All Three Networks Ignore Harry Reid Connecting Marine Deaths to Sequester Cuts

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday linked the accidental deaths of seven U.S. Marines to sequester spending cuts. All three networks have, thus far, skipped the story. After highlighting the details of the botched training event in Hawthorne, Nevada, the Democrat manipulated the tragedy: "But one of the things in sequester is we cut back in training and maintenance."

He added, "This sequester should go away...These men and women, our Marines were training there in Hawthorne. And with this sequester, it's going to cut back this stuff." These comments came on the floor of the U.S. Senate, yet ABC's World News and Good Morning America, NBC's Nightly News and Today, the CBS Evening News and the CBS This Morning all ignored Reid's remarks (though they discussed the accident itself). ABCNews.com covered the story, but acquitted Reid of bad motives: "Harry Reid Commemorates Dead Marines, Calls for End to Sequester."

And in fact, one Marine Corps official told us a short time ago that he considers this nothing but pure political posturing on the backs of these dead Marines.

Harry Reid and his democrat ILK hate the military as well as being totally ignorant!
When Reid and his fellow traitors told the terrorists hey our troops are terrorists. Our troops kill civilians. Our troops air raid villages!
Why wouldn't the enemy be happy and our troops demoralized?
Yet that is what happened! A Harvard study showed increased violence in Iraq when statements like these were made and widely shared among the terrorists as words of "emboldenment"!!!

Harry is really getting senile. Maybe he should consider retirement.

I wish someone would say something as embarrassing as humanly possible live on any of those conservative shows regarding Prince Harry. {hmm, whats that term that's used to refer to a dirty old man who like little boys?}

The guy has 0 integrity zip nada zilch!!

Tragic indeed!!!,but this happens from time to time,back in the 80's we lived about 30 miles from Fort Bragg,it wasn't uncommon to hear about training accidents,those guys play with some mean stuff,and things go wrong from time to time. We hear the same from Drum now and then,suspect and active military base see the same.

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

and he is so concerned about Romneys taxes? Doesn't Harry live in a room at a local Ritz Carelton or Marriott? paid for by our taxes?

when a meteor strikes the Bronx, odds are harry will blame the sequester for killing the star wars project.

Harry Ried: pretty much proves that Nevada has a 50% Dumbass Voting population. Just like California.

^ That about sums it up. I'm really thinking that sequester is responsible for killing off any remaining common sense Harry Reid might have had left.

Key words: might have.

god I hope come summer of 2014 all polls show a repeat of 2010, then lets see what lies Harry comes up with as a sign of desperation.
