature and we are trying teach you and wake you up.

[OnlyJesusCanSaveYou]

What ignorent comments I saw some other people besides what was described. There were many people the numbers published I believe were not correct. I have a multiracial family and the accusations of hate and violence is out of desperation. People who oppose liberty are uneducated slaves to ignorance and tyranny.

[ZegatonZ]

"people who oppose liberty are uneducated slaves of ignorance and tyranny?

thanks for describing conservatives

conservatives want to take women's liberty away

they want to take gays liberty away'

conservatives took black's liberty away

conservatives started segregation'

conservatives had women as property of men

conservatives voted almost 100@ against civil rights

conservatives want to save unwanted, ill, brainless embryos but forget about them after they are born

[ZegatonZ]

Onlyjesus

conservatives want less government, but want government to regulate reproduction organs

conservatives want states to make their own policies, but they invade other countries to dictate the policies

stop being so hypocrite, and work so that obama does not fail bringing the country back

[ZegatonZ]

i have to go

i have the born to look after

i leave the embryo to its carrier

if not your vagina

keep your nose out of it

unless you are invited to sniff it

[starVol]

You like this Obamer's healthcare plan? . Do you have a healthcare plan already? If so this Obamer Yahoo has so many restrictions and punishments against the insurance companies that most of our health care plans wil so be a thing of the past. Look, I can appreciate your slow of wit here, so I'll speak in terms of numbers. You will soon be paying out the ass in taxes. Government will soon be crawling up our asses. Your Children and their Children will be paying this crap off a long long time.

[commonsensedoc]

Amazing to see the pathetic Communists here railing against the engine that will roll over them this November. "First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they fight you, then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi.

Looks like we're somewhere between mock and fight. That sets up perfectly for November, when we win!

[ZegatonZ]

"communists"

calling liberals communists dismisses the rest of you comments..............

you are either an ignorant, indoctrinated mind, or mindless

[sherkey]

Las vegas review Journal sunday edition 7000 people only attended HAHAHAHAHAHA

[starVol]

Since those Crooks up there in Washington ignored our voices, maybe these Crooks will listen now t hat the tea party express is full gear. Legal and peaceful change starting in 2010

[wazoome]

@starVol if you are led by Palin, then the world will smile. She's about the most humorous thing to happen to politics! Even I love her, because I've never laughed so hard in my life about politics until she came out of the woodwork. She's a gem! Gotta love Palin, even if you would never elect her!

[ZegatonZ]

"changes in 2010"

lets, see

management "A" brought your own company to the floor,..so management "B" is hired, against your objections. your company is no longer going down, but up and up, and you are hoping and working hard to bring "A" to oversee you company again

would you do that to you own company?

[snakpak9]

I flew in there today right before Palin's jet!! I was there to show my support.

[snakpak9]

support to get Harry REID OUT!!!

[MidwestN8TV]

@snakpak9 All I see are old people, and endless RV's.....it is laughable at how stereotypical the teabaggers are: mostly old, fat, white, redneck, and their signs are almost always misspelled.

[wazoome]

@MidwestN8TV yes the KKK reinvents itself each year to mask who they really are. Have you seen very many sophisticated racists, really?

[ZegatonZ]

snake

"to show her my support"

you conservatives are showing your great commonsense,,,,,,,you keep supporting a politician who does not know her ass from her mouth

you really want people like her or bush running the country?

[anteeker33]

I was in Searchlight today and there were well over 10 thousand strong. People were parked 3 miles down the highway from the event.

[ZegatonZ]

"people were parked 3 miles down the highway from the event"

you mean clones

[martharad]

Diane Kendall is the realtor in Searchlight. And aren't most to the "Tea Partiers" on Medicare anyway? Or did they turn down that particular form of guv'mint health care? I doubt it.

[wazoome]

@martharad the teabaggers don't mind socialized medicine like medicaid and medicare when THEY are the recipients.  Just like the Republican senators who enjoy the same insurance they wanted to deny to the rest of America. Hypocrites all!

[sherkey]

@onlyjesuscondemns you.are you kidding me. You say you are a christian and you dont want to help your fellow Americans I bet you had no problem with our troops killing innocent people overseas. Did you shed a tear when your Americans were neglected during katrina? Hell no you didnt. You are going to hell with me you hypocrite.

[sherkey]

Sorry there was 7,200 as said by the tea party Express online. you lie again. BTW hannity was right She is very very shrill worse than Clinton

[FederalReserveMan]

Reid is history!

[OnlyJesusCanSaveYou]

I was in the middle of the whole thing and walked all around and there was approximately 20,000+ people there. We demand freedom from big government. We worship God in Jesus name. We are peaceful and will remember. Time for Harry Reid to go into retirement the people have spoken.

[wazoome]

@OnlyJesusCanSaveYou go pray that you can round up enough racists for the next event, so you teabaggers can scream some more racial slurs. What a fine upstanding Christian thing that was, eh?

[ZegatonZ]

"there were 20 000+ people there"

so? there are even more in mental institution

where you people belong

[ZegatonZ]

"we are peaceful"

hell no you are not

conservatives are the american talibans

they fought to keep slavery legal, claiming if laves were freed their economy would colapse

conservatives have invaded countries, murdered millions of innocent people ,supported murderous leaders

most conservatives are the scum of the earth

and no

[JackoDano]

Frickin" idiots.....

[roodingle]

Reid should be ashamed of himself.

[ZegatonZ]

on the contrary,, he is no clone or indoctrinated

he represents people, not special interest groups

[klooger13]

Beautiful move Tea Party. On to San Francisco!

[ZegatonZ]

"on to San Francisco"

and have a gay of a tea party

hahahahahahaha

[czubspenx]

The rest of the country is going to look like Searchlight after Reid spends this country into poverty.

[ZegatonZ]

"country into poverty"

nothing will make it worse that how bush left it

caring for the uninsured is more costly

when would you conservatives learn, ...or grow an independent and working brain?

[wazoome]

@ZegatonZ AMEN! Thank GOD there is one thinking person here!

[czubspenx]

@ZegatonZ What most people don't realize is that it's like we have a one party system in this country. No matter who gets elected, very little changes. We still have the never ending perpetual wars going on now for 8 years, still bailing out big companies, spending money like drunken sailors

[wazoome]

Hilarious! Rules for radicals quoted by a teabagger who follows Palin. Amusing as hell! Americans have spoken and the malcontents like Palin, who exemplify bimboism are still clenching their teeth. The motels, houseboats, rooms for rent...all of this is wonderful for Searchlight. Profits? Revenues? Palin works her pretty image to bring EVERYONE ELSE profit again! Ya gotta love this gal! She's a money maker, even if she can't grasp basic world events with coaching!

[ZegatonZ]

hahahahahahhaa

we need these people for when the comedy channel is not on

[wazoome]

@ZegatonZ Palin certainly was one of the best comedic actresses known to politics. I sort of miss her day to day antics.  They were hilarious!

[teacup295]

Congratulations for a great turnout and fantastic Tea Party! BTW professional leftist bloggers, just ignore them, they aren't worth the effort. We will concentrate our energies on voting these people out in Nov. and taking our country back. We are proud of all our Tea Party friends.  Great kickoff!!! Thanks to everyone!!! lots of prayers for continued success. God Bless America!

[ZegatonZ]

"taking the country back"

first we need to buy it back, after bush destroyed it

why would you want to rehire the management that ruined your co?

[gandsmarketing]

UN believable to me that people still stick up for this communist agenda from our government.

The Tea Party is only a gathering of REAL Americans that care about the destruction of our constitution that is going on right now. There will be no Tea Party Candidate. WAKE UP Dems.. Your Freedoms are slipping away very fast..This country is is turning upside down and it needs to be stopped.

Educate yourselves before making absurd comments for the world to see.

[ZegatonZ]

"the sky is falling the sky is falling"

what nonsense

[sherkey]

As a proud Nevadan, thank you for coming to Nevada and spending your money here. if people think that Nevadans are going to get rid of Reid who stopped the Yucca mountain project from becoming a reality is sadly mistaken. Are we going to give up our seniority in the Senate for Lowden or a basketball player? Sorry no! We will see in November. Do not count Reid out! He is a fighter. I wish the Tea Party protest all the best, but you will not win!

[sherkey]

BTW these very obtuse people above distain our higher education universities as communist also, but they cannot go to school and educate themselves on the issues. Their school is fox and friends. It is so funny to see these people getting their education from Doody ( a weatherman) and Gretchen Elizabeth Carlson ( a pageant model) and Kilmeade ( a sportscaster) this is classic.

[90usmc]

i have a friend who is a tea party member. He admits he is a hypocrite for accepting social security and medicare. I would have more respect for this movement id they all refused these socialist programs, but guess what.they will not! This is very hypocritical

[90usmc]

Sorry your argument dos not hold water. Not one of the tea party people refuse their social security checks, unemployment benefits or their medicare coverage. these ideas were from democrats who put them into law. Not one of these people refuse these benefits.

[gandsmarketing]

Actually YOUR argument does not hold water.

SS is mandated!!! You have to pay into it, theres no choice!! So all those on SS are doing is getting back a portion of their own money that government has been hoarding.

They would have been better off investing themselves over the years or just keeping it in a bank account. SS is just another socialist program put together by progressives. So of course they don't refuse the money..IT'S THEIR MONEY.....iT'S not A BENEFIT !!!

[172677]

Having been to Searchlight many times, I can tell you they are happy as clams for all the money coming in. It's a tiny little intersection in the middle of nowhere and revenue is hard to come by. As for the Tbagggers...well, they're just a bunch of poor uneducated boobs. Totally irrelevant.

Go Searchlight.

[wazoome]

Serve the Tea Party some crackers, Searchlight, make all kinds of revenue off of them during their stay, and then send them home with their racial slurs to the gutter communities they come from and have a good laugh.

[rochesterkatwright]

Bury your head in the sand...you Progressives are goin' down!

[buzzy07405]

I want you to know that although I won't be there, I will be there in spirit! GET RID OF REID!

[pastelsbywelz]

Why come here?

Because we own Harry Reid.

If he does not like it then get off my payroll,Harry.

Pffftttt....

[NoGuff]

They may not like it, but WE'RE FREE TO DO SO.

At least for now.

[mcap52]

There will be country wide celebrations when "Dingy Reid"gets booted out of the senate.

[3martijns]

99% of the Businesses there are Very Happy about the Rally.

[wazoome]

Absolutely! Once again, the bimbo Sarah Palin is the BEST thing that could happen to the Democratic Party and now the businesses of Searchlight. I applauded when she became a V.P. candidate for McCain, as a Democrat, because I KNEW it would mean the election was sealed and in the bag! And the comedic value was just a bonus!

[3martijns]

@wazoome I see that you are following "Rules for Radicals", but it will Not work Anymore. You will be Very Disappointed in November.

[3martijns]

NBC is in the Oligarchy with obammie and GE, etc. They had to Look Hard to find 2 people who like Scarey Harry - he would Not care if Everyone of 'the common people' had to live in a shack like they showed at start of vid.

[MsFreedomnow]

GO TEA PARTY! I can't actually be there, but I am there in spirit. Impolite? Passing that monstrosity Obamacare is more than impolite. I hope this is just the beginning. The revolution is just beginning and I hope Harry Reid has to look for a job like my husband and I are. (Oh, I forgot, he gets that amazing retirement plan that all of Congress voted for themselves. Do you think we could vote one in for us?

[RebelStangII]

GO Patriots!

LONG LIVE THE REBELLION!

[teacup295]

We are strong, we will not forget, we will be voting in Nov.! Searchlight is part of America and all Americans have a right to visit. We still have freedom of speech! We do know the political side of Harry Reid, that's why we want him out of office along with many other Democrats that refused to listen to the people.

[skjoyner]

We wouldn't knock on your friend if he hadn't subjected us to slavery & servitude to Government and shredded our Constitution you dumb ass. To the old bitch we know Harry. I no longer have freedom of religion because of Obamacare. I'm forced to participate in the murder of unborn children. God tells me to have NOTHING to do with the murder of innocents. Now Obamacare is going to FORCE me to have something to do with it. My Constitutional rights are no more.

[M83Benz]

I wish I could attend this myself! Vote Harry Reid out!!!!!!!

[HereinLasVegas]

I for one will be there and will deliberately not spen a dime in Searchlight...I hope all attendees do the same!

[4652jiada]

This CREEP has got to go. Start packing Harry!

[Rocky32084]

Wow nbc didnt even call them "teabaggers"

[ConteL62]

This guy blatantly ruins Americans' lives and yet it's "impolite" to peacefully protest in his hometown. Unreal.

[OurCountryPAC]

Yeah - how dare we exercise our free speech rights in the town where Harry Reid is from. Apparently that part of the country is already under the "don't question the government" decree that Obama & the Congress seem to be trying to impose. They just want us to SHUT UP. But, guess what: we're not going to, because we have every right to speak out and fight back at the ballot box!

[ninefin]

Would the business people of Searchlight prefer a motorcycle rally? The negative response to Tea Party in town is undersatandable. Just look how prosperous Scary Harry has contributed to his hometown. LMAO

[Raycheetah]

Hey, local businessmen! Quitcher bellyaching! Tea Partiers spend money! =^[.]^=

[cessnaman1958]

heh, If I had a casino there, I would be yelling YIPPEE

[wazoome]

Exactly! Revenue for hotels, meals, and other tourist items! Even Palin is too stupid to figure this out. Amazing how dumb this broad is!

[OurCountryPAC]

That woman, Verlie Doring, is a close friend of Harry Reid's. She just sent out an endorsement letter for Reid's campaign and is hosting the kickoff event for his statewide barnstorming tour next month.

But NBC forgot to mention that part! :)

[ancestralyuba]

@OurCountryPAC : Figures NBC would conveniently neglect to mention that.

[HereinLasVegas]

I'll be there and won't spend a penny!!!!
